The Death Of Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman Is Another Reminder Of The Drug Culture In Hollywood

Philip Seymour Hoffman

Four people have been arrested in connection with the death of Academy Award winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was found dead last week of a heroin overdose at age 46. A friend discovered Hoffman's lifeless body in the actor's Greenwich Village, NY apartment, with a heroin needle still stuck in his arm. Hoffman starred in the gay themed films "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Capote."

Hoffman, a father of three, is alleged to have bought 70 bags of heroin from drug dealer Robert Vineberg, who made his first appearance in court yesterday for his arraignment. Security video of the star withdrawing cash from an ATM machine to pay for the drugs led police to Vineberg and three others.  

Robert Vineberg

Hoffman is one of many Hollywood stars who have overdosed on drugs, in an industry that promotes the use of illegal narcotics. One is made to feel like a punk or wimp if one does not indulge in the abundant supply of drugs regularly found at industry events and it is one of the very things killing people off in tinseltown. One is made to feel uncool, but there is nothing cool about overdosing and dying, missing many years of your life and that of your children. 

The medical and science communities must do more to help drug addicts, as the chemical change in their brains creates overwhelming compulsions many are struggling to cope with. Science can safely help drug addicts beat their addictions.

Heath Ledger Died Of Accidental Drug Overdose

Corey Haim v. Michael J. Fox

In looking at the tragic death of former child star, Corey Haim, one is reminded of another Canadian star that made it big in Hollywood, but to less dangerous results, the irrepressible, Michael J. Fox.

Corey Haim and his mom Judy

Corey shot to fame in such 1980's movie classics as "License To Drive" "Lucas" and "Lost Boys." Though he has been engaged, he never married, due to sad situations breaking up relationships.

Michael J. Fox

Haim began using drugs, like most other teen stars in Hollywood and it became a life long struggle, battling said addiction. At times, Haim was alone and the loneliness may have worsened his addiction.

Michael J. Fox, who began acting in his teens, became famous in his twenties for roles in such films as the "Back To The Future" trilogy, "The Secret Of My Success," "Teen Wolf" and Alex P. Keaton on the TV show "Family Ties." Fox reportedly had difficulties with alcohol.

Both men are talented actors, but getting married fairly early (age 26) and having children with wife, Tracey Pollan, may have grounded Fox, centering him and creating a driving force in his life, to want to do better.

As with the early deaths of Hollywood actors River Phoenix, Brad Renfro and Heath Ledger, the passing of Corey Haim is another sad reminder of the pitfalls of fame in tinsel town.

Brittany Murphy Died Of Drug Overdose

Brittany Murphy in "Deadline"

The Los Angeles County Coroner has confirmed what the Judiciary Report previously speculated, actress and Kabbalah member, Brittany Murphy, died of an accidental drug overdose.

Medical examiners have not yet released the names of the drugs in her system, but their analysis is conclusive with a factor that has been prominent in a number of untimely Hollywood deaths such as Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith and many others. Hollywood stars play around with legal and illegal drugs and it is very dangerous.

Murphy died from a drug overdose, pneumonia, anemia and an iron deficiency. She was already on medication for other preexisting issues, then took a host of additional meds for the "flu" accidentally poisoning her system.

It is being stated, had she gotten to the hospital sooner, she would be alive today. I don't doubt that. However, she most likely brushed off her condition as just another cold.

Coroner: Brittany Murphy Died Of Accidental Drug Overdose

Posted on Feb 04, 2010 @ 12:25PM - Actress Brittany Murphy died of an accidental drug overdose, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The Coroner’s office released a statement Thursday morning stating that Murphy had “multiple drug intoxication” and that the matter of death was an “accident”.

The Coroner also says that Murphy had “community acquired pneumonia” and suffered from “iron deficiency anemia”...

Multiple Meds Found In Brittany Murphy Home

According to TMZ, many prescription medications were found in the nightstand of the late Kabbalah cult actress, Brittany Murphy, who died last week from cardiac arrest at age 32.

