![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.

TMZ, just like a vulture.. pickin the flesh from a corpse
Thank god, I can't stand that dead piece of crap's acting. Hip, hip, hooray!!
To you losers posting your condolences: Would he have given a rat's ass about you if you had checked out today?
One of TMZ's "Paps" was hiding under his bed and heard the death gurgle.
Good. Sad for this losers family, but to feel sorry for him, no way. He had it all, and gave it away for what? Five minutes of being buzzed. I am so tired of these so called Hollywood pieces of crap. Respect your life, and the people that love you. Grow up, and just say no, to this crap. No more excuses.....
Man, that sucks! I used to think he was so hot when I was younger. He was a pretty good actor and it was cool to see someone with a southern accent in movies. RIP Brad.
46. Unless you have lived the hell of drug addiction yourself, please don't judge and condemn those who are battling it, or who have failed at their attempt. You have NO idea what it takes. It's not a matter of learning or logic or stupidity.

Amen to that! Poor guy had a lot of personal demons, but nonetheless he was a great actor. RIP, Brad.
Truly sad he was a good actor and was excellent in Bully. Another River Phoenix type story. Not as talented as River but was a good young actor, this is sad to hear.
Very sad. Hope he finds the peace in death he couldn't find in life.
