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.
I read that it wasn't the first time he relapsed since he went sober at age 22. I think it was just last year he was in rehab for a prescription medication addiction that led him back to heroin.
