    216

    HOLY SHIT!!!! thats so fucking sad….i cant even comprehend it. he was so young!! aww….

  17. RoxyfuckenHagen says – reply to this


    217

    the first thing i thought of was that he couldn't stand being away from his family, ie his daughter matilda? and michelle. it takes a strong man to keep living when his relationship/ family breaks up.
    i don't know what the fuck else would make him want to do drugs like that to that point. maybe it was a mistake, its fucken upsetting, he was a big deal to me, he first shined in Two Hands, check it out. RIP

  18. Renee says – reply to this


    218

    Australian Newspapers are reporting that he was found dead in his apartment by his maid at around 3:35pm on Tuesday afternoon. The police do not suspect that the death is the result of a crime. His body was found surrounded by pills.

    222

    its a shame that young celebs go aroung with hair stylists ..dressers..managers etc.. when they need to add a psychologist to there employ to keep them grounded..because at such a young age its to much to soon.

  23. kat says – reply to this


    223

    That is really, really sad. Heath was an extraordinary actor. I feel sorry for his little girl Matilda. It is a great loss of life.

  24. No Way. That's so sad says – reply to this


    224

    Terrible news !!! He was just a young guy. May God have mercy on his soul and may he rest in peace. I am so sorry for this little girl having to grow up without a Daddy. Keep her in your prayers.

  25. Maribel says – reply to this


    225

    Aww only 28 yrs old with a 1 yr old daughter left behind. Poor Matilda won't have a daddy. You know he wasn't really big on drugs but I think the break up from his wife took it's toll of vourse a drug overdose isn't confirmed and personally I'm hoping it isn't so. His history of being a good person shouldn't be tarnished by his death. So sad. my friend saw him making out with some chick on the subway like two weeks ago and now he's gone.

  26. Dumb Ass Celebrities says – reply to this


    226

    Wow….how UNSURPRISING???? I mean come on how IDIOTIC do you have to be to do something like this. Obviously he was a SELFISH person as he didnt give two shits about his daughter before doing what he did. BOO HOO I am rich and I cant handle all the PROBLEMS that comes with beinf FAMOUS & RICH….and now what is everyone going to remember him for his movies and work he did….casue I GUARENTEE that HIS DAUGHTER and his loved ones will always remember he DIED A JUNKIE….Thats the TRUTH…its sad that another young person had to lose his life…but should I honor him for it or give him any sympathy…..no I have problems as well as so does all of the world…people with problems besides how much money is in my bank account or why is someone else worth more than me per film…..or OMG the papparazzi wont leave me alone….These people ask for all this and then we are supposed to feel sorry for them… Heath you SELFISH JUNKIE…..Now who is going to raise YOUR Daughter????????

  37. Christine says – reply to this


    237

    This is such a shock and so incredibly sad. He was an amazing actor and will be sorely missed. Drugs are taking a whole generation of talent away from us. It is so very sad. My condolences to His family and his precious little girl. May He Rest In Peace.

    257

    Re: Dumb Ass Celebrities – Oh STFU! It hasn't even been verified that his death was drug-related, and even if it was–have some fucking respect for the dead! If drugs were involved, you don't know if it was an overdose or suicide. So in the meantime, until you can pass judgement (if ever), why don't you just SHUT YOUR PIEHOLE! ASSHOLE!!!

    OMG No! I am still in a state of shock. R.I.P Heath. My heart goes out to his family in Western Australia, and his beautiful little girl, my thoughts and prayers are with you. And apparently they were prescription pills, they are unsure if his passing was intentional or accidental.

  99. brown-eyez says – reply to this


    299

    it was an ACCIDENTAL overdose. Heath had back issues and tylenol pm was his friend for many years. he did NOT want to take prescription pain meds. he had a particulary sore night after a chiropractic appt last night. he had weekly standing massage appointments also ..this was ACCIDENTAL..he loves his daughter more than himself..Matilda has just suffered a great and irreplaceable loss….
