Headline: Drena De Niro claims her late son Leandro 'suffered tremendously'

Caption: On Tuesday, the New York City chief medical examiner's office confirmed the 19-year-old grandson of Robert De Niro died from an accidental drug overdose. Leandro's mother Drena took to Instagram on Wednesday and shared her anguish over the aspiring actor's drug use, which she claimed spiralled as a result of the Covid-19 restrictions. "My son suffered tremendously through the pandemic as maybe many of your kids had," Drena wrote in an emotional post. "Sadly addiction took over in the last year and eventually killed him."
