Page Six reported that it reached out to Greene’s representative and the NYPD for comment, but no response has been confirmed.

A neighbor who spoke to the New York Daily News described the scene inside Greene’s apartment as graphic.

“There was blood everywhere,” the neighbor said. The neighbor also claimed that a handwritten note was discovered at the scene alongside Greene’s body.

According to the neighbor, the note read: “I’m still a Westie,” a reference to the Irish-American gang that operated in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood during the 1970s.

Authorities have not confirmed the note’s significance or whether it is connected to Greene’s death.

Greene, a New York native, appeared in numerous films and television productions throughout his career, including his portrayal of Zed in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

He was also known for roles in The Mask, Training Day, and Laws of Attraction.

The actor had previously spoken publicly about his struggles with drug addiction and a past suicide attempt. However, those close to Greene have said they saw no signs that he was suicidal in the days leading up to his death.

Gregg Edwards, Greene’s former manager, told Page Six that the actor appeared to be in a positive frame of mind shortly before he died.

“Not at all,” Edwards said when asked whether Greene had seemed suicidal. Edwards added that Greene was in “good spirits on Wednesday,” just two days before he was found dead.

Friends also stated that Greene had been actively making plans for the upcoming holidays. New York-based actor and musician Skam Dust said Greene was planning to spend New Year’s Eve with him and others.

“He was going to rent a truck limousine, and Peter’s vision was that we were going to go bar hopping and restaurant hopping. He wasn’t suicidal,” Skam Dust said.

He added that the plans included spending time with Danny Diablo, also known as Lord Ezec, and graffiti writer MQ.

Investigators have not announced whether the death is being treated as suspicious, and no arrests have been made.

The Medical Examiner’s findings are expected to play a key role in determining the circumstances surrounding Greene’s death.

As of now, the investigation remains ongoing, with authorities awaiting toxicology results and further forensic analysis.
