Robert De Niro's 18-year-old grandson Leandro was found dead on Sunday afternoon with a white powdery substance on a plate near his body, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Leandro was the son of De Niro's adopted daughter Drena, 51, and artist Carlos Rodriguez. On Sunday, Drena announced his death on Instagram, saying: 'I wish that love alone could have saved you.'
Aspiring actor and director Leandro was following in his mother and grandfather's career footsteps, landed a small role in 2018's A Star Is Born as the son of Bradley Cooper's best friend, George 'Noodles' Stone, played by Dave Chappelle. He also appeared in Cabaret Maxime in 2018.
The teenager was found dead sitting in a chair in a $950,000, one-bedroom apartment in the Cipriani Club Residences on Wall Street.
A police source tells DailyMail.com the substance was found near his body and there were no signs of trauma. He was found by a friend who hadn't heard from him in a few days and was checking in on him, a police source told TMZ.
Both of his parents paid tribute to him on Instagram on Sunday night.
His father, Carlos, said in a post: 'Words aren't enough to express the joy he gave us or the loss we now endure with our families and friends. He is God's child now. On this full moon his spirit luminates what could not be seen in the dark.'
Drena's post began: 'My beautiful sweet angel. I have loved you beyond words or description from the moment I felt you in my belly.
'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.'

Tragedy brought on by poor choices and probably poor parenting. His grandpa was all “F- Trump, F- Trump!”. No mentorship whatsoever.
And DeNiro will be blaming Donald Trump.
Addiction is a nasty thing. It strikes all colors, economic classes, and education.
I am sorry to hear about anyone dying like this.
But, there is a saying that has been going around lately: “F around and find out.” Fentanyl will kill you out of the blue because these dealers are not chemists. They are morons. You F around with this stuff and you WILL find this out.
If he were checking his privilege like his virtue signaling grandpa gets credit for, he'd be found dead, sitting in a worn out chair covered with cockroaches, in a gang infested housing project.
Fetanyl or cocaine, most likely. Possibly heroin, because these children will use whatever drug somebody places before them.
These are the same people who only eat organic this, and no meat, or cheese. Because they know what they put into their bodies is important.
Then they snort some powder (or inject it into their bodies) that they have no idea the source or what’s in it.
say hello to my little friend... oh wait that's the other Italian mafioso Pacino.
Eating a whole plate of powdered donuts can **** you up.
I read an article that most illegal drugs all have some fentanyl, maybe lack of quality control or on purpose. The result is the same.
I wish I had a father as well of as De Niro. I would have valued the opportunity to be tutored as far as a tutor can be found, to a doctorate degree if necessary.
But I know better than to think I could be that responsible.
I suspect that he’s out of God’s reach.
Rip young man…
Some really revolting comments on this thread.
Prayers for his soul and for his grieving family. No parent should have to bury a child or grandchild. I enjoy Robert De Niro’s acting very much, disagree with his politics and am sending a virtual hug of comfort in this terrible time of grief and frustration for them.
“The teenager’s lifeless body was found sitting in a chair inside a $950,000, one-bedroom apartment in the Cipriani Club Residences on Wall Street. “
I can’t even…
White privilege…
He means Trump supporters....That means you!
Yeah, there are. They are just projecting their hatred for this kid's grandfather onto the kid. I will say that I have no sympathy for someone who has everything in the world handed to them and then basically commits suicide, but that doesn't mean I'll rub it in and just be mean about it.
Maybe suicide.? Lots of suicide there. Those folks don't like themselves very much...
Uh oh... This tragedy is likely to turn his grandpa into an ugly, dour, angry, bitter old man. </s>
Another child of a leftist...dead.
