NEW YORK—
Award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was found dead in his apartment in New York City on Sunday, died of an apparent drug overdose, a New York city police source said.
The source said Hoffman was found dead in his Manhattan apartment after a 911 emergency call from a friend of his. The New York City Police Department confirmed to the LA Times that the “Capote” actor was discovered with a hypodermic needle in arm.
Hoffman had completed a detox program for substance abuse, including snorting heroin, in May, according to Variety.
Hoffman won the Academy Award for Best Actor for the 2005 biographical film Capote, and received three Academy Award nominations as Best Supporting Actor.
