Oh man, I just found it on Perez...

Drug overdose!

I'm in shock...

 

[Number_6]

Just saw it on CNN.com/ No further information showing at this time other than he was found dead in an apartment in Manhattan.

My thoughts go out to his child and wife

Anybody know if The Dark Knight is finished filming? (Not that this is important).

 

[dandaman]

Wow...

It does amaze me, though, just how fast news can travel... apparently the news wasn't released not even 10 minutes before the OP. :dazzle:

R.I.P. Heath...

I believe they were wrapping up filming but he was finished. Michelle Williams and him were estranged and their daughter Matilda is still quite young.



He will be missed...

 

[MouseMadness]

Wow. That was out of left field. He'd been looking pretty bad in pictures I'd seen of him recently.

Really sad when somebody so young dies in this way.

Did you guys see Brad Renfro (who you may or may not know) died of a drug overdose the other day too. He also left behind a child.

MSNBC is reporting that the actor was found, surrounded by pills.

I'm in shock...

I was on Perez not even 15 minutes ago and it wasn't posted yet. I can't even get people.com or perez to load up now.

This is so bizzare and it seems out of nowhere!

 

[Uponastar]

Too sad.

 

[New2WDW]

Shocked! I just got online and saw his picture on MSN. I could not believe it and still can't.

 

[Peaches Magee]

I am in complete disbelief.


Really admired this guys talents as an actor and I am soooo psyched for Dark Knight...
it is going to be so much darker and strange to watch it when it comes out... that is if he finished filming it all...
It's like Brandon Lee in the Crow all over...
the death... much different.

I didnt see him as into drugs...
guess it can be hidden all to well.
Very sad day indeed

R.I.P.

I agree, totally out of nowhere!

I loved him in 10 Things I Hate About You and A Knight's Tale

 

[Nemo14]

Such a shame....

 

[Number_6]

The current report on CNN says that the pills found near him appear to be over-the-counter sleeping pills. Could have been a bad reaction to the pills or accidental overdose...

 

[Timmay]

Terrible...
