On July 13, 2012, Sage was found dead in his apartment in Los Angeles.

Initially, there was speculation regarding drug abuse or suicide; however, his close friend and attorney, George Braunstein, refuted these allegations. Braunstein disclosed that Sage did not consume alcohol or use drugs, and the bottles found in his room, which were presumed to contain alcohol, actually held cream soda.

Suicide was also eliminated as a possibility, as Sage was in the midst of planning his wedding.

The reality was both tragic and unforeseen. Two weeks prior to his passing, Sage had undergone significant dental surgery, during which five teeth were extracted, and he was prescribed painkillers.

In spite of his mother Sasha Czack’s cautions regarding the risks associated with pain medications, Sage went ahead with the surgery. Ultimately, he succumbed to a fatal heart attack attributed to atherosclerosis, with painkillers present in his system, albeit not in overdose quantities.

Stallone, devastated, referred to Sage as “the center of our universe.” He sought solace in his work and family, drawing strength from his daughters Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet, as well as his son Seargeoh, who maintains a private existence.

Sage’s premature death serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the necessity of valuing our loved ones.
