NYPD is supposedly starting an investigation.

Word is floating around that it was a probable overdose.

That's usually the case, unfortunately.

Yeah, they found him with a needle still in his arm.

RIP, hope it was worth it.

TMZ and others are saying he was found with a needle in his arm.

Philip Seymour Hoffman found dead with needle in arm: cops

Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead of an apparent drug overdose — in the bathroom with a hypodermic needle still in his arm — inside a Greenwich Village home on Sunday morning, cops said.

A personal assistant found Hoffman’s body in an apartment at 35 Bethune St. and called 911 around 11:30 a.m, sources said.

Cops are at the scene and are investigating, sources said.

In 2006, Hoffman publicly admitted that he nearly succumbed to substance abuse graduating from NYU’s drama school, but got sober in rehab.

“It was all that (drugs and alcohol), yeah. It was anything I could get my hands on…I liked it all,” he told “60 Minutes” as the time.

Last year, Hoffman reportedly checked himself into rehab again for ten days after relapsing in 2012.

TMZ said he began using prescription pills, then snorted heroin for about a week before realizing he needed help.

Wow. Great actor.

This could completely fuck the Hunger Games franchise.

I haven't watched or read, but I'm assuming he has a fairly big part in it.

I kind of thought that as well.

goddammit.

Had a lot of talent.

Very unfortunate. RIP

He was one of those guys that was good in everything even if the movie wasn't.

Too bad.
