Actor Chris Penn, younger brother of Sean and best remembered as Nice Guy Eddie Cabot in Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, was found dead at his Santa Monica home yesterday. He was 40, according to police, although most reports put his age as 43.Penn’s body was discovered in bed inside his apartment, located in a four-story condominium complex near the beach, by his housekeeper. Police said they were investigating the cause of death but stated that there were no obvious signs of foul play.

“Most reports put his age as 43″? What? They don’t know how old he is? Other reports say “the cause of actor Chris Penn’s death remained undetermined after an autopsy, and the coroner’s office has ordered blood toxicology tests.”

Pretty ironic that his most recent movie project was “The Darwin Awards, a black comedy about unusual suicides, was scheduled to premiere today at the Sundance film festival.”

Come on, people die, why the mystery around Chris’ death? I mean, has anyone thought about him being just a fat junkie like the rest of the Hollywood trash?
