The "accused drug dealer" arrested in Philip Seymore Hoffman's death probe has been linked to other 3 major celebs who all died from over dose.

Robert Vineberg has been linked to Amy Winehouse and famed NYC artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, as he was friends with both the late celebrities, TMZ.com reported.

Sources have revealed that Basquiat and Vineberg used a lot of heroin during the 80s in Vineberg's apartment, where the 'Capote' star visited years later to allegedly score some drugs.

Vineberg has earlier denied that he sold heroin to Hoffman which became the cause of his death.