TMZ states she was on the following 10 medications, "Topamax, Methylprednisolone, Fluoxetine, Klonopin, Carbamazepine, Ativan, Vicoprofen, Propranolol, Biaxin and Hydrocodone." That's a lot of stuff.

Some of the Judiciary Report's regular readers may recall the medication "Topamax" and its generic "Toprimate" which this site slammed a month ago on November 21, 2009, as terrible pharmaceutical drugs.

If Murphy was indeed on "Topamax" certain aspects of this story now make sense. As previously stated on this website, "Topamax" can cause "Metabolic Acidosis" which can lead to organ failure, coma and or death if left untreated.

"Metabolic Acidosis" is a terrible condition where there is too much acid in the blood. It causes stomach pains and shortness of breath, among other things. Murphy complained of "stomach pains and shortness of breath" before she died.

"Topamax" also creates a loss of appetite and cognitive trouble, such as difficulty reading and finding words on a page. It was reported Murphy had become very thin and was also fired from a film this month, because she kept botching her lines. If she was indeed on "Topamax" it would make perfect sense this happened, as it has done that to thousands of people, who complained online.

"Topamax" combined with the other medications found in her home, would definitely be enough to have killed Murphy. There were also previous allegations of illegal drug use, which have not been proven yet. That's a lot of toxicity.

Some doctors love overmedicating people. Medicine is good, but in moderation. Murphy should not have been on all those pharmaceutical medications, as it was ill-advised and dangerous.

As stated before, during the Michael Jackson case, there needs to be a database where doctors can cross reference items to know exactly what medication each patient is being treated with, to prevent toxicity and overdoses.

Britney Spears

That Kabbalah cult teaches members very sick, depressing things and their minds can't take it. They then look for a method of escape and many turn to heavy doses of numerous prescription and illegal drugs, which can turn lethal.

Lindsay Lohan

As stated previously, other Kabbalah members, such as Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, are on a host of pharmaceutical meds and have experimented with illegal narcotics as well, posing a great danger to their collective health.

Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger, a deceased actor that dated Lindsay Lohan during the time of his death, also died of a prescription med overdose. Hollywood refuses to learn from past mistakes. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Did They Learn Nothing From Heath Ledger

Mitch Hewer

Handsome, heterosexual movie star, Heath Ledger, was chosen by gay Hollywood, to play a homosexual predator in the gay film "Brokeback Mountain."

He faced a worldwide backlash, which included public pressure, protests, death threats, hate mail and emails. It began the downward emotional spiral that drove him to illegal prescription medication abuse, which ultimately claimed his life to an overdose.

Yesterday, the Judiciary Report covered the BBC/E4 teen program "Skins" in the article "Madonna Violates The Privacy Of Minors."

A homosexual character on "Skins" was called Maxie and the role was played by heterosexual actor, Mitch Hewer.

Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain, the gay creators and writers of the show, who worked for, then with, sicko writer/producer, Russell Davies, chose Hewer for his good looks. Davies, a camp homosexual, publicly thanked him for including the gay character in the show.

At the time he was chosen to play Maxie, Mitch was barely 17-years-old and required to perform gay kissing and fondling scenes on camera. That's called exploitation of a minor.

Hewer later stated in an interview that people (men) always come up to him expecting him to be gay like the character Maxie, but he is not. His facial expressions and words during the interview betrayed the fact he was not happy regarding these developments.

He has also been typecast as gay, as the work is not flowing in as it should be, for an actor that was on national television, starring on a program that was shown in many countries.

To take a heterosexual male, especially one that is a minor, promise him fame and fortune, but tell him, in order to live his dreams as an actor, he as an underage youth, would have to do gay kissing and fondling scenes with other boys on camera, was reprehensible.

What about Hewer's emotional well being. Did the gay factions of the entertainment world learn nothing from the death of Heath Ledger. They took a straight actor, cast him in a high profile gay role and it resulted in an avalanche of letters, comments and criticism that played a factor in his early demise.

His mind was so distressed and restless that he overmedicated himself. It is a terrible burden they place on straight actors, casting them in gay roles.

Too often, gay executives in show business, want good looking, charming young men to compromise who they are, in order to set up some ideal of what is gay, in a bid at shoving homosexuality down the throats of audiences.

