 Coroner says he died of acute mixed drug intoxication 
  
 Dr. Sanjay Gupta says chronic drug users may not necessarily feel effects of drugs 
  
 Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was found dead February 2 on the bathroom floor of his New York apartment with a syringe in his left arm, died of acute mixed drug intoxication, including heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepines and amphetamine, the New York medical examiner's office said Friday. 
  
 The manner of death was ruled an accident, the medical examiner's office said in a statement. 
  
 Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, said that as addicts take mixtures of drugs more chronically, they may not necessarily feel the effects of the narcotics, which still suppress the respiratory system. 
  
 "They're not feeling it, but it's still having an impact on their ability to breathe, and that's the real problem," he said. "It's called stacking. You can stack the same drug too close together, or you can start to stack other drugs, one on top of the other. That's how people get into trouble. They do call it accidental death as well." 
  
 Police found nearly 50 envelopes branded "Ace of Spades" filled with what they believe was heroin in the actor's Manhattan apartment, two law enforcement sources familiar with the inquiry said.

Solution:
New York's medical examiner has confirmed that Philip Seymour Hoffman died of an accidental drug overdose. But it wasn't just heroin in the 46-year-old's system, as earlier reported. Toxicology results conducted after the first inconclusive autopsy also found cocaine, benzodiazepines, and amphetamine, reports the Daily News. The official verdict: "acute mixed drug intoxication" for the actor, who died with a syringe in his arm. The AP defines benzodiazepines as psychoactive drugs, including Librium. This kind of drug mixing sometimes prevents addicts from realizing that they're heading for respiratory trouble, says Sanjay Gupta at CNN. "They're not feeling it, but it's still having an impact on their ability to breathe, and that's the real problem," he says. "It's called stacking. You can stack the same drug too close together, or you can start to stack other drugs, one on top of the other. That's how people get into trouble."
