Philip Seymour Hoffman, who won the Oscar for best actor in 2006 for his portrayal of writer Truman Capote in "Capote" and created a gallery of other vivid characters, many of them slovenly and slightly dissipated comic figures, was found dead Sunday in his Greenwich Village apartment with what law enforcement officials said was a syringe in his arm. He was 46.

RIP

Philip Seymour Hoffman dead at 46: Actor who played troubled characters so well had struggles of his own



The Academy Award-winning actor became a star through his complex film and stage roles, but the manner of his death suggests that Hoffman could relate to the tormented characters he played.

Philip Seymour Hoffman began his illustrious career with a small part in TV’s 'Law & Order.' Just 15 years later, he won a Best Actor Oscar for 'Capote.'

Philip Seymour Hoffman Cause of Death -- Massive Drug OD ... Heroin, Coke, Rx Meds
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Killed By Massive OD
Heroin, Coke, Rx Meds

EXCLUSIVE


Philip Seymour Hoffman was killed earlier this month by a deadly mixture of heroin, cocaine, and several other drugs -- this according to the NYC medical examiner.

The medical examiner just released the official cause of death -- listing "acute mixed drug intoxication" as the reason PSH passed away suddenly on February 2nd.

According to the medical examiner, the drugs in the actor's system at the time of his death were heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepines (anti-anxiety) and amphetamines (uppers like Adderall).

Mixing heroin and cocaine is often termed "speedballing." It's the same mixture that killed Chris Farley, River Phoenix, and John Belushi.

Elvis needed uppers in the mornings and downers to sleep. It's a vicious circle.

Seemed like he was a very tortured soul inside. It's still sad and devastating especially for those precious kids left behind. RIP PSH.

They found needles in his arm. Did they really need an autopsy? In other shocking news Kayne West acted like an ******* today.
