Nearly three months after the discovery of actor Peter Greene's body in his Manhattan apartment, the New York City Chief Medical Examiner's Office has delivered a final verdict.
An actor who made an unforgettable mark on cinema history as the sadistic Zed in Pulp Fiction or the charismatic Dorian in The Mask has passed away due to an unfortunate accident with a firearm.
Since December, there was speculation about various causes. However, the official report obtained by TMZ is clear. Greene's death was caused by a gunshot wound under his left armpit, which fatally hit the brachial artery. The internal and external bleeding was fatal, and the 66-year-old actor succumbed in his own apartment.
Investigators definitively ruled out foul play and intentional self-harm; the case was closed as an accident.
Bizarre Backdrop of His Tragic Exit
New information adds pieces to the puzzle of the actor's last moments, which were shrouded in a chilling atmosphere. When the police entered his Lower East Side apartment based on a wellness check, they encountered a bizarre scene. Christmas carols had been continuously playing from the apartment for several days, while the actor lay lifeless inside.
Although Greene had been less in the public eye in recent years, his career wasn't over. Before his death, he was in the process of preparing for a thriller with Mickey Rourke.
