Robert De Niro’s grandson, Leandro De Niro Rodriguez, tragically passed away at 19 years old. In a statement, the iconic actor said, “I’m deeply distressed by the passing of my beloved grandson Leo. We’re greatly appreciative of the condolences from everyone. We ask that we please be given privacy to grieve our loss of Leo.”<\/p>\n

De Niro’s eldest daughter Drena De Niro, also expressed her grief in a statement, saying, “It is with immeasurable shock and sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved son Leo. We thank you for the outpouring of love and support and ask that we are given privacy at this time to process this inconsolable grief.” She added, “You were so deeply loved and appreciated, and I wish that love alone could have saved you.” Drena shared Leo with artist Carlos Mare.<\/p>\n

New York City police told The Associated Press that “an 18-year-old male was found unconscious, unresponsive and was pronounced deceased by EMS on the scene” at a Wall Street address that houses the Cipriani Club Residences. According to reports, Leo had only recently turned 19. The medical examiner’s office has yet to determine a cause of death.<\/p>\n
