Man this sucks, but as stated he had issues with drugs in the past so it's plausible.

Really sad, he was great.

 

[triplestation]

what the FUCK?

 

[Buddha Beam]

Holy fuck.

 

[duckroll]

Ugh. Sad.

 

[Keyser Soze]

For some reason, I always remember him in Twister...

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Woah

 

[Yen]

I'm devastated.

WSJ Article

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."

Genuinely said "no way" when I googled his name to confirm he was who I thought he was. Will be interesting to see how they spin this in the Hunger Game trilogy.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Oh wow - did he have health issues?

Shit. :/

 

[Narag]

EDIT: In fact, can we get that site added to the list of banned sites? I think having it show up in asterisks would help stomp out this stupid thing.

That'd be nice especially after the pages of it coming up when Paul Walker died.

 

[Backfoggen]

Wow what the hell
Rip

 

[dorkimoe]

what the fuck

 

[BocoDragon]

Oh no the man was an amazing talent.

Dat Master

 

[James Woods]

Not doubting you but source? I never knew he did drugs.

Still having trouble believing it, as somebody else said I'm not usually bothered by celebrity deaths (any more than any death) but man I like PSH

He went to rehab for heroin addiction recently.

[HeisenbergLannister]

Nooooo.

 

[Weapxn]

Drugs, I'm guessing. Probably picked 'em back up again. He did seem to return to work awfully quickly after his addiction became public and he went to rehab.

 

[Robot Pants]

For some reason, I always remember him in Twister...

Me too.
This news is the suck zone.
He really was one of the absolute best.

 

[Seven Force]

Whoa, what the hell.

RIP

 

[bishopp35]

I liked his movies

How old was he? Late 40s? possible heart attack?


Was he a known drug user?

He was 45, last year he went to rehab because of heroin.

So it's true? Terrible loss for cinema.
A damn fine actor.

[Talon]

That's horrible. RIP

 

[Lashley]

[GK86]

RIP Mr. Hoffman.

 

[zoozilla]

This cannot fucking....what?

If this is true, I don't know what to say.

One of the best actors working today, for sure.

 

[EdibleKnife]

RIP Hoffman was a fantastic actor

Damn that is such a bummer. Thanks for the link. Again, thoughts go out to his people.

 

[Van Owen]

One of the greatest actors of our time.

 

[Protein]

No no no no what the fuck??????!!!

 

[davepoobond]

What!!!!


He was supposedly directing a movie or something wasn't he? I can't believe that he is dead

 

[blame space]

can we not opine on the cause of his death? it's too morbid.

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Holy shit. This is so fucking unexpected.

RIP.

heroin

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Wow. Unexpected piece of sad news. I really respected him as an actor. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

What? Is death worse if it's caused by drugs?

Since he just went into rehab for HEROIN addiction, I'd rather this be something other than the all too common drug overdose shit.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

I don't know what to say. He was one of my favourite actors.
Rest in peace.

Tonight's Synechdoche, New York.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Oh my fucking god.

Literally one of the best actors to ever set foot on this planet. God damn.

RIP

 

[Smellycat]

That is crazy, so there was a rumor about him dying 2 days ago that was false, and now he is actually dead.

Reminds me of the Paul Walker death rumor, and him dying a week later.

 

[John Kowalski]

Fuck... not him

I can't even accept this. Fuck, this week will be hard.

 

[Marvel]

Always remember him from Capote. Aw shit...

 

[BLACKLAC]

This sucks.

 

[V_Ben]

What the fuck, horrible. Way too young.

 

[Smelly Tramp]

why is it that the best actors always have drug problems?

fuck man, i love this guy.

 

[Maximus.]

Wow was such a great actor....

 

[Nokterian]

I am in shock..to young and a terrific actor! RIP

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

Hopefully it's not true. Only one site is reporting it? WSJ
