Sylvester Stallone's son has reportedly died of a drug overdose. He was 36.

Sage Stallone was found at his Studio City home on Friday morning (July 13) after he allegedly passed away following an overdose of pills, according to website TMZ.com.

Lawyer George Braunstein would only confirm the death, but said the cause was still under investigation.

He told website LATimes.com: ''We don't have any of the details. He wasn't depressed. He was thinking about getting married. He just had his whole life ahead of him.''

Paramedics were apparently called to the home and pronounced him dead at the scene.

Sources claim authorities are trying to determine if the death was intentional or accidental.

Sage famously made his film debut alongside his father in the 1990 movie Rocky 5—playing the role of Rocky's son, Robert Balboa.

He appeared as an actor in several movies, including some with his father, such as Daylight.

DEVASTATED. Sylvester is ''devastated'' about the death of Sage.

The actor's representative, Michelle Bega, released a statement saying: ''Sylvester Stallone is devastated and grief-stricken over the sudden loss of his son, Sage Stallone. His compassion and thoughts are with Sage's mother, Sasha. Sage was a very talented and wonderful young man. His loss will be felt forever.''

A family friend added that Sylvester is ''overwhelmed and stunned'' by the sudden death of his eldest son.

A source told website RadarOnline.com: ''This came completely out of the blue. Sylvester did not see this coming for one minute.

''Sage was healthy, and Sylvester thought he was doing really well, this came from a complete left field.

The insider added: ''Sylvester was very close to Sage and he is absolutely overwhelmed with grief by his death. He is totally stunned and still in a state of shock.''

He was Sylvester's son from his first marriage to Sasha Czack.

    Pep, parang di magandang basahin ang title.... I've read this article in other sites but the title is different... Kasi pag sinabi mong drug OD, what comes to mind is addict... Other sites just say "SS son dies at the age of..." or simply passed away.... I've read from some commentators sa ibang site na it was prescription pills not illegal drugs.... Anyway, RIP Sage Stallone.... To Sly, my condolences.....
