Philip Seymour Hoffman Cause Of Death: What Really Happened To Philip Seymour Hoffman?

Academy Award-winning actor, director, and producer, Philip Seymour Hoffman, died of acute mixed drug intoxication on February 2, 2014. He was aged 46.

The coroner said he was found dead on the bathroom floor of his New York apartment with a syringe in his left arm.

The manner of death was ruled an accident, the medical examiner’s office.

Police found nearly 50 envelopes branded “Ace of Spades” filled with what they believe was heroin in the actor’s Manhattan apartment.

Used syringes, prescription drugs and empty bags that authorities suspect were used to hold heroin also were found in the apartment where Hoffman was found dead.

“He was expected to pick up his children that day but didn’t show up”, an official said. Playwright David Katz and another person went to the apartment and found him dead.

Police officers found him in a T-shirt and shorts with his eyeglasses still on his head.

Robert Vineberg, a 57-year-old musician, was arrested in connection with Hoffman’s death and released on bail earlier this month. Vineberg was among four people arrested in Manhattan in the days after Hoffman’s death.

Prosecutors said Vineberg, who was arrested on a felony charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance, had just under 50 small bags of heroin as well as packaging paraphernalia in his apartment during a raid.

In another one of his apartments in the same Mott Street building, prosecutors said, 250 small bags of heroin were found.

Vineberg was found to have the actor’s phone number stored in his cell phone.

Two other people arrested in connection with Hoffman’s death — Juliana Luchkiw and Max Rosenblum, both 22 — were eventually released.

Hoffman was mourned in New York February 7 in a star-studded private funeral attended by family and close friends.

Hoffman, who was nominated for Academy Awards four times, won the Oscar for best actor in 2006 for his portrayal of writer Truman Capote in “Capote.”

He earned Academy Award nominations for roles in “Charlie Wilson’s War,” “Doubt,” and “The Master.”
