Doesn't really make it right. Many people deal with problems in healthy ways.

There are also portions of the population that deal with their struggles by murdering and committing other henious acts. Hoffman has left his family to now deal with this tragedy rather than dealing with whatever issues he had appropriately. He obviously struggled and was able to get clean, so what pushed him over the edge this time?

I'm no saint and definitely have my fair shar of vices, but I really can't understand the mindset of sticking that needle in your arm the first time. You know it can kill you. You know it will likely lead to a hard-drug addiction. What's to gain really? How can someone convince you, or you convince yourself, that sticking that in your arm is a good idea?

Really liked him as an actor, it's sad he goes so young and leaves a family behind.
