Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Diary Entries Revealed
Published at
Elisabetta Villa/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — As part of their investigation into his death, the NYPD recovered two diaries from the Manhattan apartment of Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Hoffman died on Feb. 2 at the age of 46. According to police sources, the Oscar winner was found with bags of heroin and a needle in his arm. He left behind his longtime partner Mimi O’Donnell and their three children, as well as many friends who mourned the actor last week at a private funeral in Manhattan.
His diaries did not include suicidal thoughts or chronicles of drug activity, according to police sources, though they did provide insight into the actor’s state of mind. The private journals did contain musings about his struggle with addiction, as well as thoughts that were tough to make sense of, sources said.
Some entries were legible, while others less so, and one person who saw the books said that some entries appear to either be disassociated ramblings or a creative exercise. Detectives have returned the journals, along with other personal belongings, to Hoffman’s family, sources said.
