![Bobbi Kristina Hospitalized -- Whitney Houston's Daughter Rushed to the Hospital [UPDATE]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/13/0213-whitney-hero-2-248x127.jpg)
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.

The difference between the two of you is that you're not a public figure and nobody cares about you.
Perhaps this is the other side of the Hollywood drug pandemic--Renfro was not a club-hopping media whore the way some other chemically dependant stars are. Drug (and alcohol) addictions are horrible diseases that, for many, are impossible to beat. To be gone at such a young age is very tragic, maybe even more so when you've got so much to offer to the world.
Say what?! I used to have a big crush on him when I was little. 25 is so young to go. My condolences.
What is so sad and tragic about this douche throwing his life away. if you ask me he did the world a favor by saving oxygen for the rest of us.
