Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead Sunday in his New York City apartment, law enforcement officials confirmed to NBC News. He was 46.
A
concerned friend found Hoffman in the actor's bathroom, fully clothed.
When police arrived about 11:30 a.m., they found Hoffman still had a
syringe in his arm. Glassine bags believed to contain heroin were also
found, police said.
Most recently, Hoffman was at the Sundance
Film Festival promoting his film "God's Pocket," opposite "Mad Men"
actors Christina Hendricks and John Slattery. The actor was also set to
star in a new Showtime comedy, "Happyish," which was introduced to TV
critics last month in Los Angeles. One of Hoffman's last taped
interviews can be seen here.
Born
in Fairport, New York, the versatile actor was accomplished in both
theater and on the big screen. He earned three Tony nominations, three
supporting actor Academy Award nominations (including 2012's "The
Master"), and won a best actor Oscar for 2005's "Capote." He was most
recently seen as Plutarch Heavensbee in the "Hunger Games" sequel
"Catching Fire."
