Leonardo de Niro: Possible cause of death revealed of actor’s 19-year-old grandson

The possible cause of death of the 19-year-old grandson of Robert de Niro has been revealed, just days after his passing was announced publicly. The news came to light regarding the actor after an Instagram publication by his mother, Drena De Niro. Despite being so young, Leandro De Niro was an established actor, appearing in films such as ‘Cabaret’ and ‘A Star is Born’.

It is a premature death that has moved a lot of people, above all because the cause was unknown. However, TMZ have published that the actor could have died due to an overdose, saying that “law enforcement sources tell TMZ Leandro’s death is being investigated as an overdose. We’re told the teen was housesitting, and both drugs and drug paraphernalia were found near his body.”

An overdose is not the only possible explanation

The media outlet says that the investigation is still ongoing and that these substances may be what provoked the death of the young man, who was “found by a friend who hadn’t heard from him in a few days and was checking in on him”.

On the other hand, an overdose is not the only thing that is being talked about: Quien reports that his mother had told in a caption dedicated to Leandro De Niro that he had died after taking something mixed with fentanyl, writing “To the person who sold Leo, the fentanyl laced drugs that took him away from us I hope every day you will think of me and my family you killed us all.” It was a publication that was then changed to a lot of broken heart emojis as well as a crying face, a dove and praying hands.
