Brad Renfro Dead at 25

Brad Renfro is dead, reports TMZ.

The 25-year-old actor, who has had a history of drug abuse, was found dead at his Los Angeles home this morning.

He just wrapped the film The Informers costarring Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton.

Cause of death has not been determined.

Via Wiki: Renfro has gone on to act in several well-regarded films in his adulthood including 2001′s Ghost World and Bully and 2005′s The Jacket with Keira Knightley and Adrien Brody. In 1995 he won Hollywood Reporter‘s “Young Star” award and was nominated as one of People‘s “Top 30 Under 30.”

UPDATE: Craig Harvey, chief investigator for the Los Angeles county coroner, told People that drug overdose is “obviously it’s a possibility considering his history, but right now all we have is the history of his drinking the previous night. All that we have is that he was last known to be alive during the morning hours and he was snoring.”
