Robert De Niro’s 19-Year-Old Grandson Laid To Rest In Funeral Service

Robert De Niro and his loved ones are mourning the loss of his grandson, Leandro De Niro Rodriquez. The family was seen coming together for a funeral service on Saturday, in photos obtained by Page Six, nearly one week after they shared the news of his passing. The “Goodfellas” star’s daughter Drena De Niro claims that her son Leandro died after buying fentanyl-laced pills. The mother of the late 19-year-old weighed in on the circumstances surrounding his death in an Instagram comment. When a commenter asked how Leo died, Drena alleged in her reply, “Someone sold him fentanyl-laced pills that they knew were laced yet still sold them to him so for all these people still f—ing around selling and buying this s—, my son is gone forever.” The New York City Police Department told NBC News that Leandro had been found unconscious on July 2 in Manhattan and was pronounced dead at the scene. A coroner’s report specifying Leandro’s official cause of death has not yet been released.
