I just saw this as posted by the Tim Samaras/Twistex FB page since he was in the movie Twister. WSJ updated about 10 minutes ago, and I can't find any other place that's saying he's dead yet.

It is breaking news on the NY Daily News now too.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman was found dead Sunday in a New York City apartment of a reported drug overdose.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the actor was found Sunday morning inside of his Greenwich apartment ... and they're still on scene investigating.

Details surrounding his death are unclear ... but the actor had struggled with drug problems ... most recently checking himself into a rehab facility for heroin back in May.

As we previously reported ... Hoffman had been clean for 23 years but fell off the wagon in 2012.

Story developing ...

I just saw this and was coming here to post it but someone beat me to it. That's terrible! He was a really good actor.

[SheeBee]

This one shocked me. Wow.

[Domino]

There's already a post.

[Mcafgr]

Couldn't control those demons.......such a shame RIP.

[lulubaines]

Don't do drugs, kids. RIP

[Domino]

There's already a thread.

So how had Keith Richards stayed alive for so long?

[ajlposh]

There's three. They all must have been posted at literally the same time.

[mel306]

He has been clean for 23 years at one point. Wow Usually if you get that far, it has to be something really big to set you back.

[RiotBoots]

well.. fuck..

[Frisco Kid]

Breaking news.

[PiggyTx]

really sad right now. geez.

[Trilby]

Fuck...such a fantastic actor and so many more great roles in him. I was hooked on watching him when I first saw 'The Talented Mr Ripley' back in the '90s. Such a loss.

The Stone's should leave their bodies to science. Sad. R.I.P.

[mel306]

Interesting:
Beat Heath Ledger for an Academy Award for Best Actor in 2005 for his title role inCapote (2005), and then lost to the late actor for the Best Supporting Actor in 2008 to Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight (2008).

[In a Sea of Sorrow]

I adored him "Flawless". Such a damn shame. I am really sad about this one.

[beep]

Atleast he died doing what he loved. Better than getting hit by a bus.

Absolutely loved his work in The Big Lebowski.

[Dangitbawb]

Wow... 3 threads AT the same exact time! You FAD hags are on it! A friend just told me he was found with the needle still in his arm, but I don't know how she knew that. Every year we suffer the loss of someone who had everything going for them, yet give it all away due to what ever internal demons they are battling. Another big loss

[DrDeath]

Yeah I posted mine a few seconds before the others. Shit happens

It does, and look on the bright side. At least you posted in the right category.

[john*thomas]

He was one of the few actors I actually liked. Now I have to remember him as a moron.

[NewEnglander]

I only knew him from playing Joseph Plum Martin in Liberty. What a shame.

[DrDeath]

[artymorty]

Forty six ? still loads of a great career ahead of him .Said he was found with a needle sticking out of his arm ,surrounded by heroin .Whatever made him go back to his habit must have been awful. R.I.P . P.S.H.

[Ilmatar]

Fucking hell. Loved his work. :/

[DrDeath]

Just noting he had two daughters and a son with his long time partner. Maybe it was his genius as Capote, I always thought he batted for the other side..... Makes it even sadder. I did see him interviewed (well speaking at the London Film Institute) last year and I thought then he was either ridiculously nervous and ill at ease or on drugs. I leaned towards the latter the longer it went on......

[TheDude]

Id love to get you on a slow boat to China.....

We all make stupid decisions. It doesn't mean we're morons. We're human.

[john*thomas]

My opinion. He seemed to be making the same stupid decision over and over and with three kids IMO that's moronic. Once? Twice? Over and over? There is a difference.

[tamiele]

He was a great actor. I always liked him in whatever he did. He could play cruel and indifferent very well - as well as goofball. Regardless, why do people even start with the drugs? Especially people in the entertainment business. Drug and alcohol abuse has claimed so many of them.

[tuesdays_jupiter]

He was an outstanding actor. I hate that we won't get to see him repeat his Oscar win. My favorite roles of his are from Cold Mountain and Pirate Radio.

[desertangel]

Dang, that's too bad. I thought he was a great actor. Wonder what happened to make him fall off?! That's even more tragic. I'm a firm believer that past the age of 40, drug and alcohol use need to be seriously curtailed, particularly if one was a user earlier in life. But the Stones? Makes me wonder if tales of their on-going drug use are more urban legend than reality. Then there's my great aunt... Chained Lucky Strikes and Smirnoff until they put her in the home, then dead with the year at 90.

[homesgirl]

Loved him. He was good in everything he did. I thought he was brilliant in "Capote," and he was always good in those independent films such as "State and Main." I'll miss his quality work.

[Desert Ghost]

What a waste. I feel sorry for his kids and family.

[Trilby]

I just wonder if he was a victim of this:

[Wendy A.]

Fuck!! No!! He's one of my favorite actors! I knew he had drug problems, I really wanted to see him clean up for his children. This is heartbreaking.

[atomicbettie]

Noooooooo!!! I hated to see this here!! I know he had been clean for a long long time and went into rehab after a brief slip up last year. What a shame. I first saw him in Boogie Nights and enjoyed him in many things since. This is really too bad. RIP.

Good God! Like Fentanyl or Heroin need any help. I mean just how high do you want to be that you'd mix those 2? I guess they figure death is the ultimate high.

[DrDeath]

Sources saying an envelope was found with him in the bathroom.....surely this wasn't an intentional OD? One would hope not

[atomicbettie]

I had wondered that. It said there were 5 empty bags and 2 unused bags with him. I've never done/seen heroin. Wouldn't 5 bags be a lot? I guess it doesn't mean that he did them all at once but if he was in the bathroom... maybe he did. I am curious to hear more about this envelope.

[MiraculousMandarin]

Very sad. He was my favorite character in Twister. R.I.P.
