The cause of death was not specified, the boy was found dead. Leandro De Niro Rodriguez was 19 years old and, like his mother, wanted to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and work in cinema. “I lost my sweet angel,” said Drena. “My beautiful, sweet angel. I have loved you beyond words since I felt you in my stomach. I wish I was with you now.” Drena said in his message that the boy was “deeply loved and cherished,” adding, “I wish only love could have saved you.” No comment came from Carlos Mare, Leandro’s father, who took to Instagram to express his pain by posting a picture of a black but speechless box. Just a few days ago, De Niro announced that at the age of almost 80 he had become a father for the seventh time.
