What a terrible thing for his family, especially his children, to have to endure right now!  It really pisses me off to see people bring innocent children into the world and THEN decide that maybe the life they are leading is "a lie".  It really screws the kids up!

I guess it gets to me so much because that happened to a friend of mine.  Her and her husband waited nine years to have children, and then when they had two toddlers - he decides he doesn't want to be married anymore.  The kids are grown now and totally screwed up, raised by a single mother and an absent father.  I have a few gay friends that tell me it is very common for "married" men to frequent the gay bars where they hang out.  Make up your mind before you bring children into the world people!!!

--- Quote ---Philip Seymour Hoffman’s tragic last days
By Lorena Mongelli, Kevin Sheehan and Kate Sheehy
February 5, 2014 | 8:41am

The timeline of events leading to Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death:

Jan. 24: Hoffman attends an 8:30 p.m. meeting for drug addicts and alcoholics at the Perry Street Workshop in Greenwich Village. He tells people there that he’s doing “OK.”

Last week: He takes his kids to Pizzetteria Brunetti on Hudson Street, where “he was having a ball . . . He was just goofing off with them, and they were cracking up,’’ said owner Jason Brunetti. But Alin Laurent, owner of La Ripaille down the block, said she spotted the star on the street another time and, “He looked down; he wasn’t smiling.’’

10: 30 p.m. Thursday: Hoffman has dinner with a female pal at La Bonbonniere diner on Eighth Avenue in the West Village. “I’d never seen him so happy. He had a cheeseburger deluxe, and he was showing the lady all the pictures I have of him on my wall. He was even singing, ‘La la la,’ when he paid,’’ said manager Marina Corte.

Friday night: Hoffman heads to the Highlands pub on West 10th Street with three friends, two men and a woman. “He looked normal. He just looked overweight,’’ a customer said. The actor’s personal assistant, Isabella Wing-Davey, stops by her boss’ Bethune Street apartment. She later told cops she didn’t notice anything amiss, CNN said.

Saturday morning: Hoffman goes to the Chocolate Bar on Eighth Avenue for his regular four-shot espresso over ice with a splash of milk, appearing fine. A short while later, he meets a few people for brunch at The Standard hotel.

1:30 p.m.: Wing-Davey chats with him on the phone. There was nothing out of the ordinary, she told cops.

2 p.m.: Hoffman sees estranged longtime girlfriend Mimi O’Donnell on the street near their separate homes. She later told cops he appeared OK.

3 p.m.: The actor is spotted by a neighbor catching a smoke in front of D’Agostino’s. “I stopped and said, ‘How’s it going, boss?’ He said, “I’m good,’ ” said Steve Yanovski.

5 p.m.: Paul Pabst, executive producer of the syndicated, sports-themed “Dan Patrick Show’’ and his family see Hoffman walking down Greenwich Street toward Bethune bundled up in a puffy coat, and after they say hello, he gives a high-five to Pabst’s sister. But Pabst and his family later discussed how “out of it’’ he seemed.

Later that evening: Hoffman has what appears to be a business dinner with two people at Automatic Slims on Washington Street.

Just after 8 p.m.: The actor withdraws $1,200 from the ATM machine at D’Agostino’s on Greenwich Street with two drug couriers standing next to him. Cops said he gave the dealers $1,000.

10 p.m.: He talks with O’Donnell by phone. She later told cops he sounded high.

Sunday, 9 a.m.: Hoffman fails to show up for scheduled visit with his kids at O’Donnell’s pad.

11 a.m.: O’Donnell calls Wing-Davey and asks her to check on him.

11:15 a.m.: Wing-Davey and a friend, screenwriter David Bar Katz, find Hoffman dead in the bathroom.

11:36 a.m.: 911 is called.

11:45 a.m.: The actor is pronounced dead.

They found him at 11:15 and didn't call the police until 11:36?  What took so long?

I saw a picture of him on Hannity last night - taken by a passenger on a flight from Atlanta to New York - he was stoned and slumped over in his seat the entire flight.
