River and Joaquin Phoenix
The late actor was a pretty big teen star after playing in classic movies like Stand by Me, Running on Empty and My Own Private Idaho, but at the peak of his fame (and around the time when he was said to be the lead for Basketball Diaries, a role that eventually went to Leonardo DiCaprio), Phoenix died of a drug overdose on heroin and coke. His brother, actor Joaquin, sadly, was there at the time that River collapsed from the drugs while they were at a club in Hollywood. He would later go on to have a pretty prominent acting career, including getting an Academy Award nomination for Gladiator, Walk The Line and last year’s indie hit The Master.
