New York City – “The Wire’’ actor Michael K. Williams was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment Monday afternoon, law-enforcement sources told The Post. Drug paraphernalia was found in the five-time Emmy nominee’s apartment, suggesting a possible overdose from heroin or fentanyl.

“No foul play indicated,” a police source said. “No forced entry, the apartment was in order.”

Fox News reports that Williams was found dead by his nephew in the living room of his apartment.

Williams was a 2021 Emmy Award nominee as best supporting actor for “Lovecraft Country” and was famous for his role as Omar Little in the gritty TV series “The Wire,’’ and as Chalky White in “Boardwalk Empire.’’

In the past, Williams was open about his personal struggles with drugs, including during the filming of “The Wire,” saying that getting so into the role of Little, who robs drug dealers, affected him in real life.
