Investigators found huge, empty bottles — made for prescription pills — in Sage Moonblood’s home, triggering a probe into his potential drug dealing, according to published reports today.
Authorities hope to connect the bottles to doctors or pharmacies, in similar fashion to the probes of Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston’s deaths, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The celebrity gossip Web site TMZ, citing anonymous law enforcement sources, took it a step further, and reported that detectives are looking at a “likely scenario” that Sylvester Stallone’s son was dealing Vicodin.
Cops don’t believe the younger Stallone was taking the drugs himself, in part because he died at a “pudgy” 5-foot-7, 188 pounds — in stark contrast to the typical, rail-thin body type of junkies, TMZ said.
The 36-year-old Moonblood was found dead inside his LA home a week ago tomorrow.
Moonblood didn’t leave a suicide note and he doesn’t appear to be a victim of foul play, cops have said.
Investigators are looking at accidental overdose as possible cause of death.
RadarOnline reported that Moonblood’s funeral is set for Saturday.
“The funeral will be private and it will be family and friends only and will be celebration of his life,” a source close to the situation told the site.
Sage’s mom, actress Sasha Czack, told The Post earlier this week that he had five teeth taken out two weeks before his death and was in great discomfort from the radical procedure.
Coroners completed Stallone’s autopsy on Sunday but it’ll take weeks for results of crucial toxicology tests to come back.
Stallone’s lawyer could not be immediately reached for comment today.
Sage broke into movie playing the son of Rocky Balboa, played by his real dad. in the 1990 flick “Rocky V.”
He’s since dabbled in various acting, directing and producing ventures.
