Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman died of suspected drug overdose

Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, 46, was found dead in his apartment in Manhattan, apparently because of overdose of drugs, law enforcement sources said.

Police said that they found his body on the bathroom floor and found two bags of what is believed to be heroin, inside his apartment.

Hoffman was expected to get his children but when he didn’t show up, David Katz and another person went to the apartment and found him dead, an official said.

"A needle was in the actor’s left arm, and eight empty glassine-type bags that usually contain heroin were found in the apartment" sources said.

We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone. This is a tragic and sudden loss and we ask that you respect our privacy during this time of grieving,” Hoffman’s family said in a statement.

Please keep Phil in your thoughts and prayers.”
