Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his Manhattan apartment
%uh screenwriter David Katz found him not with a syringe in his arm
at this moment their allegations that he died from a drug overdose however we
have to wait for
about the real results love certain tests to come out to confirm that
I'm however even though he had that syringe in his arm and an envelope with
heroin
apparently hit got their drug rehab when he was
in his twenties and he had been clean for at least 23 years
and of course he relapsed notices obviously very sad news
and its unexpected no one would have guessed that this would happen
and I just don't the only thing I can really say about this is
I just don't understand what leads anyone to do
drugs like this but it happens and that's why it's important to legalize
and regulate
because in that case I mean you have places like Canada right that have in
the places where you can go when you can injectors up with the drugs
at me since being monitored right if you don't done and you don't die
and at least you know it's not laced with something that even more harmful
their number of deaths that occurred because I'm
a dirty or bad heroin and it's been laced with a drug that's given to
terminally ill cancer patients is supposed to be a pain
medication a hundred times more powerful than morphine
we don't know if that was the case in this in this situation
but again you got to legalize and regulate food stuff like this doesn't
happen as often
so people take this is an example why not do you know some media heroin is so
dangerous is it crazy you legalize
hmm nobody 8 you too good in a controlled environment
well there's officials there they're not gonna let you down
great so I the as 100 percent right about like will see more of it was a
great actor
and to your first question and I of course we never know but
it's interesting you know you think that if you achieve certain local success
weather is
financial war its fame or whatever it might be
power that you're gonna be happy but that's not really how life works
sometimes there's a hole in somebody's you know
I was a hard disk hokey and I don't mean believe that
but is something that they are yearning to fill up
but they just cant no matter what they do no matter how successful they are
they can satisfy that yeah as sometimes that's the reason they
attorney George now of course we don't know Philip Seymour Hoffman in
particular right and what his situation was
but obviously was it incredibly successful really well-liked
actor and you know won an Oscar et cetera
and but yet he felt like he did something more which is a damn shame
because he didn't
he could have found I mean it's easy to say afterwards right
but he could about happiness is so many other way yeah I think
you know you never know what kind of inner demons people are living with or
dealing with
and in the case of celebrities since we see them on the big screen since we see
them out in public we act as if we know who they are what they're going through
obviously we have no idea but my favorite quote as hokey as it may sound
is you know if you wanna feel rich a
count the things in your life that you can't buy with money right because there
is this misconception especially in our culture that the more wealthy you are
the more financially successful you are the happier you'll be
but that's not necessarily the case I mean we've done many stories about
actors
that have died as a result of a drug overdose and you know my heart goes out
to him in his
you know to his family you know is that three young kids
yeah so I yes by the way that was hokey I am
but it's true via and and if you think payments dancer boy
your I i'm you know barking up the wrong tree this is an appointed legislature
actors who is also
I musicians countless they get famous
and they were it appears obviously we don't know
all this this this is behind it they're more likely to to divert drug overdose
not less likely
now there's many other factors and I'm sure there are plenty of famous people
were super happy
but that's obviously not the sole answer and
we're all gonna miss some I just I loved him as an actor
and if he was in a movie I was more likely to see because I knew it was
gonna be a little bit more powerful
and so it's a damn shame
