The Wall Street Journal reports, the New York Police Department is investigating the death, at this point the exact cause remains unknown until the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner completes the autopsy and toxicology exams.
It has been reported that the actor was found dead by a screenwriter at approximately 11:15 a.m. who then called 911.
Hoffman has struggled with substance abuse for years, and most recently the actor checked himself in to rehab after relapsing in 2012.
Sad news, I truly liked this actor...
