The death of actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman has police in NYC scrambling to find the dealer who sold him the heroin.
A search of his apartment where he was found dead turned up 50 bags of heroin and used syringes.
Police also found drug paraphernalia and prescription drugs. An autopsy is expected to be performed on Monday.
The Oscar-winning actor was found dead in his West Village apartment on Sunday morning with a hypodermic needle in his arm. He was 46.
Hoffman, who won the best actor Oscar for “Capote” in 2005, most recently appeared at the Sundance Film Festival to promote his new films “God’s Pocket” and Anton Corbin’s “A Most Wanted Man.”
He was also shooting the “Hunger Games” follow-ups “Mockingjay Part 1″ and “Part 2″ in Atlanta, reprising his role as Plutarch Heavensbee from “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.”
