Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead on his bathroom floor Sunday night, with two bags of what is believed to be heroin beside him. If Hoffman did, as suspected, die of a drug overdose, he is one of an estimated 105 people who die every day from that cause. In 29 states, drug overdoses now kill more people than auto accidents. And use of heroin has more than doubled, over the past decade, while overdoses of legal opiates — painkillers — have skyrocketed.
