Brad Renfro Dies

TMZ has learned actor Brad Renfro is dead.

The 25-year-old actor was found dead at his Los Angeles home this morning. The cause of death has not been determined, however, Renfro had a history of drug abuse.

Sources tell us Renfro, who had starring roles in "The Client" and "Apt Pupil" had been working valiantly to stay clean, especially since this summer. Renfro had been convicted of several drug offenses, including attempted heroin possession.

Renfro had been filming a movie with Winona Ryder and Billy Bob Thornton. The movie, "The Informers," just wrapped.

Renfro has had a rough time personally since moving from Tennessee to Los Angeles. His parents split, and we're told he did not have real guidance from adults as he tried navigating the treacherous movie industry.

I seriously thought Brad Renfro was the name of the oldest kid from Home Improvement.

Regardless, thats super sad. Thoughts go out to the family.

It was most likely from a heart attack.

The guy did more drugs than Belushi.

His body had to give out sooner or later.

Well, it was Brad Taylor, but you had the first name right.

This is too sad when people die this young, even if it was because of drugs. I believe he was Huck Finn in "Tom and Huck"....

Not surprising...another young star gone to drug abuse.

It's sad to say the least.
