Sage Stallone killed by heart attack, says coroner

Father and son ... Sage and Sly Stallone many years ago

SYLVESTER Stallone's son Sage died from natural causes due to a heart condition, it has been confirmed.

The 36-year-old, from Sly's first marriage to Sasha Czack, was found dead at his Hollywood apartment on July 13.
Despite earlier allegations of drug use, none were found in his system at the time of death, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner.
Officials said on Thursday that Sage passed away due to a condition that causes blockage of the arteries.
A source told TMZ, it was "unusual" for a person Sage's age to have such advanced coronary problems.
An initial autopsy on Sage's body proved inconclusive.

Back to work ... Sylvester Stallone made it to the Expendables 2 premiere in London earlier this month

Following Sage's tragic passing, Sly was left "devastated" and "grief-stricken" by his loss and missed several promotional events for his film The Expendables 2.
He said: "When a parent loses a child, there is no greater pain.
"Therefore I am imploring people to respect my talented son's memory and feel compassion for his loving mother, Sasha."
He also "begged" for the memory and soul of Sage – who played the actor's on-screen 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. I am humbly begging for all to have my son's memory and soul left in peace."
Earlier this week, Sly, who made it to the London premiere of the Expendables 2 earlier this month, was rocked by another family tragedy when his half-sister died.
Toni Ann Filiti lost her battle with lung cancer at their mum Jackie’s Santa Monica, California, home on Sunday. She was 48.

Sex change cop wants job back

Candidate ... Karen Gale wants to rejoin the Met Police

A FORMER cop who was made to quit the force after announcing he would undergo a sex change is hoping to return to the beat — as a POLICEWOMAN.

Karen Gale, 52 — formerly called Keith — was filmed having surgery as part of the Channel 4 series My Transsexual Summer.
When Keith, as a 26-year-old man, told his Metropolitan Police boss he wanted to become a policewoman, he was told he would have to resign.
More than two decades later, ex-officer Karen believes society is more tolerant of transsexuals and has applied to the Met to become a special constable.
Karen, from Purfleet, Essex, said: “I never thought they would allow gay, lesbian and transgender people in the police force, but things have really changed.
“I would love to get back in the force and I feel that I could help to make things better for other people.”
Karen was a constable in Romford for four years when her wife came home and found her dressed in women’s clothes.
After confessing her urge to live as a woman, Karen’s police bosses were adamant she had to leave. She had her surgery on the NHS last August.
Now she has attended a course run by the Met’s Transgender Team and decided to reapply after talking to transgender friends who have become officers.
Karen, who has a grown-up daughter, has to wait two months before learning if her application has been successful.
She said: “The Eighties was a bit of a rough time in the police force. There were riots, the miners’ strike and lots happening, but I just loved working as a police officer.
“A lot has changed since then and I will have to undergo the training again, but it would just be good.”

Woman, 38, faces jail for sex with underage lad Predatory Marie Friendship could get 14 years

Pleaded guilty ... Marie Friendship

A BRISTOL woman is facing jail after admitting to seducing a teenage boy.

Marie Friendship, 38, could get up to 14 years behind bars after forcing herself on the lad.
She faced eight charges of having sexual activity with a child, pleading guilty to one that was accepted by prosecutors.
Friendship was told to register as a sex offender, while the judge adjourned sentencing for reports.
She had a sexual relationship with the boy — who cannot be named for legal reasons — between 1 July 2011 and 12 February this year, the court was told.
The news comes the day after married teacher Emma Webb was found guilty of giving sexual favours to three boy pupils aged between 15 and 17.
Prosecutor Richard Posner said the Crown would consider applying for a Sexual Offences Prevention Order to stop Friendship contacting her victim in the future.
Robert Duval, defending, said: “This is a serious offence and I accept that is the case.
“We would like to have a pre-sentence report. This is a lady of previous good character.”
Friendship, from Whitchurch, Bristol, was bailed by the city’s crown court ahead of her sentencing on 21 September.
The Recorder of Bristol Judge Neil Ford QC told her: “The fact I am adjourning the case for a pre-sentence report is no indication of the sentence imposed on you in due course.
“The fact you have been given bail is no indication of the sentence.”
Friendship, who cites Harry Potter and David Beckham as "likes" on her Facebook page, is listed as being in a relationship on the social networking site.

Man Who Raped another Man Pleads he was drunk

Bestwood Chuckwuemeka, a 28-year-old man who was arraigned on Monday at a Magistrates Court in Abuja for sodomy has pleaded that he committed the crime under the influence of alcohol.

According to the police prosecutor, Cpl. Umar Mohammed, on August 8, a man from Gidan Mangoro, Abuja, reported to the divisional headquarters, Karshi, Abuja, of the alleged rape by the accused person. Mohammed said that the accused had sexual intercourse with the complainant on his bed when the complainant was fast asleep. This, the prosecutor said, was contrary to section 284 of the Penal Code.

However, in his response to the charges, when the charge sheet was read out, the accused pleaded not guilty. He said “I came back drunk from the night club and thought I was sleeping on the same bed with my girl-friend and I started romancing her.”

But the Magistrate, Nafisat Buba, said that alcohol should not be seen as an excuse for committing the offence, “Despite being under the influence of alcohol, the accused should not use that as an excuse to commit the crime,” she said. She however granted the accused bail in the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum, saying that one of the sureties must be a civil servant on GL 09. The case was then adjourned till September 17 for further hearing.

‘Refunding money doesn’t acquit indicted oil marketers’

Coordinating Minister for the economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

Prominent lawyers have said oil marketers refund of subsidy funds fraudulently received does not exonerate them as they were indicted in the fuel subsidy scam probe.

In separate interviews with SUNDAY PUNCH, the lawyers said the action was rather an admission of guilt and should make the case against the marketers easier to prosecute.

Last Thursday, at a press briefing after the National Economic Council in Abuja, the Anambra State Governor, Mr. Peter Obi, said a report submitted to members by Minister of Finance,

Veteran actor Olu Jacobs and star actress, Funke Akindele Oloyede have been nominated. Nominated for the Best Actor award, Olu Jacob’s role in the film, Adesuwa definitely worked in his favour. Also nominated in the same category were Joseph Benjamin, and John Dumelo. Funke Akindele was nominated for the Best Actress award, along with Monalisa Chinda, and Nadia Buari. Also nominated for awards were Nse Ikpe-Etim, and Martha Ankomah, who were both nominated for the Best Supporting Actress award.

ZAFAA is an African pride just as the OSCAR and BAFTA are America and British pride.

“ZAFAA has made Nollywood, Ghollywood and other African filmmakers a huge industry to reckon with. Our culture remains our pride and there is no better place to celebrate this than the International and Economic City of London. This year, ZAFAA goes to the heart of London.
