Actor Peter Greene, best known for his roles in Pulp Fiction and The Mask, was found dead in his New York apartment last week at the age of 60.
Law enforcement sources say Greene’s body showed visible injuries, but the cause of those injuries remains undetermined as investigations continue.
An official cause of death has yet to be released by the Medical Examiner’s office.
Greene was discovered face down inside his Lower East Side apartment on December 12, where reports described the scene as bloody and distressing.
A neighbor told local media that there was blood throughout the apartment and that Greene appeared to have sustained a facial injury.
Authorities have not confirmed whether the injuries were self-inflicted, accidental, or the result of foul play.
Adding to the mystery, a handwritten note was reportedly found at the scene reading, “I’m still a Westie,” a reference to a 1970s Irish-American gang from Hell’s Kitchen.
Greene had previously spoken openly about his struggles with substance abuse and a past suicide attempt, which quickly became part of the online speculation surrounding his death.
However, those close to him say that narrative does not reflect his state of mind in the days leading up to his passing.
Greene’s former manager Gregg Edwards told Page Six that the actor showed no signs of being suicidal and was in good spirits just two days before he was found.
Friends also shared that Greene was actively making New Year’s Eve plans and looking forward to celebrating with close companions.
New York actor and musician Skam Dust said Greene had been planning a night out with friends and described him as hopeful, not distressed.
As investigations continue, the lack of confirmed details has created a familiar pattern in celebrity deaths, where uncertainty quickly turns into speculation.
