Has RIVER PHOENIX Reincarnated?

It has been about 9 years since the late actor River hoenix shuffled off his mortal coil. I believe his passing was due to too much heroin and cocaine at a Hollywood nightclub (the Viper Room). Anyway, I read once that he was a Bhuddist, and since he was certainly not perfect, then he should be coming back…anybody know of any child who looks like him? How do you recognize a reincarnated soul, anyway?

I would think so, but it was well worth the wait. A concise answer, and obviously the correct one. Too bad I seem to have misplaced @ralph124c’s phone number, now he’ll never find out the answer to his decades old question. :frowning:
