Philip Seymour Hoffman's funeral was today.
According to NYC police chief Bill Bratton, his death is not a criminal investigation.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said the search for the dealer who sold Hoffman the lethal dose was continuing — although he noted it was not a criminal investigation.
“We’re dealing with a death,” Bratton said Friday. “It is, I would emphasize, not a narcotics investigation ... but rather the investigation of a death.”

The autopsy results of Philip Seymour Hoffman are inconclusive. Authorities say further tests are needed to determine the cause of death.
My translation: He had multiple substances in his system and they can't say for sure whether any specific substance or combination caused his death.
The four people arrested last night have been charged with misdemeanor or felony drug possession. While one, a musician, knew Hoffman, it's not at all clear he was the source of Hoffman's heroin. The drugs seized during the search of their apartments did not have the markings found on the bags at Hoffman's apartment. Also, the heroin found at Hoffman's house did not contain Fentanyl.
The stepdaughter of arrestee Robert Vineberg, a jazz musician, said he hadn't seen Hoffman since November.
