Drug dealer Michael K.

The Wire actor was tragically announced Monday after his family members found him at his Brooklyn home at around 2 p.m.

The 54-year-old’s death is being investigated as a drug overdose, and according to TMZ, the police are looking for the actor’s dealer.

An official autopsy has yet to be performed on Michael, who is best known for his role as Omar Little in the popular TV crime drama, but it appears the presence of drugs was at play at the scene.

Now, TMZ has claimed that the police are on a mission to track down the person who handled the actor with drugs.

An apparent drug overdose appears to have led to a criminal investigation as the publication claims law enforcement sources have confirmed that ‘the police are trying to locate the drug dealer’.

An inside source told TMZ: “NYPD detectives are conducting an investigation into the origins of the drug cops found at the scene of the actor’s death over the weekend.

“This is believed to be heroin dependent.”

The Mirror has contacted the Michael K. Williams estate for further comments on this story.

“It is with great sadness that the family announces the death of Emmy-nominated actor Michael Kenneth Williams.

“They are asking for your privacy while grieving this insurmountable loss,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.

Michael has enjoyed an incredibly successful career on the silver screen.

Multiple Emmy nominees have earned nods for roles in Bessie, The Night Of, When They See Us, and, this year, HBO’s Lovecraft Country.

Last week, it was announced that the actor has joined the cast of the untitled movie “Sonny,” the biopic of world heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman.

He was to play Doc Broadus, who was Foreman’s coach and mentor.

Michael K. Williams’ sad nephews pay tribute to the ‘kind and gentle’ actor.

Following Michael’s untimely death, David Simon, creator of The Wire, posted a photo of the actor to Twitter along with a heartfelt greeting.

“Too upset now to say all that has to be said. Michael was a wonderful man and a rare talent, and on our journey, he has always deserved the best words. Today those words will not come.”
