Taken from CNN:Can't feel bad for him, 50 bags of heroin? It's too bad for anyone to pass away, but when you waste your life away like this you don't get any sympathy from me. I don't even know who he is, and haven't seen any of his movies.

Just my opinion.

^Summed it up pretty well.

Selfish person who had kids and left them behind with their father being painted as a drug addict in the media.

too bad he went out a shitty way.....who care's if you have boat loads of money i don't see bill gates Tooting any lines lately,it's a stupid way of thinking if you're loaded you should be living like a 80's rockstar.....drugs will fuck you over bad sooner or later.

bbbbbut he was in a movie i like. he's a junkie. plain and simple. just like the ones on hastings. except he has no excuse. he has all the time, money and resources to get off that shit.

Drugs will consume anyone, rich or poor, male or female, young or old.

He probably didn't want to get off it. The question is, why was he on it to begin with? Did it make him a better actor? Some artists have actually performed better while under the influence. I figure the drugs helped them to shed any predispositions of his abilities?

lol maybe he wasn't an addict and used heroin like once in a while. and this batch he got was just a little stronger and he while under the influence already he made a bad decision to shoot up a bit more and measured the dose wrong or whatever.

some quick googling:

1 bag is ~100mg
10bags = 1g
50bags = 5g

typical dose:
Erowid Heroin Vault : Dosage
no tolerance: 5-10mg
heavy tolerance: 20-40mg

that means 50 bags isnt a lot for someone that uses then.

i mean if you had millions... and you used. you wouldn't buy every time you shot up like a junkie would. you'd just buy a bunch and store it for later. who knows, maybe that was 1 month worth of stuff... or 1 year worth of stuff? or maybe he was gonna have a party and a buncha ppl were gonna use it?

tons of artists or performers have died on drugs, or used drugs to enhance their performance or understand/better embody some perspective.

drugs aren't only used as an escape.

But... but... 50 bags! That sounds so controversial!!!

Seriously though, shitting on a guy with a drug problem... he contributed way more to the world as a junkie than any of us sober plebes ever will :fuckthatshit:

Im surprised he didn't go the michael jackson route though, with his money you would think he'd have a couple doctors monitoring him and administering his doses (yes yes a lot of good it did michael blah blahblah)

And he goes To Church!......He'll be better then any one of us here will ever Be..

TIME: Aaron Sorkin: Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Death Saved 10 Lives

It's a real shame that he lost his battle to addiction. He was a very talented actor. He was excellent in Capote and super funny in Along Came Polly.

For what it is worth, came across this earlier today:
