This is soooo incredibly sad. I fell in love with him when i saw 10 Things I Hate About You. Brokeback Mountain is another favorite, and I was really looking forward to his role as the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie.
I hope he rests in peace, and my prayers go out to his family, Michelle Williams and his baby girl.
RIP Heath, you will be missed.

I had to check like 8 different sites and the news. I’m really shocked.
This is so sad. He’s my age this is unbelievable. I just seen Brokeback Mountain(which is by the way a Great Movie) he was definitely a great actor.

Yo, former Brooklynite, R.I.P.
And sad to say, but there were some pretty rough looking pics of him circulating on the internets last week which had him looking pretty much near death’s door. He’d been partying hard and chasing models ever since he broke up with Brokeback co-star Michelle Williams:

All the same, I wish his Michelle and their baby girl some peace at this time.

OMG, I forgot about him in The Patriot. He was soooo good in it.
Ivory, I also checked like 10 sites before I actually believed it. I’m still in shock. I wonder what could have been going on in his life to make him mess around with pills, which is what they are saying is the probable cause of death.
RIP

I send my condolences to the family.
I hope this gives young (and old) hollywood a wake up call.
I hope this pricks their collective concience.
Amy Winehouse (who was filmed doing crack in London) and all others wake up.
being paid to follow your art and create is a gift, we appreciate you.
GOD be with the family at this time

Just a rumor, but there is word that he might have committed suicide.
Some good news:
The Dark Knight is in post-production, so you’ll get to see him play The Joker.

He was one of my favorite White actors along with Johnny Depp, his last performance was the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie. He was rumored to be in the third one, but I guess they’ll have to change the storyline.

I just found out he passed away. I was in my bedroom and my mom screamed and called me downstairs. It was on the local news. I am shocked about his death. I always thought he was so talented. Ever since I saw him in “10 things I hate about you” I fell in love with him. I also loved him in “Monster’s Ball” and of course “Brokeback Mountain”. It’s a trip because It’s been a week since Brad Renfro’s death and now Heath’s. May he rest in peace and I send my condolence’s to his family and friends.

I loved him in Monster’s Ball and a Knight’s Tale.
They said it was over the counter sleeping pills, I didn’t know that you could OD on them. May God Bless his soul.

It will be creepy watching him play a demented character like the Joker now that he is dead. People were saying that it is a awards winning performance. So much potential
