OMFG! Not Heath! What a beautiful young man...to die like this. Yet another aspiring actor's life snuffed out. This news makes my heart hurt.

He was such a great actor in Brokeback Mountain and The Patriot. Gawd, I will certainly miss him...may he Rest In Peace.

Sorry - I don't know where else to put this...I just found out and am stunned. I thought he was a good actor, and seemed like a nice guy, and had a two year old baby too. They just found him dead in his apartment....it's so sad so many young actors/actresses end up dying ...thanks for letting me mourn!

They seem to think drug overdose ~ he was so young ~ it is sad!

They said pills were found next to his nude body on the bed. What a shame.

Sleeping pills. He had said in an interview that he was having trouble sleeping, while filming the batman movie. Cause of having to play joker, the crazy killer guy.

It's so tragic. He was only 28. I feel so bad for his daughter and family. They will
be in my prayers. I think he would have been on equal to someone like Clint Eastwood,
or Robert DeNiro,or Paul Newman, a real legend in acting, if he had lived.

I'm interested in seeing what shows up on the toxicology. He said he was on Ambien, which has been known to cause irregular heartbeat even in normal doses.
