The star’s manager, Gregg Edwards, said he had been advised that music was playing in the actor’s apartment for more than 24 hours, which prompted a wellness check.

Investigators had previously revealed how a hand-written note was discovered next to the body. A mysterious message referencing a 1970s New York City gang was found next to him. The note is reported to have read “I’m still a Westie” – which is understood to be a reference to the Irish-American gang, the Westies. No other details have been revealed.
Speaking about his friend, manager Gregg Edwards said: ” Nobody played a bad guy better than Peter. But he also had, you know, a gentle side that most people never saw, and a heart as big as gold …
“He was one of the best character actors on the planet. He was a good friend who would give you the shirt off his back. He was loved and will be missed. Peter’s latest project was driven by his passion for raising awareness about the global deaths resulting from the administration’s dismantling of USAID.
In the statement, he added: “He was co-producing and served as one of the narrators for the documentary From the American People: The Withdrawal of USAID, alongside Jason Alexander and Kathleen Turner. The best way to honour him would be to help him spread the word about what is happening.”
As well as Pulp Fiction where he played Zed, he also starred in The Mask with Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz, as well as roles in Kiss & Tell (1997), The Usual Suspects (1995), Blue Streak (1999), and Training Day (2001).
