Sylvester Stallone son found dead of overdose .

Sylvester Stallone's 36 year old son Sage was found dead of a suspected prescription drug overdose.

Prescription pill bottles were found at the scene of Sage Stallone's death, but law enforcement sources tell RadarOnline.comexclusively that it does not appear the 36-year-old committed suicide.
As previously reported, Sylvester Stallone's oldest son was discovered unresponsive at his Studio City home Friday, dead from an apparent drug overdose.
The source tells Radar that a 9-1-1 call was placed shortly before 3pm. The caller said Sage wasn't breathing at all and indicated it could be a drug overdose.
Medics arrived on the scene at 3.05 pm and they worked on trying to revive Sage for approximately twenty-five minutes before the time of death was pronounced.
Sage wasn't taken to the hospital, instead the Coroner was called and his body was taken straight to the Coroner's office.
"I suspect he had been dead for quite a while when he was discovered," the source tells RadarOnline.com. "Usually medics will be at the scene for around forty-five minutes but they were out of there within half an hour.
"There were a number of prescription bottles found at the scene but it did not appear to be suicide and no note was found."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, a close friend of Sage's said the actor appeared to be "healthy and upbeat" when he met up with him just two weeks ago. "I saw him two weeks ago and he seemed great," the friend said. "He was healthy and upbeat and didn't seem depressed at all.
"I never knew him to do drugs, not even weed, so for him to die from an overdose is kind of shocking to me."
