Wasn't he the one who was going to play the new joker in the dark knight movie?

He finished shooting that. His last role.

That sucks. It will be hard to enjoy the movie knowing that.

RIP

He played some amazing roles, a lot of which most people outside of Australia would not have seen.

What a waste.

I actually had no idea who the guy was until I read the story on yahoo news. Now at least I know who he is, but ultimately it strikes me as just another self-important actor/entertainer/Hollywood type who died from his own excesses. I feel for the guy's family and friends the same way I would about anyone who dies, but the story doesn't really move me. The way people were talking, it was as if we'd lost someone significant, which I don't see as being the case here. Another stupid O.D. loss by an undisciplined individual is all I see, IMHO.

It is reported that the role he played as the new joker had him bummed even several months ago. Apparently he was taking sleeping pills big time because the role messed his mind up. Hard to believe it came to this.

There is a little thing called the internet my friend

Apparently he was suffering from depression and insomnia...there is rumoured to have been 3 prescriptions of sleeping type pills at his home. One from Australia was touted to have adverse reactions with takers...what a waste and a shame. I feel for his family.

At least is wasn't speedballs or crack he OD'd from like other actors living-it-up. Likely a tragic accident. No word on any sort of note re-suicide.

Its pretty amazing that with no cause of death listed yet, there's a lot of talk about his 'suicide'. Can't the media wait until there are facts before reporting them? I don't know the first thing about the guy, and honestly the story has no bearing on me, BUT... I sure hate to see a guy's life picked apart and cause of death determined based on assumptions.

Geez.

Yeah, that youth, money, fame, good looks must have been more than he could cope with.

For those like me who had no interest in watching a love story about 2 guys, here's Ms. Hathaway.

I read that is was cell phone ringing that rally put him over the edge.:D

Why is she looking at me and the wall in the corner of my office at the same time? I'm no where near that corner, but she is still looking at me.

????

Its borderline justifiable then. :D

Guess 28 is still the magic number in Hollywood.

RIP Heath

He also played the oldest son in the Patriot with Mel Gibsonian, I liked alot of his movies. It's a shame, a real damn shame.

Looks like Annie has grown up since "The Princess Diaries"

That reminds me... I need to get working on that H4 upgrade.

Pffft!
The above photo of her (compressed and in shadow) is nothing like the scene of her (with headlights bare AND ablaze!) in the back seat of daddy's car!