I find the show "Skins" very disturbing. It sets a horrible example for teens, much like the 20th Century Fox film "Jennifer's Body" and certain other programming in that genre. It's not right to foist that on people's impressionable children.

Skins

Jamie Brittain, who nicknamed himself "Devil" on Twitter, bragged recently that "Skins" does show debauchery among teens, but refuses to show the consequences of such misconduct. This dude is crazy. You're not even dealing with adults, but children and this is the terrible mindset you are operating under, in exposing millions of people's kids to vile conduct, guaranteed to mess up their lives in some manner or other, if they try it.

That's called being reckless. You have a pedophilic show full of 16 and 17-year-olds, glamorizing simulating sex on camera, binge drinking (getting very drunk, very often), abusing prescription meds in large doses, taking illegal drugs such as Ecstasy, marijuana and magic mushrooms, violently attacking each other requiring hospitalization for head and body injuries, engaging in property theft and destruction, underage youths having sex with teachers, teenage abortion and racial slurs - yet you are showing off, with your pseudo-intellectual thinking, that this is somehow acceptable behavior. You really are a "Devil."

But what about the consequences?

You seemed to have unrealistically exempted yourself from all consequences in life, such as criminally spying on underage youth and foolishly believing their sibling won't come after you in every court of law, both civil and criminal, until you are incarcerated, destitute and without any form of a name. You are to the BBC and E4, what they call in the insurance and legal industries, a massive liability.

Kabbalah DJ Found Dead

Kabbalah member, DJ AM, was found dead in his New York apartment yesterday. DJ AM, real name, Adam Goldstein, survived a plane crash last year that killed four people.

A friend went to check on him, after not hearing from Goldstein for a few days. When he received no response from knocking on his door, his friend called the police.

The police then contacted the fire department, requesting they breakdown his apartment door. Goldstein was found dead, laying face down in bed. A crackpipe and prescription medication were found in his apartment.

In the weeks before his passing, Goldstein began work on an MTV special aimed at cleaning up drug addicts. He professed he was 9-years sober, but clearly relapsed.

Side Bar: didn't the site just go over this two days ago, with the death of Kabbalah member Michael Jackson, warning that another Kabbalah member, Britney Spears, engaging in similarly reckless conduct, is eligible for an overdose. Not to mention the Heath Ledger article last year. Celebrities often fail to learn from others mistakes.

Side Bar #2: As a poster on TMZ's feedback section noted last night, thus far, this summer alone, there have been a number of celebrity deaths: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Jasmine Fiore, Oscar Mayer Jr, John Hughes, Eunice Shriver, Ted Kennedy, Walter Cronkite, Steve McNair, David Carridine, Dominique Dunne, Karl Malden, Gale Storm, Sky Saxon and Fred Travalena.

DJ AM, Star Disc Jockey, Found Dead

Published: August 28, 2009 - DJ AM, a high-profile disc jockey who was as famous for his much-chronicled relationships as he was for his creative scratching and mixing on the celebrity club circuit, was found dead on Friday evening in his apartment in Manhattan, the police said.

The police said his body was found in his seventh-floor apartment in SoHo about 5:30 p.m. after friends had tried unsuccessfully to reach him for days. The chief police spokesman, Paul J. Browne, said the police did not suspect foul play.

DJ AM, 36, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, was discovered face-down in his bed wearing only sweatpants, with a crack pipe and unspecified prescription drugs nearby, an official said.

Emergency workers had to break down the door to get in after one of the friends who had been trying to reach Mr. Goldstein called 911 on Friday.

In an interview with The New York Times in 2007, Mr. Goldstein said he drank heavily, used cocaine and smoked crack in his early 20s, reaching his lowest point when he attempted suicide in 1997. But he also said he had cleaned up his life — including having gastric bypass surgery after his weight ballooned to 324 pounds — and had managed to stay sober for nine years...

In October, The Associated Press reported, MTV was to begin his new reality show, “Gone Too Far,” in which he and concerned families staged interventions for drug abusers...
