Drugs and Money... It's a lethal combination...

The actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, 46, was found dead by a friend at about 11:30 this morning in his New York West Village Manhattan from an apparent drug overdose. Investigators found a syringe in his arm and an envelope containing what is believed to be heroine. That makes an overdose pretty apparent. He had undergone drug addiction treatment in the past and recently lost his battle with sobriety last year.  He had been clean for 25 years.  

He is the father of three children - daughters, Tallulah and Willa; and a son, Cooper -- with costume designer Mimi O'Donnell. Prayers for his family in this difficult, difficult time.
