"Unfortunately, we can't fit everyone in," an Oscars spokesperson explained to Radar adding, a bit inexplicably, that Renfro died before there was time to include him in the editing. But Renfro died of an accidental heroin overdose on Jan. 15, one week before the Jan. 22 death of Heath Ledger, also from an accidental overdose. Was it the heroin thing?
"There's no specific reason," the spokesperson tells Radar. "Unfortunately, he was edited out."
