Sylvester Stallone's son, Sage Stallone, died from heart disease, it has been found.
His cause of death was announced by the Los Angeles County coroner yesterday, following Stallone's untimely passing earlier this summer. After conducting an autopsy and full toxicology screen, the coroner cited atherosclerotic coronary artery disease as the cause. He also added that the drug test was negative except for a small "sub-therapeutic" level of hydrocodone, more commonly known as Vicodin. The full report is expected next week. Following his son's death, Sylvester Stallone said: "It's very, very tough. It's a horrible situation, but time hopefully will heal, and you try to get through it." SOURCE: PEOPLE

Sage Stallone's mother has claimed that her son's death was the result of dental surgery.
Sasha Czack, Sylvester Stallone's first wife, told the New York Post that her son was on painkillers after having five teeth removed two weeks before his death.
"I told him not to do that. I've heard about people dying having multiple procedures done to your mouth. Do not have more than one tooth [pulled]," she said.
The results of Sage's autopsy have been deferred until a full toxicology report has been completed.
His funeral will be held on Saturday 21 July. On Monday 16 July, Sylvester released a statement calling for an end to the "speculation and questionable reporting" surrounding Sage's passing.
"When a parent loses a child there is no greater pain," he said. "Therefore, I am imploring people to respect my talented son's memory and feel compassion for his loving mother, Sasha. "This agonizing loss will be felt for the rest of our lives. Sage was our first child and the centre of our universe, and I am humbly begging for all to have my son's memory and soul left in peace."
