Sylvester Stallone (Tulsa King): the tragedy of his life, the death of his son Sage

Sylvester Stallone has continued to make appearances on the small and big screen for several years. However, most are unaware that the actor experienced a terrible tragedy in 2012: the death of Sage, his son, at the age of 36.

Sylvester Stallone makes his comeback on the small screen with Tulsa Kinga series broadcast this Wednesday October 15 on M6where he plays Dwight The General Manfredi, a New York mafia capo who, after serving a 25-year prison sentence, is exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, by his own clan. Far from his bases, the main character decides to rebuild a criminal empire with unlikely allies.

This appearance of Sylvester Stallone in a new fiction is an opportunity to discuss the actor’s family life. In 2012, he experienced the biggest tragedy of his life: the tragic disappearance of Sage Stallone, his 36-year-old son.

“When a parent loses a child, there is no greater pain. Therefore, I implore everyone to respect the memory of my talented son and show compassion for his mother Sasha”, said Sylvester Stallone, father of five, following the death of his son Sage in 2012.

It was July 13, 2012 when the lifeless body of Sage Stallone was found in his house in Hollywood. If the first rumors suggested that the thirty-year-old died of an overdose, the autopsy quickly established the truth. Indeed, the one who played the role of Rocky Balboa’s son in Rocky 5 died of heart failure (coronary atherosclerosis) which was allegedly aggravated by his cigarette smoking. The autopsy also noted the presence of a opioid analgesic in his body.

If the death of Sage Stallone was a tragedy in the life of his father Sylvester, it was just as much for Sasha Czack, his mother, first wife of the Rambo interpreter. Especially since it was the latter who found the lifeless body of her eldest son at her home, near “three to four days” after the tragedy, according to information from TMZ of the time. In addition to his parents, Sage Stallone left behind Seargeoh, his little brother, as well as Scarlett, Sistine and Sophia, his three half-sisters, daughters of Jennifer Flavin.
