FAMOUS Hollywood actor, Michael K. Williams, was found dead of a suspected heroin overdose in his Brooklyn penthouse on Monday, September 6.
“The Wire’’ star, 54, was discovered unconscious in the dining room of his luxury Williamsburg pad with what appeared to be heroin on the kitchen table, sources said.
His nephew found him around 2 p.m., and the acclaimed TV star was officially pronounced dead at 2:12 p.m.
“No foul play indicated,” a police source said. “No forced entry, the apartment was in order.”
Williams had been open about his personal struggles with drugs through the years, including during the filming of “The Wire,” saying that getting so into the role of Little, who robs drug dealers, affected him in real life.
