He also ''begged'' for the memory and soul of Sage - who played the actor's onscreen son in 1990 movie 'Rocky V' - to be ''left in peace'' amid speculation of how he died.

He added: ''This loss will be felt for the rest of our lives. Sage was our first child and the centre of our universe and I am humbly begging for all to have my son's memory and soul left in peace.''
