UPDATE 8/30/21 2:30 P.M. PST: Sharon Stone’s nephew River has passed away. The actress revealed the tragic news on Instagram Monday by sharing an emotional montage video of the 11-month-old smiling on a bed. Sad music played in the background. She captioned the post:
“River William Stone Sept. 8, 2020 – Aug. 30, 2021”
River’s parents have yet to speak on his loss, and no more information has been released on what caused his “total organ failure” last week. On Thursday, his mother Tasha begged for prayers as her boy fought for his life in a coma. According to her Facebook post, doctors told her that even if he did wake up, he would “never be the same.” River was the youngest of three and the son of Sharon’s younger brother Patrick Stone.
Thinking of this family in this incredibly sad time. R.I.P.

Oof, this poor little boy!
Following the devastating news on social media, Sharon received an outpouring of kind words from other celebrities in the comments section. Kate Hudson shared that she was “sending light and healing love” alongside prayer emojis and a heart, while Ruby Rose commented:
“Praying for River and your whole family.”
Director Ava Duvernay shared her support as well, expressing:
“Holding you and your family in prayer.”
Former The Talk co-host Sharon Osbourne penned:
“Bless him sending so much love and prayer.”
Leslie Jordan also offered well wishes, saying:
“Stay strong little River. Sending you all my love and prayers.
In case you didn’t know, the kiddo was born in September 2020 and is the son of her younger brother, Patrick Stone. The godmother celebrated his arrival into the world in an IG post almost a year ago, writing at the time:
“Look who’s going home: River William Stone. My brother Patrick and his wife Tasha’s new baby.”
Sharon is also a momma to three sons of her own, Quin, Laird, and Roan. According to People, she previously spoke about how becoming a mother through adoption wasn’t an easy feat, saying:
“Motherhood didn’t come easily, but it came lovingly to me by angels. We’re a happy and lucky family. That is the credo we stand for. We have a choice about what we teach our children — we have to stand tall and say yes to love.”
It’s clear how much family means to Sharon.
We are sending all of the love and light to River and his family at the moment. We cannot imagine how scared they all must be while he is in the hospital fighting for his life. Here’s hoping the little one recovers and is safe in his bed soon.
