He’s admitted to heroin addiction previously. Supposedly, there is a mix of heroin and Fentanyl out there. It has been causing deaths in the MD and PA areas. He may have gotten his hands on some of it.

Fentanyl is very, very powerful. A possible overdose to my elderly mother in law, sent her to the emergency room.
A relapse by an addict alcoholic is nothing to be surprised about.
But there are also many addicts/alcoholics in the entertainment world, with long term sobriety.
Sir Anthony Hopkins, Eric Clapton, Robert Downey Jr., Alice Cooper, John Williams, Sir Elton John, Ringo Starr, Bill Ward etc.
Others entertainers with sobriety have relapsed including Mel Gibson, Stephen Tyler, Nick Nolte, etc.
Too bad about Hoffman. He was among the most talented actors of this time.
