Way uncalled for. Like you knew him in person. I respect him for some of the rolls he played -- that others didn't dare play in some cases. He was a good actor and he, and his family, are in my thoughts.

That is probably the darkest thing I've heard in a while

Dude, he'* still a person, how would you like it if one of your sons was an actor, and then died randomly. On top of that, imagine everyone posting **** like that about him. Not cool, man. What did he do to you?

he was also in the new bob dylan movie that is supposed to be excellent.

he had a wife and a 2 year old daughter.

to bad everyone in this world is so closed minded, i tend to think that if people stopped judging everyone else maybe so many people wouldn't commit suicide.

as a friend to some one who has commited suicide because of the way he was judged i find that statement disgusting.

c'mon Paul, not cool
My point exactly. What he did was not cool.

It really peeves me off when someone kills themself.

He didn't die. He committed suicide. He left the ones he loved on purpose.

He will not see God.

He was a coward

Don't have to know him.
I pray everyone on this club has the strength to live their full life no matter what happens.

the overdose may or may not have been intentional, Heath suffered from severe insomnia, and has said before that he takes Ambien and still has difficulty sleeping. It is possible that he just couldnt sleep and took too many by accident, however this is unlikely.

Committing suicide is the most selfish act any human being can do.

I'm with you, Paul.

While I agree suicide is wrong, until the official cause of death is released, we should respect the passing of Ledger as any other person, then pass our own judgement once the facts are laid out.

We don't intimately know anyones lives and I feel its wrong to condemn so harshly.
