Zed’s Dead

Actor Brad Renfro, 25, was found dead at his home in Los Angeles this morning. At this time, the cause of death has yet to be determined. Hmmm…let’s take a wild stab, drugs? TMZ says:

Sources tell us Renfro, who had starring roles in “The Client” and “Apt Pupil” had been working valiantly to stay clean, especially since this summer. Renfro had been convicted of several drug offenses, including attempted heroin possession. Renfro had been filming a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton. The movie, “The Informers,” just wrapped. Renfro has had a rough time personally since moving from Tennessee to Los Angeles. His parents split, and we’re told he did not have real guidance from adults as he tried navigating the treacherous movie industry.

Since this isn’t 1607 and Brad Renfro wasn’t in his house fighting starvation and wily savages, it seems pretty reasonable that a seemingly healthy 25 male wouldn’t just drop dead out of the blue. Unless of course they loved heroin. Like Brad Renfro did. I’m not a doctor, but I’ve heard that heroin can make you do some crazy stuff, man. Like die, for instance.
