HarryCarter Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 This is a shocker! Philip Seymour Hoffman has been found dead. There aren't any details yet. He's the second Best Actor Oscar winner to die in the past two days. Award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead Sunday afternoon in his New York City apartment, a law-enforcement official said. The New York Police Department is investigating, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine exact cause of death. The official said Mr. Hoffman, 46 years old, was found dead at his apartment at 35 Bethune St. in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan. Mr. Hoffman won the Academy Award for Best Actor for the 2005 film, "Capote." http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304626804579358943360702878?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702304626804579358943360702878.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickee Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 So sad and odd. Just last night at a gathering, we were talking about the fact that major stars of today that have lost their lives to drugs (if this proves to be the case) or their addictions was just a sad state of affairs. These folks that we so admire have everything to give and live for yet cannot control their personal demons. How they get started and maintain or not is always the question. Apologies if this turns out not be the case, but if it is...it's just very very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 He was a drug addict. They found a needle stuck in his arm. Another Hollywood overdose. He'd been sober for over 20 years and then relapsed in 2012. It's very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Very sad indeed, terrific actor, anybody HIS SIZE who can portray tiny little Capote and make it all believable and then even winning the Oscar for the performance has to be great. Yes, drugs yet again, that's the saddest part, such a young man, 46, leaving us so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Well, here we go again, another link to homosexual/bisexual Hollywood. Seems his BOYFRIEND was the one who found the body. He, also, like Phillip, was married with kids, but he says the DRUG thing was because he did not know if he was gay, had a n affair with this guy, story in The Enquirer coming up, I know, who believes anything in that rag, but this is the boyfriend telling the story. He says Phil's wife called him when he did not pick up his kids at ten a m and he went to the apartment with his female assistant and they found him with a syringe still in his arm and the police found 70 packs of heroin all over the apartment. This was Sunday morning, they took out the body Sunday evening, and now, today, the autopsy has proved inconclusive so more tests will be needed. I think the boyfriend could have waited a while, as the family is grieving, to tell this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the writer in question denies giving the National Enquirer an interview and is planning to sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
