Justin Theroux, Joaquin Phoenix, Ethan Hawke and Bobby Cannavale were among the famous faces who stopped by Mimi O'Donnell's New York City home on Tuesday following the death of her longtime boyfriend, Philip Seymour Hoffman.
A funeral for late Oscar winner will be held in New York later in the month, and a rep for Hoffman added in a statement:
- "In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made in Phil's name to two charities that were very close to his heart: the DreamYard Project and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. The family wishes to thank everyone for their continued support and good wishes."
Hoffman's body was discovered in the bathroom of his West Village apartment on Sunday after an apparent heroin overdose. New York police have arrested four people suspected of having a connection to the drugs found in Hoffman's apartment, and according to the New York Post, Robert Vineberg, 57, and Thomas Kushman, 48, were arrested and charged with felony drug possession. Max Rosenblum and Juliana Luchkiw, both 22, also were arrested and charged with misdemeanor drug possession. The four were reportedly arrested in an apartment on Mott Street after police received a tip that the drugs found in Hoffman's apartment came from the Chinatown building.
Hoffman is survived by O'Donnell and the couple's three children, son Cooper and daughters Tallulah and Willa.
