UPDATE: Philip Seymour Hoffman Found Dead In NYC Apartment

The actor, 45, left a detox center on May 24 after being treated for a substance abuse issue that was spiraling out of control. He is now working on a new film in Europe.

Philip had suffered from a drug problem in the past, but has been clean for over 23 years, until he fell off the wagon in 2012. He abused prescription pills and was snorting heroin, he told TMZ.

Thankfully, within a week of falling off the wagon, Philip checked himself into a detox center on the East Coast, where he stayed for ten days.

Philip said that without “a great group of friends and family” he would not have gotten better. Philip, who has three children with his partner Mimi O’Donnell, clearly has a great support system around him.
