In an interview with The Sun, NYPD officials said,

“Michael was found dead by a relative around 2 pm today at his Kent Avenue apartment in Brooklyn. He was alone when he was discovered. Illegal paraphernalia was found in the apartment. The medical examiner is currently investigating his cause of death.”

The Boardwalk Empire actor was 54 at the time of his death. He was found dead in the living room of his Kent Avenue penthouse in Brooklyn, New York.

The cause of death is unclear, but since paraphernalia was found in his apartment, it is suspected he might have died because of an overdose.
