Hoffman loses his battle with drugs A career in film: Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was found dead yesterday, was best known to young audiences as Plutarch Heavensbee in The Hunger Games but also appeared in The Talented Mr Ripley, Moneyball and Mission: Impossible III.

Oscar winner found dead in his bathroom ‘with a needle in his arm’ OSCAR-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead from a suspected heroin overdose yesterday. The 46-year-old Hunger Games star, who went into rehab in May, was discovered at his Manhattan home. Police found him with a syringe in his arm, reports suggest. Officers were called to his home by a friend. An NYPD statement said: ‘He was found dead in his bathroom of an apparent drug overdose.’ His death overshadowed last night’s London Critics’ Circle Film Awards, where screen stars paid tribute. John Hurt, who starred with Hoffman in 2003 film Owning Mahowny, said: ‘It’s a devastating loss.

The father-of-three talked about how an addiction to prescription pills led him to snorting heroin before checking himself into detox. His family said in a statement: ‘We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Phil and appreciate the outpouring of love and support we have received from everyone. This is a tragic and sudden loss.’ At last night’s critics’ awards, Philomena star Steve Coogan said: ‘He did some tremendous work. Everything he was in he raised the quality of his film just by his presence.’
