It's actually not shocking. Dude was a massive heroin addict.

[beardown07]

i didnt know that. whenever someone passes like that I suspect drugs. I had not heard about his addiction

 

[pixburgher66]

I didn't realize he was in bad shape. Pretty upsetting, I was never disappointed with his performances.

 

[jeffro151]

Yeah his death is surprising, but to learn it was from an overdose isn't surprising at all.

 

[mattola]

oh man they are reporting that the needle was still in his arm... ooof.

 

[Comeds]

Shocking to me, he always looked like the picture of health.

Meh. Maybe sometimes no dad is better than having a junkie dad.

Sux ... another tragedy ... and heroin strikes again. Great actor ... sad ... sad ... sad ...

I posted in another thread that this man's passing is a shame but not a tragedy. Bossman passing was a tragedy. He wanted to live life. This actor gave up on it.

Here's another actor who passed away this weekend who definitely lived a full life (and I had no idea he was also a concert pianist and conductor, to say nothing of fleeing from the Nazis at a young age).

Oscar winner Maximilian Schell dead at 83 - The Globe and Mail

My Father would have been 90 today. RIP Pops... Miss you something fierce (he passed in 2000)

 

[BlueWolfZero]

Aww, no. One of my favourite actors....
