46-year-old Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman "was found dead in his bathroom, of an apparent drug overdose" in his New York City home, New York Police reports.
According to Mashable, an official cause of death has not been confirmed by NYC's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
Hoffman's family reportedly released this 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 and we ask that you respect our privacy during this time of grieving. Please keep Phil in your thoughts and prayers.”

Hoffman plays a prominent role in The Hunger Games movie franchise as gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee, but there is no word on how his character will be handled in Liongate's two forthcoming Hunger Games films.
