[surfsatwerk]

also being reported by the nypost, though no official official statements yet -- http://nypost.com/2014/02/02/philip-seymour-hoffman-found-dead-in-his-apartment/

 

[KidNiki1]

i always liked him.

 

[Kadarin]

 

[nageov3t]

NYPost and twitter are suggesting that it was a heroin overdose.

 

[allisolm]

Only 46. Appears to be drugs. If so, sad such a talent had to be wasted that way. CNN says he was found with a needle in one arm.

 

[KLin]

So who's going to play Plutarch in the last 2 hunger games movies?

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Very sad - he was a great talent. If memory serves he was in rehab recently, which does suggest this was likely a drug related death.

 

[Mixolydian]

He was great in Twister.

RIP.

 

[Thebobo]

Every one is dying (

 

[Kaido]

May the odds be ever in his favor

I was never a big fan, but I did like him in the Hunger Games 2 and in Along Came Polly...

"You mean you're doing an E! True Hollywood Story on yourself?" :biggrin:

enjoyed his work..take notice druggies / dopers / drunks. You could be next to be found dead on the floor.. after a saturday night of "partying".

CNN is reporting drug overdose as well...which is even more unfortunate since he apparently has two daughters under the age of 10...

That's what makes me upset...like, Heath Ledger did an amazing performance as the Joker and then overdoses. Although his was apparently prescription medicine abuse; Wikipedia says it was a combination of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine (holy crap!). But anyway...a lot of these people have little kids, great careers, do meaningful work, and then up & die from drugs. I'm not sure if they just get stuck on the party circuit or take it to deal with the stresses & pressures of the celebrity life or what, but it stinks when we lose talented people too early, especially from bad choices they've made

 

[Homerboy]

He was found on the bathroom floor with a needle in his arm. Pretty sure it wasn't insulin.

Bummer of a loss, but if you're dumb enough to play with fire, you're going to get burned eventually.

My guess is that they have a lot of free time and more than enough money to do the drug or drugs of their choice. I keep reading small articles here and there about a Heroin epidemic. Not good...

 

[biostud]

Damn, a great actor.
