Tributes for tragic actor Philip Seymour Hoffman

Police are seen outside the home of Philip Seymour Hoffman, inset, who was found dead in his apartment on Sunday. He was 46.

Hollywood stars have paid tribute to the Oscar-winning actor who apparently died of a drug overdose. Envelopes containing what was believed to be heroin were found with him, police said.

The stage-trained actor’s rumpled naturalism brought him four Academy Award nominations – for Capote, The Master, Doubt and Charlie Wilson’s War.

Hoffman spoke candidly over the years about his struggles with addiction. After 23 years sober, he admitted in interviews last year to falling off the wagon.
