Pulp Fiction Actor Peter Greene’s Cause Of Death Revealed And It’s Quite Bizarre

The cause of death of Pulp Fiction actor Peter Greene has been released.

Two months after Greene was found dead in his New York City apartment, the New York Chief Medical Examiner has released the cause of his death.

According to the report, Greene was accidentally shot in the armpit.

People provided further details from the Medical Examiner’s notes:

Peter Greene’s cause of death has been revealed, two months after he was found dead in his New York City apartment on Friday, Dec. 12.

New York’s Chief Medical Examiner office said Wednesday, Feb. 18, that Greene, who was 60, died of a “gunshot wound of left axilla with injury of brachial artery.” (The axilla is the armpit.) The manner of death was deemed an “accident.”

Greene’s death was first reported by the New York Daily News. His manager Gregg Edwards confirmed he was found dead in his apartment in a statement obtained by PEOPLE Dec. 13.

Edwards told NBC News that a wellness check was conducted at Greene’s home after music was heard playing in his apartment for over 24 hours. He had spoken with the actor earlier in the week.

“Nobody played a bad guy better than Peter,” Edwards told the outlet. “But he also had, you know, a gentle side that most people never saw, and a heart as big as gold.”

TMZ made the assumption that Greene was the one who accidentally shot himself:

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in New York City tells us Peter’s official cause of death is a gunshot wound of the left axilla with injury of the brachial artery … and the manner of death has been classified as an accident.

In other words, Peter accidentally shot himself in the left armpit, and the bullet damaged the artery that supplies blood to the arm, elbow, forearm, and hand.

As you know … Greene was found dead in his Manhattan apartment in mid-December after a neighbor heard music coming from his apartment all night and called the police when they knocked on the door, and no one answered. Police conducted a welfare check and found Greene deceased.

Greene was best known for villainous roles in Pulp Fiction (1994) and in The Mask (1994).
