The Wire actor Michael K. Williams was found dead of a suspected drug overdose in his Brooklyn penthouse Monday afternoon, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
Drug paraphernalia was found in the five-time Emmy nominees apartment, suggesting the acclaimed 54-year-old actor may have fatally ODd, possibly from heroin or fentanyl, sources said.
No foul play indicated, a police source said. No forced entry, the apartment was in order.
Williams was found dead by his nephew in the living room of his Kent Avenue pad in the luxury Williamsburg high-rise, sources said.
