Robert De Niro’s 19-year-old grandson Leandro De Niro Rodriguez died after taking pills laced with fentanyl, his heartbroken mom has claimed.

The teenager’s death is being probed as a possible overdose after his lifeless body was discovered inside a Lower Manhattan apartment Sunday with a white, powdery substance and drug paraphernalia nearby, police sources said.

While the toxicology report is still pending, his grief-stricken mom, Drena De Niro, has alleged someone knowingly sold her son tainted drugs.

“Someone sold him fentanyl laced pills that they knew were laced yet still sold them to him,” Drena, 51, wrote on Instagram Tuesday in response to a comment asking about the cause of her son’s death.

Prayers for the kid, but, DeNiro is a psychotic leftist has no clue to what his politics engenderes.

The jist of the story is that someone sold him some “bad” drugs, not that he was using drugs.

Taking any kind of illegal drugs you buy off the street is like playing Russian roulette.

They’ll find a way to turn this to all street drugs are dangerous. We need to make them freely available from a local pharmacy in order to protect the user.

Not to be heartless, but hopefully these deaths will lead to more being scared straight.

Robert De Niro is a leftist, open borders nut. He got what he wished for.

Yep. Playing with fire, it’s only a matter of time before being burned.

I assume Drena has a brother named Draino?

Drena De Niro, has alleged someone knowingly sold her son tainted drugs

I am sorry for her loss and I do sympathize with her. But if you have a child that messes with hard street drugs, something like this is going to happen. It wasn't some plot or conspiracy. It was just a matter of time.

“Taking any kind of illegal drugs you buy off the street is like playing Russian roulette.”

So many are concerned about ingredients in their food but yet never have a concern about these drugs or experimental vaccines.

He lost his grandson to the Uniparty’s open borders madness. This probably is rare for the mega rich celebs but here in rural Kentucky it’s a preventable tragedy that occurs many times each day.

Oh yeah, I am sure he will. Especially since the vast majority of the fentanyl is coming from ... oh yeah, China across the open border.
I cannot wait to hear the convoluted ‘reasoning’ they use to blame President Trump.

Drug dealers only sell to known clients......

Another tragic death of the offspring of Hollywood stars who use their influence to get their kids into the industry instead of colleges where they can get actual degrees and join the real world.

The Dinero family is willing to die for the principles they believe in. Open borders.

That is one of the reasons I stopped all serious “dabbling” in drugs back in the early 1980’s.
I’m thinking, this MJ could be sprayed or laced or tainted with any chemical. Nobody really knows, not even the person selling it.

If I got really sick from it, that person wouldn’t give a damn, and it probably would not effect his business day income at all. Not to mention, all the legal trouble I could get into, associating with these Low Lifes. The safest thing would be to stay away from such substances completely.
