Peter Greene died earlier this week, and now new details have come to light about the 60-year-old actor's death.
Law enforcement sources have reportedly told TMZ that Greene had visible injuries on his body when authorities discovered his body; however, the medical examiner has yet to determine "what caused the injuries" or the matter of Greene’s death.
The veteran actor, who was best known for his villain roles in 1994's Pulp Fiction and The Mask, was found unresponsive on Friday (December 12) inside his Lower East Side apartment, when local police conducted a welfare check.
According to TMZ, residents within Greene’s apartment complex reported loud music coming from his unit for several days. Building management then contacted police, who used a locksmith to gain access to Greene’s home.
One of Green’s neighbors told The New York Daily News that the actor "was lying on the floor, facedown" with an unspecified "facial injury" and "blood everywhere." Police said foul play isn’t suspected at this time.
Greene’s longtime manager, Gregg Edwards, told The New York Post he last spoke to the actor on December 10, just two days before he was scheduled to have a benign tumor surgically removed near his lung.
"He sounded okay… It was just a totally normal conversation," Edwards recalled, adding that he, too, was preparing to go under the knife for hernia surgery.
"He was a little nervous about the operation going in, but he said it wasn’t super serious. He was talking about that and hoping that I was going to be okay and wishing me well as I was wishing him well. We’re good friends. I love the guy … We were friends for over a decade."
