Basquiat and Vineberg used A LOT of heroin during the 80s in Vineberg's apartment -- the same place Hoffman visited years later to allegedly score smack.&amp;#160; We're told Basquiat injected the heroin with a needle.&amp;#160; He died of a heroin OD in '88 ... after sinking into a deep depression over the death of his close friend Andy Warhol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0214_WARHOL_BASQUIAT_GETTY\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2014/02/14/0214-warhol-basquiat-getty-5.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vineberg was close friends with Winehouse ... but there's no proof they did drugs together.&amp;#160; Winehouse died of acute alcohol poisoning in 2011 after years of abusing drugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Vineberg, he denies he sold PSH the heroin that killed him."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
