Brad Renfro
Actor Brad Renfro has died at age 25, PEOPLE has confirmed.
Renfro died Tuesday at a Los Angeles apartment where he spent the night with friends, Craig Harvey, chief investigator for the Los Angeles county coroner, tells PEOPLE.
Renfro was heard snoring overnight, but found not breathing later Tuesday morning, and the friends called 911. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene at about 9 a.m., Harvey says.
A cause of death was not immediately determined, but Renfro had a history of drug problems.
Drug overdose is a "possibility considering his history, but right now all we have is the history of his drinking the previous night," Harvey says. "All that we have is that he was last known to be alive during the morning hours and he was snoring."
The actor, who starred in The Client and Apt Pupil, had recently completed a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton.
Discovered at Age 12
Film director Joel Schumacher discovered Renfro at age 12 and cast him in the 1994 John Grisham movie The Client (which also starred Susan Sarandon and Tommy Lee Jones). The following year, PEOPLE named the young screen hopeful one of its "Top 30 Under 30." The actor's other credits include Tom and Huck, Ghost World and Deuces Wild.
But Renfro had a troubled life off-screen, going back to 1997 when he was sentenced to two years of probation after he tried to steal a yacht.
In 2005, Renfro was busted again, this time in a police sting in which he was charged with a felony count of attempting to possess heroin. In a separate incident, he was charged with a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence and two counts of driving with a suspended license.
In January 2006, he entered a rehab program. At the time, Renfro's attorney, Richard Kaplan, told the Los Angeles Times that his client was doing well and "looks forward to doing whatever is necessary to take care of his personal and legal issues." Renfro eventually plead guilty to the heroin charge and was sentenced to three years' probation.
Most recently, in June 2007 Renfro was found to have violated his probation by not enrolling in a long-term drug treatment program. A judge warned him that if he violated probation two more times, he could be sentence to a live-in rehab program or to jail time.

25岁的好莱坞青年演员布拉德·雷弗洛，两天前被发现死于他在洛杉矶的寓所中。尽管目前死亡原因尚未查明，但据知情人士透露，这可能与其此前吸食毒品过量有着密切的关系。雷弗格长期以来一直被酗酒和吸毒困扰，前年五月，他曾因醉酒驾车和身藏海洛因而被判10天监禁。
英年早逝的布拉德·雷弗洛，堪称又一个在好莱坞浮华世界急剧堕落的童星代表。出生于1982年7月25日的雷弗洛，早在十岁时，就被大导演乔- 舒马赫发现，在惊悚片《致命内幕》中与奥斯卡影帝影后——汤米-李-琼斯和苏珊-萨兰登大演对手戏，立即受到好莱坞的关注。此后又在《真情世界》、《幽灵世界》、《新汤姆历险记》等诸多影片中表现出卓越演技，12年前曾入选《人物》杂志的“30岁以下最受瞩目的30人”。
雷弗洛最近一部作品是与薇诺娜-赖德、比利-鲍伯-桑顿合演的《告密人》，可惜未等影片上映，便猝然离世。
