Guess he has 3 kids under age 10 that he was supposed to pick up in the morning. Just a terrible thing.
Good quote from that article:
Instead of standing out in these early films, he stood within them—gauging the pace and tone of the action around him and blending in so delicately that it's not uncommon for even Hoffman fanatics to look back on his career and think, I forgot he was in that.

I can't imagine what kind of extreme self-destructive mentality would lead someone to inject themselves with heroin the first time either. It sucks because that one terrible decision can haunt someone for the rest of their lives.
As I said before, heroin does not take away someone's humanity. Hoffman paid for his bad decisions with his life and it is so sad to see that his family will really be the ones who will have to pick up the pieces.
Heroin is a b****. It takes too many good people away.
