A twitter hack I can see, or a web site hack. But both at the same time, to report fake celebrity gossip seems very unlikely.

Welcome to the Internet, where your death is just another opportunity to make other people look stupid, so nobody believes it anyway.

Whos knows if this detail is true, but it's reported that he was found with a needle in his arm. I know he recently went to rehab for a heroin addictin. That's too bad. It was just announced yesterday that Jake Gyllenhaal & Amy adams were to star in one of his directorial efforts "Ezekiel Moss", which coincidentally is about contacting the dead.
This sucks, folks.

well... there's a ton more confirmations now than when I first posted the above link... I'm really disappointed by this. Hoffman is originally from the same area of NY as I grew up in

Keith Richards has said that the reason he saw a lot of heroin addicts go is that they go through rehab and get it out of their system and then they come back and try and take their usual dose, which their bodies are no longer prepared for.
Side note: auto correct changed this from "he saw a lot of heroin addicts go is" to "he saw a lot of heroin addict goalies." Well played, AutoCorrect. Well played.

I'm sure this won't be on his death reel but he was hilarious in Along Came Polly.
