Wasn’t he injecting Heroine laced with Fentanyl? Seems I read that somewhere. I’d never heard of the guy before this happened.
I heard that, but I didn't think it was for sure.
Fentanyl is nothing to fool with. It's believed to be what killed around 130 hostages when it was used (in vapor form) during the Moscow Theater Hostage Crisis in October 2002. It would seem that mixing it with smack would be playing Russian Roulette with three rounds in the cylinder.
As far as Philip Seymour Hoffman goes, I think I had heard his name, but I got him mixed up with those other three-named male movie stars, like David Ogden Stiers and David Hyde Pierce.
I had to look around on YouTube to find out that he was the ultra-yes-man who worked for The Big Lebowski.
I think he didn't become a household name until he played the title role in Capote.
That makes two of us. The "media" was reporting this like it was the end of the world. I had to come here and wait for someone to post his picture. When they did, I still didn't recognize him. LOL! I've got to catch up on my "pop culture" stuff, I guess.
There was no fentanyl in the drugs left over, nor in his body.
Apparently it was not fentanyl tainted.
