Who Was Lory Del Santo’s Son, Loren Del Santo?

Loren Del Santo was born in June 1999. He is the son of Loredana “Lory” Del Santo. His mother is an Italian actress and model. His mother raised him as a single mother. Lory has never been married but she has been involved in several romantic relationships. She reportedly revealed that Loren’s father is Dennis Schaller, a German who never met his son. Lory said of Loren’s father:

“He knew I was pregnant. I hadn’t told him directly, but since the times coincided he knew it. When Loren was three years old, one day he walked into my office, suddenly, he said to me: “I heard you had a baby, I know it’s mine, I’d like to see him.” I am very generous, and I think it is always necessary to give opportunities.”

“Even if he could show up earlier. I told him: “Okay, but before that happens I want to talk to you.” I asked him for an appointment in Milan the next day, at the time he wanted.” Dennis never showed up at that appointment and didn’t even call her to inform her he wouldn’t come. Lory said she didn’t even expect him to help her financially.

Loren’s father was never seen or heard from again. “I didn’t even know where he was in the world,” Lory said. Lory once had an affair with English guitarist, singer, and songwriter Eric Clapton at the time he was still married. Lory and Eric’s affair contributed to the divorce between Eric and his then-wife English model and photographer Pattie Boyd.

Loren has a half-brother Conor Clapton from his mother’s affair with Eric. Unfortunately, on 20 March 1991, at the age of four and a half, Conor fell out of an open bedroom window on the 53rd floor of a Manhattan apartment building and died. Loren has another half-brother Devin Sardi from his mother’s relationship with film producer Silvio Sardi.

Loren’s maternal grandfather Antonio Del Santo died in a car accident when his daughter Lory (Loren’s mother) was just three. Loren lived and studied in Miami: “He’s fantastic,” his mother Lory said. “He makes me happy and always gets good marks at school.”

How Did Lory Del Santo’s Son Die?

Loren Del Santo killed himself. He committed suicide in August 2018 when he was 19 years old. According to his mother Lory in an interview, Loren was battling a congenital disease. “Loren’s death is also a problem of nature. He was by no means a frail boy. He had a congenital disease that developed over the years.”

“What we thought were characteristics of his personality were characteristics of his illness that I did not know about. Now I understand immediately who suffers from it. This thing did not affect him physically: he was an athlete, no defects, he has never seen a doctor .” In another interview, Lory said: “My son Loren has left us. He took his own life as the result of a serious brain disease.”

“Mental collapse caused his brain to ‘switch itself off’,” Loren’s mother Lory Del Santo said. “I have been torturing myself trying to imagine if anything could have been done to help him, but in cases like this there is not much that can be.” Lory added that she “only feel guilty about one thing: the last time I saw him I didn’t tell him I loved him instead of just kissing him. That’s all.”

Lory said: “I have been trying to get through this alone without talking to anyone. Without friends. Without being able to tell the truth. I am talking about it now to find some strength, to be strong. It’s time for me to get back on my feet. I have to meet people. They told me that bottling up my pain can only do me harm.”
