The cause of death of Robert De Niro’s grandson appears to have been confirmed by his grieving mother.
Drena De Niro, who revealed her son had died suddenly earlier this week (July 3), has now posted a comment about Leandro De Niro Rodriguez’s cause of death on Instagram.
Leo, as he was affectionally known, was aged just 19 when he died.
His father, artist Carlos Mare, shared an all-black screen shot signalling his grief following his death. Hollywood actor Robert has also broken his silence, revealing he’s “deeply distressed”. The whole family were also seen at a funeral parlour this week, with Drena confirming they had “said goodbye” to Leandro.

Leandro’s mother Drena paid tribute to her son in an Instagram post earlier this week. Alongside a picture of him on the red carpet, she said: “My beautiful sweet angel. I have loved you beyond words or description from the moment I felt you in my belly.
Someone sold him fentanyl-laced pills that they knew were laced yet still sold them to him.
“You have been my joy my heart and all that was ever pure and real in my life. I wish I was with you right now. I wish I was with you.” She then added: “”
