Actor Peter Greene was lying ‘face down’ on the floor with ‘blood everywhere’ when police found him dead: report
Actor Peter Greene was reportedly discovered lying “face down” on the floor with a strange note when police found him dead on Friday.
“Peter was lying on the floor, facedown, facial injury, blood everywhere…” a neighbor described of the gruesome scene to New York Daily News.
The outlet additionally reported that a strange handwritten note was found on the scene along with the actor’s body.
“I’m still a Westie,” it read, referring to the 1970s Irish-American gang that operated out of Hell’s Kitchen.
A rep for Greene did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Greene was pronounced dead on Friday after he was found unresponsive in his Lower East Side apartment on Clinton Street around 3:25 p.m. He was 60.
Police told The Post that no foul play was suspected, but that a cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner.
Greene was the father of a 16-year-old son, Ryder.
The “Pulp Fiction” star’s death was confirmed by his longtime manager, Gregg Edwards, who remembered the late actor as a “terrific guy” in a statement to the outlet.
“Truly one of the great actors of our generation. His heart was as big as there was. I’m going to miss him. He was a great friend,” he said.
It appears Greene’s death came as a surprise to Edwards and others around him as he was originally scheduled to film with Mickey Rourke on an independent thriller called “Mascots.”
Upon learning of the actor’s passing, Edwards said the film’s writer-director, Kerry Mondragón, was “very upset.”
“He worked with so many amazing actors and directors,” Edwards added, citing Greene’s performance as mobster Dorian Tyrell opposite Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz in “The Mask” as “arguably his best role.”
His additional credits include “Laws of Gravity,” “Clean, Shaven,” “Blue Streak” and “Training Day.”
