Shameful. Whatever the truth behind this fellow's demise, he was a bright young talent that would have provided us with decades of wonderful art. Now lost. Terribly, terribly sad. My deepest condolences to his family. It seems that wherever you go, in real life or on the net, events such as this bring out the cockroaches. Shameful.

Nine out of 10 times, my MD friends tell me when people lose a loved one because of acute onset of death from pneumonia, they are usually talking about acute congestive heart failure. The fluid in the lungs makes the lungs heavy and wet and many people (even in the medical community) use the term pneumonia when it's not really correct. Many of the drugs taken by the rich and famous (and I guess the poor as well) can cause acute heart failure. I would be more inclined to suspect that. A person with pneumonia is going to wake up sick. Not wake up dead. Just my thoughts on the pneumonia angle.

I can understand if it was intentional. We all suffer our own personal demons and weaknesses. The tragedy of life is to be given problems with no solutions; questions with no answers. One solution is to leave this world behind. Having faced down both addiction and plans for suicide has left me more sympathetic to all those who struggle and fail with life. Just because no one else can understand your torment does not make it any less real. I wish I could bring myself to believe in a Creator. I earnestly desire to know that death is not the end of everything. I've seen too many people I love and so much waste in the world to not rage and weep against the Great Destroyer - Death. If there were a God, Vishnu, Allah, etc. then maybe we all have a soul which continues on after we die. Maybe life isn't a cruel joke. This is so depressing. Heath is gone.

In Hollyweird deaths that is almost always the case. Most of these people die from 1)intentional drug overdose meaning they are too weak willed to live with the lives they have chosen to create for themselves. See ya, no sympathy here or 2)they are too stupid to realize the potential affects the mixture of drugs could have on them or use those affects to escape their reality. Again, see ya. Both are examples of natures way of preventing that particular gene pool from perpetuating itself. Can some one tell me what this young man has done that was constructive/helpful for our society? And yes, I feel terrible for his daughter. No child should have to grow up without a parent. That's the only sad part I see in all of this. “Dying young is the very definition of tragic”

Just like all of us, we go through life and everything seems normal. And than something like this happens. Sometimes things are not what they seem. Even though the only movie I saw Heath in was The Patriot, the only thing that matters is that he seemed to be a good person and it is never good to hear about someone passing at such a young age.
