The actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead in his New York apartment on Sunday morning of an apparent drug overdose, according to a law enforcement official who requested anonymity because he was not certain the actor’s family had been informed of the death.

The official said Mr. Hoffman, 46, was found in his West Village apartment around 11:30 a.m. by a friend who had become concerned at not being able to reach Mr. Hoffman.

Investigators found a syringe in his arm and an envelope containing what is believed to be heroin, the official said.

This both saddens me and angers me because of the waste of talent and needless loss.

To me, 46 is too damn soon. OTOH, people lose kids to cancer; teens and 20 somethings die in car wrecks. Who am I to say?
