And everyone is quoting police reports but really I don't think the LA police department is is releasing information so.

A lot of things when you have -- -- a a person like that are just.

History with them where you know we would go to film festivals together -- he finished a movie with -- Gallagher called -- which -- the Boston film festival and Palm Springs festival so we would.

-- -- -- fly places with them and he went to -- -- different innings as always.

Just a very articulate sensitive intelligent guy in and not a party animal in anyway so.

Sorry you're telling us that you don't suspect thought -- it is sort of depression or stuff suicide but you're also telling us that.

He died of natural who -- these suggesting foul play then.

No I'm not suggesting foul play I'm just suggesting that we none of us in the family doesn't know anonymous know exactly what took place.

I suppose -- toxicology reports will reveal all that but I do you know.

That the measure of this man was that he was a very good loving person loved by his friends and a hard working fellow -- loved his family so not.

In and out of a person -- goes to parties and waste of time he was he was doing things.

And I know that his father sly Stallone has released he went on Twitter and -- -- devastated.

Absolutely and that's why Europe it 340 LA time to -- to -- set the record straight.
