pamfletty Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The only celebrity death that's really got to me in my lifetime has been Adam Yauch. Truly tragic. Yup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laralaurent Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I don't have many celebrity attachments but Philip Seymour Hoffman was my favorite actor. Really tragic death. That Almost Famous clip SHREDS. cemeterytapes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesar11 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 "Phillip Seymour Hoffman was found with five empty heroin bag as well as many as 65 more bags that were still unused, police told ABC News." yeah...this guy did it to himself.

Bladewillisisdead Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 "Phillip Seymour Hoffman was found with five empty heroin bag as well as many as 65 more bags that were still unused, police told ABC News." yeah...this guy did it to himself. He was clean/sober for 23 years, relapsed when a doctor prescribed him pain medication, and then checked himself into rehab early in 2013. Addiction is a disease and he fought it successfully most of his life. It's utterly heartbreaking that this happened and he didn't get the help he needed. This isn't Charlie Sheen overdosing on coke or something. PSH never glorified his drug use and spent the majority of his life clean and trying to stay that way. agaetisbyrjun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is on Netflix I think. Great movie of his that may have been mentioned here already but I didn't see it skimming through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paintedinexile Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I plan on trying to watch all of his movies this weekend. I'm bummed though that I only have a few of his movies on DVD/Blu Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 so apparently he got high with the fentanyl? heroin... just awful. just found out a friend who OD'd last month back home was using the same stuff. bunch of people died around pittsburgh from the same stuff. heroin is awful, it doesnt matter if youre famous or not, ive seen some bullshit comments made on social media, just depressing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhook Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I liked his movies a a lot, with that said, I don't feel bad for him. I have had too many people I actually know in real life get into this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniegwilliams Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 He was incredible in every so for film he'd done, so sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 It's unfortunate his series for Showtime will never come to be. It sounded great and I would have loved to see him develop a character over the course of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laralaurent Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Not sure if anyone else has read this piece by Russell Brand on his heroin addiction, but it provides a chilling perspective on drugs and addiction. I know it's easy to not feel sympathy for someone who has died of an addiction by saying "they did it to themselves" for we can all see the destruction it inevitably causes, but there is something that causes people to want to use. Especially heroin. This article about the overdose reversing drug Naloxone is a good read too: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/02/hoffman-and-the-terrible-heroin-deaths-in-the-shadows/283533/ Bladewillisisdead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youmightbewrong Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Heroin is no joke. I guess I feel bad for addicts because I've seen people close to me genuinely try to stop and they just can't do it. It's a messy situation that I don't wish upon my worst enemy. This guy was brilliant. Such a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting messy. I wonder if they think the heroin was laced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalinacaper Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I don't think it would have mattered either way honestly, he had obviously prepared to shoot up as much as it took to make himself unconscious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
