The cause of actor Peter Greene's death has been officially determined as an 'accident' by New York's Chief Medical Examiner. Greene, 60, was discovered in his Lower East Side apartment on December 12, with visible injuries. The examiner specified the cause as a 'gunshot wound of left axilla with injury of brachial artery.'
Authorities were alerted after neighbors reported prolonged loud music emanating from Greene's residence. A welfare check led officers to his apartment, where he was found deceased. A handwritten note, apparently referencing the 'Westies' gang, was also discovered. Greene, known for his roles in "Pulp Fiction" and "The Mask," had a history of overcoming personal struggles.
Greene was slated to begin production on independent thrillers "Mascots" and "State of Confusion" in January and late fall 2026, respectively. His manager remembered him as a 'terrific guy' with a 'heart as big as there was,' acknowledging his perfectionism as an actor. Greene, who grew up in New Jersey and New York, had previously battled addiction and faced legal issues.
