falconfoozball Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Wow, shocker. RIP Heath. Did they say what happened? Dude was really young wasn't he?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etifan Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 falconfootball (1/22/2008)Wow, shocker. RIP Heath. Did they say what happened? Dude was really young wasn't he??Wow, I can't believe this. Although I was not a Brokeback Mountain fan, he was really good in other stuff. His upcoming "Joker" character looks amazing. CNN and MSN both list it as "developing" with no other info. He was in his twenties, but I'm not sure what exact age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etifan Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/01/...dead/index.htmlSorry, just checked again. He was 28. No real details, just a short blurb on receiving a "cardiac arrest call". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentVanBro Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thats pretty bad. Its terrible that so many good people die (or have their lives consumed) by drugs.And I felt bad that I thought about this, but what is this going to do to the new batman movie?

ebonymonk Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I really hope he wasn't chasing the dragon and got more than he asked for when he caught it. I liked him and he was too young for something fishy not to have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicker23 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Nuts. I hate that for his family and child. What the **** is wrong with people that they can't handle fame? I obviously don't know what it's like to be famous, but is it really that awful? Is it the personality that it takes to be an actor? I refuse to think its the lifestyle. Plenty of people consume their lives with drugs but don't go over the deep end like actors and musicians do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of people consume their lives with drugs but don't go over the deep end like actors and musicians do.A lack of discipline combined with an addictive personality - whether that addiction is drama, drugs/alcohol or sex. My husband used to model, and the level of acceptancy of drug use among some people is mind-blowing. I don't follow celebrity gossip, but it never occurred to me that he was in the user group. What a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know plenty of people with enough money to waste their life on drugs, but they fall short almost every time. Perhaps it is how they made it? The people I know worked their ***** off, are good with finances, and somewhat fiscally responsible. They still coke-out every weekend, but at least they get up and go to work on Monday.
