Arrests follow star’s death
Four people were arrested in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday evening with more than 350 bags of heroin as part of the investigation into the death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, authorities said. Investigators executed search warrants in three apartments in a building in Manhattan. Three men and a woman were arrested, and the investigators recovered the bags of heroin inside the apartments. None of the people arrested have been charged with the sale of drugs, and a firm connection to Hoffman has not been established, officials said. Hoffman died Sunday in an apparent heroin overdose. An initial exam of Hoffman was completed Wednesday, the office of the chief medical examiner said, but a determination as to the cause of death had yet to be made pending toxicology tests.

Allegations divide Farrows
Woody Allen’s adopted son is defending the filmmaker against accusations that the director molested then-7-year-old daughter, Dylan Farrow, in 1992. Moses Farrow tells People magazine that Allen ‘‘of course’’ did not molest Moses’s younger sister Dylan. Moses and Dylan were both adopted by Allen and actress Mia Farrow. Farrow’s accusation that Allen had molested Dylan came during a bitter custody fight. Allen was never charged with a crime. Dylan Farrow recently wrote an open letter to The New York Times detailing the alleged abuse. Moses Farrow, 36, says Dylan should not go through life with the ‘‘false impression’’ that Allen molested her. (AP)
