Veteran Actor, Philip Seymour, 46 ,apparently dies of drug overdose

The Wall Street journal reports that veteran Actor, Philip Seymour was found dead in his New York Apartment apparently of drug overdose. Yet another loss of an academy award winning actor to the hands of death.

An official told the NYT that a syringe was found in the actor's arm at the scene, accompanied by what appeared to be an envelope of heroin. “It’s pretty apparent that it was an overdose," the official confirmed. "The syringe was in his arm.”

It was reported in May 2013 that Hoffman underwent drug detox treatment for substances including heroin. Hoffman also battled drug abuse in his early twenties and was clean for 23 years before relapsing.

The acclaimed actor is best known for his outstanding performances in films like "The Master," "Doubt," "Charlie Wilson's War" and "Capote" -- for which he won an Oscar for Best Actor in 2005.

He survived by his long time partner and their three young children. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
