Maybe.
It appears though that he died doing what he loved. Not many can say that.
You’re right; pity he chose to be a victim instead.
when you die in general there’s a good chance you will, because all your muscles relax.
Coincidentally, I just watched Magnolia yesterday, and really enjoyed his role. Judging by the other movies of his I've seen, he was playing against type.

Lucky you—I’ve never been to Africa
I’ve been touting him for so long I received a call from an out-of state son telling me about the death-—of course I had just heard about it on FR.
I think I’ll treat myself to a Hoffman marathon to get me through the rest of the winter.

I think he was pretty darn good. It’s refreshing to see someone without the cookie-cutter good looks be able to really act and get a chance. I sort of put Paul Giamatti and Steve Buscemi in the same class. RIP

“Find an adventure and do it.”
I haven’t got an adventuresome bone in my body. My kids and grandkids keep me up on their travels.
I love old cities,museums,old homes,battlefields,architecture,and the like.
Hope you get to do your Camino De Santiago tour someday. I loved Spain and Portugal.
Why should I count to ten. He should have thought about his three children. That was his job. It only became my job because the fool offed himself.

Fentanyl is very powerful, yes.
After surgery, I was given morphine drip in hospital - I know how people under morphine think they can fly. Found I reacted so poorly to it that I was taken off.
Later on in rehab from surgery pain, I was put on Fentanyl patch. When it came off during a shower I neglected to put another one back on since I had been feeling no pain (hello, me, it was the Fentanyl that made me comfortable after the surgery).
After missing that one patch, I ended up in emergency claiming that the whole world smelled terrible. I asked, loudly and hysterically, everyone from EMS to everyone in ER, patients and nurses and doctors didn't they smelled it, too. Of course no one smelled the smell but I was hysterical that no one seemed to smell the horrible "smell".
Fentanyl - avoid if possible but if you have to use it, don't stop it abruptly and stay with physician the whole time you are on it.
It was horrible and I had PTDS type of dreams. Awful, awful, awful time in my life. Doctor said the reaction was like a smell "hallucination".
I still cringe when I think of it and it has been at least 4 - 5 years.
Sometimes the terrible dreams still come back.

I was under the same impression.
