New details coming out about Philip Seymour Hoffman’s overdose. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that 50 bags of heroin were found in his NYC apartment along with a lot of unused needles lending credence to the theory that he was gearing up for a heroin binge.
Both empty and unused heroin envelopes were branded with “Ace of Hearts” and “Ace of Spades,” street names for heroin.
Investigators also found, according to the two sources:
• More than 20 used syringes in a plastic cup.
• Several other bags containing white powder.
• Prescription drugs, including the blood-pressure medication clonidine hydrochloride; the addiction-treatment drug buprenorphine; Vyvanse, a drug used to treat attention-deficit (hyperactivity) disorder; hydroxyzine, which can be used to treat anxiety; and methocarbamol, a muscle relaxer. Authorities are investigating whether Hoffman had prescriptions for these drugs, the sources said.
Three days before, he was seen drinking in a downtown Atlanta bar where he seemed drunk and made repeated trips to the bathroom. The implication being that he was doing lines or had a really small bladder. Then on his flight out of Georgia, he was seen passed out. Not sure if there’s any significance to that considering that’s what most people do during a flight. What did you expect the guy to do, dance a little jig while you threw change at him?
