closing bell. it s down 313 points right now. apparently this is because of weak reports on u.s. factories. we covered them in january. it was a bad january. as we look at all of the bad numbers on your screen, hopefully this is not a harbinger of what is to come. back to philip seymour hoffman, he has several movies yet to be released, some still in production. a.j., what about the highly popular hunger game series? it s the most lucrative franchise in the entire movie business. not surprisingly, there s an awful lot of interest in what the impact of hoffman s death will be on production and the forthcoming films. there are reports that he had finished up on mocking jay and the studio behind the hunger
tracy helton started the documentary with the best of intentions. i don t want to be pregnant and on drugs and i don t want to have a baby on drugs at all. but about 40 minutes into the documentary, tracy is shooting up and tracy helton joins me live. you have three kids. you have earned a master s degree. at the end of this month, you will be 16 years heroin-free. congratulations to you and welcome. thanks. thanks for having me. so, with the story with philip seymour hoffman, reportedly he was 23 years sober when he slipped back into it. in your nearly 16 years recovering, did you ever have a moment or moments when you were tempted? oh, multiple moments. that s the common experience that is not talked about in recovery. when a person stops using drugs, there s the stopping drugs and staying stopped and i think one is relatively easy.
to make it more potent? yes. and if the person taking the drug gets a potency much greater than usual that can cause death and reported from the east coast. whether or not that s what happened here, the medical examiners and toxicologists will find out within a couple of days. if that ingredient was added? you re saying most heroin addicts outgrow their addiction before they re 40 years old. do they outgrow it or die from it? when i was the chief medical examiner, we did a lot of studies. about 1% of the young population who use heroin die a year. so in 20 years, about 20% of the people die. the others outgrow it. by the time they get to be 40, they can t get the funds to get the heroin. one way or other, they outgrow it. a person like hoffman, unfortunately, had enough money to keep going, so he went on until 46. doctor, thanks so much for
i did have a chance to see whether secretary kerry is keeping an open mind. she said he s. thank you, james, i appreciate you leaving that with me. i left bill just to speak with you now. i knew this day would come. fox news alert. they have found a 2,000 redford jeep liberty. local schools are on lock down. the suspect may have used the super bowl as a distraction to escape from prison. what they say about the search. plus the world is mourning the death of phillip seymore hoffman after losing his life to a heroin addiction. why it is so hard for those hooked to quit.
detoxing from drugs. but staying off drugs can be especially difficult when you have stressors in your life and a person like philip seymour hoffman would have had many stressors in his life, especially since he was so open about addiction. can you describe that whole temptation, what that feels like? i think that you get to a point where using heroin becomes a viable option again, when your emotions are overwhelming you and there s not a lot of support because there s so much stigma being around a heroin addict and you make that decision in a vacuum where you re buy yourself and you find yourself making these poor choices. in his case, using alone is the first thing he could have possibly done because there was no one to save his life, no one there to talk him out of it or support him before he made the decision. yi m curious with you, why heroin? well, i got my wisdom teeth
