LeVar Burton apologizes for 'insensitive' comments about death of Philip Seymour Hoffman

Actor LeVar Burton’s apology seemed to revolve mostly around this tweet yesterday, published after the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman was reported:

Damn, #PSH was SO talented! However, if Y’all should find me dead with a needle in my arm, in my underwear… please put my pants on!
