It Was Heroin
Filed under: R.I.P.
The toxicology results are in!
Actor Brad Renfro's death is being ruled an overdose as a result of too much heroin consumption.
Sad.
The cause of death was "acute heroin/morphine intoxication," and the drugs were injected, according to the coroner's office.
The death was ruled an accident.

RIP Brad!
You were so funny as the little boy in ' Jerry Macguire'.
You'll be missed so much.
wow havent seen this guy in forever…. when did he die?
who is he?
:LOL a dead crackhead
Perez…you fucking suck….why the fuck would you use a mugshot of him instead of one of the millions of beautiful pictures???? I am not even that big of a fan but I am shocked that you continue to use the most humiliating picture he ever took in his life knowing that he died a tragic death. SHAME ON YOU and I hope you get arrested soon so we can do the same to you after you die.
Addiction is a terrible disease. This does not change my opinions of Brad! He was a talented actor and musician! I will always be a fan of his! He will always be remembered!!!
Love you Brad! Rest in peace!
hugs. not drugs.
if it's true, as the Los Angeles Coroner is supposed to have said, that he got a large tattoo on his back two days before he died saying "Fuck All Y'all" it makes me wonder if it was an accident. That is a quote from an Ice Cube record called "Better Off Dead", and it's Ice Cube's reply to the question, "(have) you got any last words?"
For those who come here degrading the reputation of someone who's gone because you feel compelled to judge him as a result of his addictions, you CANNOT make the sweeping assumption that an addict is somehow inferior to your existence and deserves his fate. Your behavior is not only in poor taste, but shows your complete lack of empathy towards another fellow human being. Yes, Brad Renfro suffered from drug abuse problems throughout his life, but that doesn't warrant your insensitivity or cruel comments. To say that someone deserves to die because they either made one bad choice or came to depend on substances as a form of coping mechanism is both nonsensical and inhumane. Brad Renfro was an amazing person and an amazing actor. He had the ability to captivate movie goers with each and every one of his characters. He gave it his all as an actor, and his legacy should be that of a talented young actor gone too soon. Irregardless, he was someone's son, brother, cousin, father. Let's not forget this.
So while I will be mourning the death of Heath Ledger with the rest of the world, as he was a great actor who's life was tragically cut short far too soon, I will be saddened by Brad Renfro's death for years to come. Regardless of the lack of media coverage of his death, and regardless of the many nasty comments certain people feel compelled to leave, he will always be the talented gifted actor who gave us so much, and whom I will never forget.
Re: Trin –
It wasn't an intentional overdose. He was a heroin addict and needed a fix.
Why is that so hard to understand? They base that conclusion on the AMT of the drug ingested.
maybe ASTRO from the Jetson's does the editing.
Thank you Perez for not writing anything mean on his photo.
more sad than most, never willl there be another tom and huck

i'm so pissed that this happened to such a great actor
May have been an accident, but it's still his fault.
All those people saying Heath Ledger deserved to die (even though he wasn't a druggie!) better not start defending this prick.
Do drugs and you'll wind up dead, simple as that.
Looks like Derek from Road Rules/Gauntlet/Inferno.
Re: laur – Are you for real !!! Any drug that people use can cause death thats why I say No to drugs. He overdosed because he wanted to feel the way heid the first time he did it, you are allways chasing the feeling you feel the first time. that is why he overdosed!!!!!!!!
so sad
Re: CYBERBMP – Re: CYBERBMP – i agree with you; maybe we should do a better job at teaching kids that any drug you take can cause death. i smoke cigarettes so basically i'm killing myself very slowly.
Drugs Kill.
Re: Caitlin – ….amen hon
It doesn't matter, Brad will always be one of my favorites, in life and in death. It's sad that he never got away from the things that troubled him, but @ least he's safe now. ♥
our dear perez, is this the only foto of this great actor ? Like a prison face ?
So sad. We can't judge him and u have a lot of our dearest HL.
Maybe perezes decision to use a mugshot was one made with the intention of showing the depths people with substance addiction problems are dragged down to and the unglamorous reality of it all?
Hard to know how that mans mind works…
Still, what an nice looking fella, and first and foremost , what a talented actor he was. very sad indeed
.
For one thing, YES it is incredibly disrespectful for you t obe using his mugshot, he had a lot of better photos, use one of them. AND to all you people that are badmouthing Brad, shame on you! If you didn't know who he was, look him up and rent some of his films, he was a very talented actor!
I am glad, however, that Perez reported this, I was so curious as to what actually happened, and have been checking the net a lot lately. Thanks Perez, but choose a different picture!
ACCIDENT???HAHAHAHAHAHA.ANOTHER JUNKIE IN THE TRASH.BURN IN HELL AND SAY HELLO TO HEATH FOR US…..BITCH.
You people are far too judgmental. This guy had a family and friends who cared about him. Ever think about how his death affects them? Have a little compassion. Sometimes I wonder about perez readers. Between the "FIRST" comments and the ignorance you people spew.. What in the world?
He was someones son, brother, nephew, cousin and someones FATHER. Have some compassion, you haters!
People who do drugs– do it to avoid pain. Some have mental illness. Some have suffered major trauma in their life. I suppose he was just trying to escape his demons. Let him RIP and stop calling him names - it doesn't make you prettier, smarter or better …in fact, it just makes you the opposite of those things.

Not surprising, but sad nevertheless.
An accident? Hmmmmm "I'm gunna walk around for a while and see if i can find anything to do, OOOOPppps! I fell, and Oh MY GAWD! There's a needle in my arm! Some……" (que thud and splat sounds)
How the fk do you say that shooting up morphine and heroine is an accident? Readers who believe that must be stoned themselves! ROFL
Good, another hollywood liberal takes himself out of my genepool through his own stupidity. Good riddance
Dear Nakira, you're a fucking dick!
If you'd bothered to watch renfro's films or even seen him interviewed you maybe wouldnt come out with such unfunny, dumb shit. Or maybe you would!? who knows, just by your comment its kind of obvious you're a narrow minded imbred. Life isn't as simple and clean as you wished it was, people have problems, have some empathy cunt face. He was talented, he died too early, you on the other hand will die too late. Now shut the fuck up! If we had it my way, people like you wouldn't exist. Stick your 'ROLF' comments up your ass and get your facts straight, you dumb bitch.
He was a great guy and we all miss him. I wish people would remember him for more than just his problems with drugs. And it would be nice if you would stop using his mug shot. totally classless and disturbing to his friends.
What a waste. he was amazing.
