Another sad case of an actor dying way too young

http://www.tmz.com/2008/01/15/brad-renfro-dies/

TMZ has learned actor Brad Renfro is dead.

The 25-year-old actor was found dead at his Los Angeles home this morning. The cause of death has not been determined, however, Renfro had a history of drug abuse.

Sources tell us Renfro, who had starring roles in "The Client" and "Apt Pupil" had been working valiantly to stay clean, especially since this summer. Renfro had been convicted of several drug offenses, including attempted heroin possession.

end of quote

Renfro was quite an actor. Just like River Pheonix he died way too young and due to drugs. But for the grace of God go I. Rest in peace Brad.

2. I saw that - very sad

I remember a few years ago when he was hailed as the next big thing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

3. That's sad.

He had such promise in "Apt Pupil".
