Philip Seymour Hoffman, a renowned actor in Hollywood was found dead yesterday at his apartment in Manhattan. Hoffman was 46 and had won the academy award for his biographical portrayal in 'Capote'.
Police has suspected a drug overdose causing the death of the actor, an investigating officer reported Reuters that they did find Hoffman on the bathroom floor with a syringe in one hand and a plastic bag of drugs suspected to be Heroin.
The actor is survived by 3 children to his partner Mimi O'Donnell.
"We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone," Hoffman's family said in a statement issued through his publicist.
"This is a tragic and sudden loss and we ask that you respect our privacy during this time of grieving. Please keep Phil in your thoughts and prayers," it added. A representative said the family would not make any further statements for now.
CNN, citing a law enforcement official, reported that Hoffman was last seen alive at 8 p.m. Saturday. He had been expected to pick up his children on Sunday but failed to show up, prompting playwright David Katz and another person to go to his apartment, where they found him dead, CNN said.
Hoffman spoke in the past of struggling with drugs, including a 2006 interview in which he told CBS he had abused "anything I could get my hands on. I liked it all."
Born in upstate New York near Rochester, Hoffman won the Best Actor Oscar for the 2005 biographical film "Capote," in which he played writer Truman Capote. He also received three Academy Award nominations as best supporting actor, for "The Master" in 2013, "Doubt" in 2009 and "Charlie Wilson's War" in 2008.
May his soul rest in peace.
