Sleepers Star Brad Dead At 25

The actor, who had a history of drug and alcohol abuse, was discovered at his Los Angeles home yesterday morning after spending the night with friends.

Craig Harvey, chief investigator for the Los Angeles coroner, said: "Drug overdose is a possibility considering his history, but right now all we have is the history of his drinking the previous night.

"He was last known to be alive during the morning hours and he was snoring.

"He was found unresponsive in a residence. Paramedics responded and he was pronounced dead at 9am."

An autopsy is set to be carried out today.

The Sleepers star had just finished filming new movie The Informers with WINONA RYDER and BILLY BOB THORNTON.

Director JOEL SCHMACHER discovered Brad when he was just 12, casting him in 1994 mafia thriller The Client alongside SUSAN SARANDON and TOMMY LEE JONES.
