battled with addiction, which began as a teenager, but he did remain sober for over 20 years until last year when he checked into rehab for heroin abuse. his suspected cause of death. among the many celebrities to express sympathy on twitter include recovering alcoholic, rob lowe, who writes, philip seymour hoffman s sad, untimely passing has me angry. i want more great work from him! i want less destruction from drugs and alcohol. a statement from julianne moore who says she costarred with hoffman in boogie nights, said i feel so fortunate to have known and worked with the extraordinary philip seymour hoffman and am deadly saddened by his passing. his family says we re devastated by the loss of our believed beloved phil. he actually went to the two-bedroom apartment after he and his partner of 15 years had separated in october. they live in the family s $4 million home a few blocks away. he rented this $10,000 a month
but mayor ford says he s not going anywhere. here to discuss this from new york, hln s host jane velez-mitchell, legal analyst, sunny hostin. jane, i m going to go to you and i want to talk real here. you re a recovering alcoholic. come on. this guy needs help. he needs rehab. look, as a recovering alcoholic with 18 years of sobriety, hopefully 19 year physical i get to april, i look at this and i see the incomprehensible demoralization of addiction. i don t know if he s an alcoholic and a drug addict, but the substance itself is not so important. this guy is in deep, deep, deep denia denial. you probably look at this and say how can he be in denial about having a problem when the evidence is right there on tape? but that is the insanity of addiction. you see, because when we re in our disease, our body, our soul, our mind, totally co-opted by the craving. all we want is that next drink,
