Wow. No shit. Not too terribly shocking given his history, but....Hollywood is filled to the brim with junkies who manage to hang on forever. Hell, Look at Keith Richards.
For all you youngsters, he was also the kid (John Connor) in the Terminator 2 movie.

Nope, that was Edward Furlong, who has had his own serious drug problem.

He was quite a talented actor. I had a crush on him when I was younger too. I remember reading an interview with him, he was just 14, and he was already quite the rebel and unapologetic for being so. RIP
