No other drugs surfaced in the toxicology report.Sage Stallones body was found in his Hollywood Hills home after family and friends became concerned when they hadnt heard from him for a day. A housekeeper went to check, found his body and called police, according to his lawyer, George Braunstein.At the time, police said there was no sign of foul play, but speculation quickly surfaced in the tabloid media of a possible drug overdose.Sage Stallone was the younger of two sons from the Rocky and Rambo actors first marriage to Sasha Czack, whom he divorced in 1985 after about 10 years of marriage.He had appeared in a number of films, most notably with his father in 1990s Rocky V, playing the title characters son, Rocky Balboa Jr., and in the 1996 disaster movie Daylight, in which Sylvester Stallone starred as a hero leading an escape from a New York tunnel collapse.
