This fact alone should move people to a more sympathetic view of those who become victims to such failings later in life.

That being said, it's still good advise to avoid pernicious addiction. And no, I'm not typing this high, lest you're counting caffeine and nicotine.

Addiction is a hard thing to manage. I know because my brother is an addict. You can get clean but you're never free. The man was clean for 23 years before falling into his addiction cycle after a surgery where his MD gave him pills which led to his snorting heroin in 2012. After a stint in rehab he was clean for about a year and checked in to rehab in May of 2013. Sadly this time it killed him. He can't be blamed for his lack of trying but i have to say for a wealthy actor, living in NY was probably not a good choice for him. Too much temptation everywhere. No matter what he was a great actor and developing talent as a director. This isn't a sad day for us or him today. it's a sad day for his 3 children who now have no father and for his remaining family. He will be missed.

I'm sorry, I guess it is as easily done as said. Forgive me.

Phillip Hoffman is not worth an argument about the evils of Heroin use. We can agree to disagree on whether it is a tragedy or not. Not like some unexpected traffic accident or some other uncontrolled demise befell him.
