Brad Renfro, the young actor best known for his role in the legal thriller 'The Client', has died. He was 25.
Reuters reports that Renfro was found dead in Los Angeles on Monday.
Los Angeles County Coroner's spokesman Ed Winter said that Renfro's cause of death was under investigation.
He said: "I can confirm that Brad Barron Renfro is deceased. He was found unresponsive in a residence... Paramedics responded and he was pronounced dead at 9am (Pacific Time)."
Renfro, whose other films included 'The Jacket', 'Ghost World', 'Bully' and 'Apt Pupil', had battled drug problems in recent years and pleaded guilty in 2006 to charges of trying to buy heroin.
After entering his guilty plea he was ordered into a drug treatment programme and placed on probation for three years.
