police blowin up the spot cause this guy over used his drugs??

(Reuters) - Four people were arrested on Tuesday in connection with drugs found at the home of film star Philip Seymour Hoffman following his death of an apparent heroin overdose, the New York Daily News reported, citing unidentified police sources.

The arrests came during a raid on a building in the Chinatown district of Manhattan after police traced the heroin believed to have killed the Oscar-winning actor there, the newspaper reported.

A New York City Police Department spokesman told Reuters that officers found narcotics at the building in Chinatown and four people were arrested. He declined to confirm that the arrests were related to Hoffman's death.

A second police spokesman told Reuters on Tuesday evening that heroin found in Hoffman's apartment following his death was not cut or mixed with fentanyl, a synthetic narcotic believed by health authorities to be responsible for scores of overdose deaths in recent months.

"There was no fentanyl found in the drugs," the spokesman said.

The 46-year-old actor was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor of his Manhattan apartment on Sunday by police responding to an emergency 911 call.

Police found Hoffman with a syringe in his arm and recovered plastic bags containing a substance believed to be heroin. Law enforcement sources have told Reuters that he died of an apparent drug overdose.

Preliminary results of an autopsy were expected to be released on Wednesday.

Seems weird that the police were so quickly able to trace down the source of the dope. If it was that easy(which it was), why hadn't they shut the source down already?

because there is probably 5000 sources and they tend to go after the ones that kill people first even if it was his fault.
I saw people bitching because the cops did that but they always act faster if a white dies like this

I see what you are saying, a high-profile death = need to arrest people. But you see what I'm saying right? They were able to go directly to the source of the junk simply by the logo on the dope sacks. And it doesn't appear a huge squad of cops were needed to bust the ring of 4.
