Also, "‘Deadly Heroin’ In Play in Philip Seymour Hoffman Death Investigation."
More from Robert Stacy McCain, "The Needle and the Spoon":
When I was a long-haired freak back in the 1970s, everybody knew heroin was a bad drug. There are no “recreational” heroin users, and a junkie will sell his soul to get another taste of slow-motion suicide. Somebody forgot to warn Philip Seymour Hoffman...Well, either that, or the dude just couldn't give a f-k and threw it all away, like a loser.
See Bethany Mandel, at PJ Media, "Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Death: The Height of Selfishness":
Over the weekend, Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his apartment of an apparent drug overdose. Immediately stars and fans began to express their remorse over the loss of an incredibly talented, Oscar-winning actor. One star, however, bucked the trend. With Supernatural star Jared Padalecki tweeting:
He very quickly deleted the tweet after massive backlash, “clarifying” his stance by saying, “I didnt mean PSH is stupid or that addiction isnt a reality. I simply meant I have a different definition of “tragedy”"Still more at the link.
It’s a shame that Padalecki buckled to the outrage police, because he was one of the few prominent voices calling Hoffman’s death what it was. While Hollywood and the media were mourning the loss of an actor, three children aged 10, 7 and 5 lost a father yesterday.
Hoffman’s friends and family were alerted to something being amiss yesterday morning when he didn’t arrive as scheduled to pick up his children. During the subsequent investigation by the NYPD it was found that Hoffman had 50 bags of heroin in his possession at the time of his death, with TMZ assuming that the star was planning to go on a long binge.
With all of the adjectives thrown around regarding Hoffman’s death: tragic, sad, and so on, I would suggest a politically incorrect alternative: selfish.
And at the Los Angeles Times, "Philip Seymour Hoffman dies amid major comeback of heroin in the U.S."
