I have never seen any of his films... CNN is reporting that he was found in one of the Olsen Twins apt.s

 What a waste. He had the world by the tail and everything to live for and this is almost undoubtedly drug related. People that are 28 don't just die of natural causes. Accidents? Yes. Uber rare heart arrhythmias are well...uber rare.

I never did see Brokeback Mountain, but I thought he was good in Monster's Ball and Lords of Dogtown.

Sad, but very little sympathy for people who OD on drugs.
A few months ago a kid died on my campus and everyone was mourning his loss and talking about what a tragedy it was. Fast forward to the autopsy- he overdosed on Methadone. What an idiot

At least I didn't call him an a-hole for chucking away his entire life at such a young age, particularly if it was drug related. At any rate, the "guys" here at work have calmed down. Which is good. Oh well...

Too bad Tom Cruise wasn't there for him.

Sad...good actor and I will assume he was a nice guy in real life. I liked him in the Patriot and Lords of Dogtown. RIP Heath!

The guy left behind a young daughter. My sympathies are with her.

Wow. We see the best in people here on Pelican, i.e. the outpouring of support for Warren, and the worst, i.e. the callous disregard for a young man's tragic death. The drug/overdose/suicide speculation is, at this time, just that - speculation. There are reports that he had pneumonia and may have accidentally ODed on sleeping pills. Yeah - I guess he had it coming.
What I do know is I have seen some of his movies (not Brokeback) and liked them. One of my wife and kids (and mine) all time favorite movies is Knight's Tale. It's really a lot of fun. The Brother's Grimm was also fun. My family is saddened by his early departure and wish him Godspeed.

As one who will admit to seeing Brokeback Mountain, and one who also thinks it was probably the best movie of 2005, this is sad news. He seemed to have some real talent, and had the balls to take at least one role that most likely cost him other roles, and certainly cost him many fans (if ignorant ones at that.)
Condolences to his family.
