New York police have arrested four people suspected of having a connection to the drugs found in the home of Philip Seymour Hoffman, two days after the actor died of an apparent overdose.According to multiple US reports, law-enforcement officials carried out a raid on Tuesday night. Three men — two in their 50s and one in his 20s — and a woman in her 20s were detained and questioned. They are suspected of supplying the heroin that killed the 46-year-old star.

The body of the Oscar-winning actor was found shortly after 11.30am on Sunday. He was the victim of an apparent drug overdose.
A private funeral service is scheduled to take place in Sunday in New York City, and plans are underway for a memorial service, also in New York, later this month.
