How old was river Phoenix when he died?

River Phoenix was an amazing person and however had a drug addiction. River Phoenix did eventually die from it. People ask themselves the question " why did river phoenix have to die?" However there is only one person that knows why and that is God. God took our River and is keeping him safe and will always be safe in his hands. We will always miss him terribly and I am also one of those people who are going to remember him..Forever

God bless River
