Phil Seymour Hoffman died

RIP. He died from apparent OD in his apartment.

This leads me to wonder; why there are so many actor deaths relating to OD. Is it the stress or what?

EDIT: Now this is interesting, apparently 2 days before he died (31st of Jan) there was a [url=http://en.mediamass.net/people/philip-seymour-hoffman/deathhoax.html]death hoax about him.[/url]

EDITEDIT: turns out that death hoax... was actually a hoax. jesus.

@opmeTK: Could be the truth, but we don't know. Could be the stress, could be anything.

@xtripled: Eh. It just seems that an awfully large amount of celebrity deaths are caused through OD, so i thought there was some kind of correlation.

@ishottedsnow2: well like i said, the connections are always there so if one night he randomly decided to try it with some friends then well, that's a wrap. Although some people seek these drugs for the reasons already mentioned in this thread.

[quote=acuppa]@ishottedsnow2 Could be any number of things. Grueling schedules, immense pressure to perform/create, being judged by millions of people, etc.[/quote]

Mmm. That could be the reason, and what you said was true. He was sober for 25 years before relapsing.

@Errr: for hunger games? :o

I wonder what they'll do for the next movie.

[quote=xtripled]i'm assuming it's because they have so many connections that getting these drugs is easy for them. Also it doesn't take that many times to get hooked, especially with hard drugs.[/quote]

It's not about like how he got the drugs, but what made him do it in the first place. It seems to be common among actors/actresses.

In this case it sounds like he was a recovered addict of many years, but fell off after using prescription medication.
