"We are deeply saddened and shocked by this accident," said publicist Mara Buxbaum in a statement. "This is an extremely difficult time for his loved ones. We're asking the media to please respect the family's privacy and avoid speculation until the facts are known."

Hmm. A masseuse. Naked. Bedroom. Pills. A kick ass New York apartment. They probably should have made this death sound less fun.
