Sylvester Stallone isn't leaving any stone unturned in figuring out what led to the tragic death of his son Sage Moonblood.
The action star has hired famed private investigator Scott Ross to do some digging and find out what, if anything, was troubling his 36-year-old filmmaker son prior to his death, according to TMZ.
Sage's lifeless body was found in his Hollywood Hills apartment last Friday, surrounded by "huge" empty prescription pill bottles and cans.
A law enforcement source tells TMZ that there were "more than 60 gigantic bottles, like the ones in pharmacies."
Additionally, new details have emerged that "several little baggies" of white powder were discovered in Sage's bedroom.
The powder is currently being tested - and, a police official says, could possibly be co***ne or Vicodin.

Police officials at the scene of the crime at the time said that the death was most likely an accident since no su***de note was found, and foul play was not suspected.
According to TMZ, however, the elder Stallone has since taken a different stance and is now no longer ruling out foul play, though there is currently no evidence to back those suspicions.
On Tuesday, Ross met with the actor, his brother Frank and an official from the L.A. County Coroner's Office to discuss the next steps in the investigation, TMZ reports.

The P.I. has reportedly worked with the Stallone family before, a large part of the reason why the actor hired him in the first place.
Ross has also helmed a number of other high-profile celebrity cases, such as the Michael Jackson molestation case and the Chris Brown/Rihanna assault case from 2009.
According to reports, Sage's mother, Sasha Czack, has her own theories.

She believes an accidental overdose on painkillers from her son's recent dental surgery may have led to his untimely death.
The filmmaker reportedly had five teeth pulled at the same time just two weeks prior to his death, a decision that Czack says she warned him not to make.
An autopsy on Sage's body was completed Sunday, but it may take anywhere from four to six weeks for results of a toxicology test to be revealed.
