Drena De Niro's son Leandro De Niro Rodriguez has died, the actress — whose father is legendary actor Robert De Niro — shared on Instagram Sunday night.

In an emotional post, the 51-year-old actress wrote: “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. I don’t know how to live without you but I’ll try to go on and spread the love and light that you so made me feel in getting to be your mama. You were so deeply loved and appreciated and I wish that love alone could have saved you.

“I’m so sorry my baby," Drena — who did not share further details of Leandro's death — ended her tribute, also tagging Leandro's artist father, Carlos Mare. “Rest in Peace and Eternal Paradise my darling boy.”

“Drena — who did not share further details of Leandro’s death...”

From your link:

“a white powdery substance on a plate near his body, DailyMail.com can reveal.”

Hmmmmm 🤔

"Legendary"? De Niro had an amazing run in the 70s - Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Godfather Part II. In the 80s, his performance in Raging Bull was probably the best work of his career, and I actually enjoyed his work in King of Comedy. 90s...well, Goodfellas was not primarily his movie, but OK - it was still quality work. Casino - was getting tired of his shtick, kind of meh but whatever.

Since then, I can't think of a single movie he's done that stands out in any way. That's not legendary - one amazing performance in Raging Bull doesn't offset all the crap he's made for the last two decades.

I’ll toss in his performance as a creepy bad guy in 1991’s Cape Fear. Lotta good suspense in that one.

He was pretty amusing in “Joker” as that pompous arrogant idiot Murray Franklin.

Meet the Fockers was pretty funny. He’s done 135 movies. That’s quite a lot.

So, was there a hunter connection? I mean who else could access “a white powdery substance on a plate” enough to kill a person. Unless you’re hunter with a high tolerance for abuse of “a white powdery substance on a plate.... Just sayin’...

It just sounds like he had a drug addiction and overdosed....my step brother passed away last year under similar circumstances.......although not in a million dollar apartment.

Regardless.....very sad.

Yuup. 100k od’s in a year but............AR-15s are THE problem. Obvious there’s more money flowing to the legis-laters from drugs than guns.

Although I can’t stand DeNiro’s politics, my heart goes out to anyone who loses a grandchild so young.

Too bad it wasn’t Leandro’s dad who dropped dead.
