When actor Peter Green, famous for the films 'The Mask' and 'Pulp Fiction', was found dead, an unidentified note was beside him.
On the 13th (local time), U.S. outlet New York Daily News reported that a neighbor of the late Peter Green said, "Peter was lying face down on the floor, with injuries to his face and covered in blood." In particular, a suspicious handwritten note was found at the scene along with the actor's body.
The note read, "I am still Westie," referring to an Irish-American gang that operated out of Hell's Kitchen in the 1970s.
Peter Green was found unconscious at about 3:25 p.m. on the 13th in his apartment on Clinton Street in the Lower East Side and was pronounced dead at the scene, police and his manager said.
The police said there is no suspicion of homicide, but the exact cause of death will be determined by the coroner.
The deceased is survived by a 16-year-old son, Ryder. Manager Edwards said, "He was a truly wonderful man. He was genuinely one of the great actors of our generation. His heart was boundless. He will be so missed. He was a wonderful friend."
Edwards said Green was scheduled to begin filming an independent thriller called 'Mascots' next January with Mickey Rourke, and added that he informed Kerry Mondragon, who wrote and directed the film, of Green's death.
Edwards said, "The deceased worked with many great actors and directors," and added that Green's performance as gangster Dorian Tyrell in the film 'The Mask,' which starred Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz, was "perhaps his best performance."
