R.I.P Such a shame

Goodness gracious. Can't people leave his apartment alone? A man just died and his family are probably on his way. It's reminding me of what happened immediately after Heath passed away.

I agree pixie, sigh...

He had such a wonderful career ahead of him. ****. He just seemed so talented and full of projects.

 

[Razzer]

so sad, he was still so young. A great talent has been lost, he really invested in the characters he played in his career.

The actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his New York apartment on Sunday morning of an apparent drug overdose, according to a law enforcement official who requested anonymity because he was not certain the actor’s family had been informed of the death.

The way the media have handled this is making me sick. His poor family.
