The Wall Street Journal reports that renowned actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was today found dead in his New York City apartment. Reports from the scene allege that Hoffman was found in his bathroom with a hypodermic needle in his arm, suggesting the actors death was the result of an accidental overdose. Hoffman had already struggled with drug-related issues in recent years. TMZ reported last May that the actor had checked himself into rehab for prescription pill and heroin abuse after falling off the wagon in 2012. The actor also received three Tony Award nominations for his work onstage, including a Best Leading Actor nod for his 2012 turn as Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman.
