Philip Seymour Hoffman's death has been a great shocker to Hollywood earlier this year, but what's also shocking is that none of his children will inherit his millions of fortune.
'The Hunger Games' actor was found dead on February 2 of this year in his New York apartment. The actor was reportedly found dead in the bathroom floor of his apartment wearing his shorts and shirt while a hypodermic needle was sticking out of his left arm. Based on the toxicological test results, it was revealed that the actor died of acute mixed drug intoxication after several traces of substances which included heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepines and amphetamines were all found in his system.
The actor's body has been found by his friend and screenwriter David Katz along with another female friend at around 11 A.M. that day. It was also revealed that before Philip Seymour Hoffman's death, the Academy Award-winner tried to contact Katz twice that night, but his friend failed to respond to his text messages and just found him a day later. The actor previously had trouble with addiction and even entered himself into a rehab program in May after having a relapse with heroin.
What's even more surprising after Philip Seymour Hoffman's death is the recent news that his three kids will not be entitled to any of his fortune. According to the recent reports, the father of three refused to turn his children into a trust fund kids. The news was revealed by his former attorney and his children's legal guardian, James Cahill.
Although the lawyer suggested the idea for several times, the actor refused to do so as he left his entire fortune of $35 million to Mimi O'Donell, his partner as he believed that Mimi would continue to take care of their children. It was also said that the will was already written before Philip Seymour Hoffman's death and was just updated when his first child was born.
