Actor Brad Renfro dies at 25
The cause of the actor’s death was not immediately known. Although an autopsy is planned for today or Thursday, results of a toxicology test to determine whether drugs were a factor in his death will take six to eight weeks.
The actor served 10 days in jail in May 2006 after pleading no contest to driving while intoxicated and guilty to attempted possession of heroin.
The latter charge was related to his arrest in Los Angeles’ Skid Row area, when he tried to buy heroin from an undercover officer in 2005.
Other run-ins with the law included a 1998 charge of cocaine and marijuana possession, for which he avoided jail time in a plea deal.
He was also placed on probation in January 2001 and ordered to pay $4,000 for repairs to a 45-foot (13.7-meter) yacht he and a friend tried to steal in Florida. He was ordered into an alcohol rehabilitation program in March 2002 for violating his probation in the case.
He was arrested again in May 2001 and charged with underage drinking, which violated terms of his probation.
Renfro’s lawyer, Richard Kaplan, said he did not know whether the death was connected to any problems with addiction.
“He was working hard on his sobriety,” Kaplan said. “He was doing well. He was a nice person”.
Renfro recently completed a role in “The Informers,” a film adaptation of a Bret Easton Ellis novel that stars Winona Ryder, Brandon Routh and Billy Bob Thornton.
My guess is that he was drinking and then he used Opiates and this deadly mix killed him.
Some of his Movies include The Client, Apt Pupil, Bully, Sleepers, Tom and Huck, Deuces Wild..
