On February 19, 2026, it was confirmed that actor Peter Greene, best known for his role in 'Pulp Fiction', died from an accidental gunshot wound. The New York Chief Medical Examiner's office reported that Greene, 60, accidentally shot himself in the left armpit, causing severe damage to the brachial artery, which supplies blood to the arm. Greene was found dead in his Lower East Side apartment on December 12, 2025, after a neighbor called police due to continuous music coming from his apartment. The death was ruled an accident, dispelling earlier speculation about foul play or gang involvement, as Greene was reportedly preparing for surgery that day to remove a benign tumor near his lung, according to MEAWW and Variety.
