«He sounded normal… It was a completely ordinary conversation», - said Green’s manager, Greg Edwards, to the New York Post. Edwards noted that they had communicated on December 10, discussing the star’s upcoming surgery for «Pulp Fiction». «He was a bit nervous before the surgery, but he said it wasn’t very serious… He talked about it and hoped that I would be okay, just as I wished him good luck».
Here’s what we know about Green’s health and the circumstances of his shocking death.

Additionally, a sinister handwritten note was found at the scene, reading: «I am still Westy». This term refers to an Irish-American organized crime group from Hell’s Kitchen in New York during the 1970s.
