Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman has been found dead in Manhattan after an apparent drug overdose, the New York Police Department has revealed to U.S. media.
A friend found the 46-year-old at 11.30 a.m. Sunday morning in the bathroom of his 4th floor Greenwich Village apartment with a needle in his arm, sources told The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal said that the New York Police Department is investigating, but the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is yet to determine the exact cause of death.
An official also told The New York Times that Hoffman appeared to have died from a drug overdose.
Hoffman revealed last year that he spent time in rehab to combat a growing problem with heroin.
Hoffman had struggled with substance abuse issues in the past, but had been sober for a reported 23 years before relapsing in 2012. The actor told TMZ last year that he had “a great group of friends and family” who had helped him seek help.
