Four people were being questioned in connection with drugs found at the home of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman following his death, CNN reported on Tuesday evening, citing unidentified law enforcement officials.


A New York Police Department spokesman told Reuters that four people had been taken into custody at an address in the city and that a quantity of narcotics recovered, but declined to confirm that the arrests were related to Hoffman's death.


The Oscar-winning actor was found at his Manhattan apartment on Sunday in what police sources have said was an apparent drug overdose. He was 46.
