at his home in July
Sylvester Stallone's son Sage died
from natural causes due to a heart condition, the Los Angeles County Coroner
has ruled.
Sage Stallone was found dead at his
Hollywood home by an employee and a relative on 13 July.
Bottles of prescription pills were
found but it was not clear if they were connected with his death.
Officials said on Thursday that the
36-year-old died due to a condition that causes blockage of the arteries.
Toxicology results showed Stallone
had a only a small amount of the sedative hydrocodone in his body.
No other drugs were detected and the
death has been classified a natural death.
The actor and film director's sudden
death stunned his family and friends.
Sylvester Stallone's publicist
described him as "devastated and grief-stricken" and the actor
skipped several promotional events for his film The Expendables 2.
Sage Moonblood Stallone was the
oldest of Sylvester Stallone's children and co-starred with his father in two
films, Rocky V and Daylight.
He also became involved in
movie-making, directing a 2006 short, Vic, that was screened at the Palm
Springs Film Festival.
In 1996 the young Stallone
co-founded Grindhouse Releasing, a company dedicated to preserving and
promoting the B-movies and exploitation films of the 1970s and '80s.
Sylvester Stallone's spokeswoman
said the actor had no comment about the coroner's findings.
