The apartment of Sage Stallone was found littered with large bottles of prescription painkillers and bags of white powder, when he was found dead last week.
The New York Post reports that police found more than fifty large bottles for pills, that can hold up to 30,000 pills. However, most of the bottles were mysteriously empty.
The source tells the paper that although labels had been removed, the bottles held hydrocodone, the generic form of Vicodin.
"They were strewn all over the house. A lot of the stuff was in the bedroom. This isn't the kind of amount of pills you would find in anyone's home."
"The coroner does not do criminal investigations, and passes on their findings to the authorities. But you could assume this would result in an investigation into how he obtained it," says the source.
Investigators also found "a significant number of packets of white powder all over the bedroom."
Meanwhile, the Chicago Tribune reports that the LAPD's robbery-homicide division is getting involved in the investigation of Sage's death. It's likely that the missing pills may have played a role in that decision.
Sylvester Stallone and his representatives have declined to comment on the development.
