This is list is very long, and it’s so sad because these were very talented individuals that could have done so much more. What I don’t get is why Hollywood stars are so involved with heroin. They know what this drug can do, they know is deadly, they know sooner or later it will end with their careers and their lives and they still do it. Aren’t they afraid or they simply don’t care
I think some of the pressures of fame compared to the easy access to money makes abusing substances especially easy for those in the entertainment industry. Some performers also think drugs and alcohol make them more creative so it is another reason they indulge. It is just sad, how addictive these substances can be, and how toxic even to those you would think would have every reason to live. Another person to add to the list is Glenn Quinn who played Roseanne's son in -law on Roseanne.

There was the curious case of Kristen Pfaff. She was the bass player in Courtney Love's band, Hole, and died of an apparent heroin overdose not long after Kurt Cobain shot himself. There's a very interesting conspiracy story concerning these two deaths but that's a matter for another forum really.

This might sound a bit harsh but I'm still not buying the fact that celebrities lives are any more stressful than ours and that gives them the reason or excuse to use drugs. We all have stresses in our lives, and you could even say that the lives of the everyday people are even more strained than theirs so when a celebrity uses that as an excuse it kind of annoys me.
Yes, the were all talented people who left this world too soon. I think being famous and having a lot of money may make it more likely you will be using drugs because some of these people have too much money, and no earthly idea what to spend it on. I think Hoffman had been clean for a long time, but ended up having some personal issues, that seemed to make him suspectible to these problems, and his eventual relapse and death.
