Mimi O'Donnell Philip Seymour Hoffman Girlfriend and Children [PHOTOS]: Grief Stricken after Sudden Death of Actor from Alleged Drug Overdose
The longtime girlfriend of Philip Seymour Hoffman is said to be absolutely devastated by his sudden and tragic death, a source told ShowBiz Spy.
"Mimi is inconsolable. He had his problems, but she thought he was on the road to recovery following his rehab stint. Mimi already had a tough few days, after the recent hoax that claimed Philip had died. She will have to stay strong for the sake of the kids."

A friend of Hoffman, screenwriter David Bar Katz, and an unnamed female friend found the Oscar-winning actor in dead and in his underwear in his apartment early Sunday after he never showed up to pick up he and O'Donnel'l's three children. They immediately called police. A needle was also in his arm.
A police officer said, "He was shooting up in the bathroom."
After authorities scanned the apartment they found a total of eight empty glassine envelopes. Five were thrown in a garbage can while the other two were under the bed and one placed on the table.
A female neighbor of O'Donnell said that he was a "troubled soul" and did not seem okay in his last days.
"He did not look well recently-- like he was out of it. I think him and his woman friend were off and on. He lived down here for a long time and was well liked, but everyone kew he had substance-abuse problems."
Hoffman's relative also said, "We're just really devastated that this could happen."
Hoffman was 46-years-old.
