Academy Award-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead of an apparent drug overdose inside his New York apartment Sunday, a New York Police Department spokesperson said.
The “Capote” actor, 46, was discovered at 11:30 a.m. EST in his Greenwich Village apartment with a hypodermic needle in his arm, police said.
Hoffman had admitted that he suffered from substance-abuse problems but said he got sober in rehab.
“It was anything I could get my hands on,” Hoffman told “60 Minutes” in 2006. “I liked it all.”
Last year, the actor — who starred in such films as “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” “Moneyball” and “Boogie Nights” — reportedly checked himself into rehab for 10 days after relapsing in 2012.
