Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Tragic End: Cocaine, Heroin, Rx Pills

Share

It’s sad to say that Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death was a blockbuster. The NYC Coroner has determined Hoffman had cocaine, heroin, and pills in his system. The needle hanging out of his arm was just one piece of the terrible puzzle that did him in. For some reason, just heroin sounded reasonable for an addict. But Hoffman was obviously on a major binge. What makes no sense is why he was alone, or buying drugs on the Lower East Side, taking money out of an ATM for druf dealers– and no one was with him. An Oscar winning actor shooting a major film franchise– and no one was monitoring his activities. His condition could not have been a surprise. There are more questions here than answers. Tragic.
