Testing It Up

Johnny Lewis, best known for his role in the FX original series Sons of Anarchy, was found dead in a driveway of a Los Feliz Home in Los Angeles from an apparent fall.

According to a CNN.com report, investigators believed that Lewis brutally killed his 81-year-old landlord, Katherine Davis, following an altercation on Wednesday before falling to his death to escape police.

On Thursday, a toxicology was conducted, but while police suspect that drugs were involved in the incident, LAPD Commander Andrew Smith said: “we don’t have any hard evidence that says he was on anything right now.”

“After ‘bath salts,’ new drugs are coming out all the time and young people try new drugs all the time,” Smith said. “That’s, of course, one of the things that our detectives are going to look into, whether he was using that or anything else.”

The Los Angeles Police did not mention the actor’s criminal history. Nonetheless, prior media reports cited Lewis’ chemical dependency and mental health issues. CNN managed to obtain records of two arrests in February on burglary and battery charges in Santa Monica, California, but no further details were available on the status of those cases.

On Friday, Sylvester Stallone’s 36-year old son, Sage Stallone, was found dead at his Los Angeles apartment. Law enforcement at the crime scene reportedly found numerous empty bottles of prescription drugs, resulting to speculations among Hollywood insiders that the action star’s son may have died due to drug overdose.

However, lawyer and close friend George Braunstein insist that Sage does not have a history of drug or alcohol abuse. “I never knew him to drink alcohol. I never saw him take drugs. I never knew of anything like that at all,” he told E! News.

“I’m going to wait to see what the coroner says. I think it was either natural causes or a terrible accident. I don’t think it had anything to do with drugs, he wasn’t that kind of guy. He wasn’t anyone trying to take his life,” Braunstein adds.

Sylvester Stallone, on the other hand, tells TMZ that he is devastated by the sudden demise of his son and wants “the speculation and questionable reporting” to stop.

TMZ latest report indicates that the death of Sage is now in the hands of LAPD Robbery Homicide detectives and it may probably take four weeks to know the real cause of death.
