Sylvester Stallone’s Tragic Loss of Son Sage
Losing a child is “an unspeakable predicament,” and Sylvester Stallone knows this pain firsthand. In 2012, he tragically lost his first-born, Sage Stallone, at just 36 years old.
Before his passing, Sage’s mother, Sasha Czack, had urged him to avoid a major dental surgery. When he died, theories swirled—“everything from drugs, to alcohol, to suicide”—but the truth was even more heartbreaking.
Stallone himself had a tough start. A birth injury left him with his signature “snarl,” shaping both his struggles and his legendary “Rocky Balboa” persona.
