I hesitate to call this a tragedy as I do not know him personally and I hate how we idolize actors, singers, sportsmen, etc. But it is a terrible loss, especially at such a young age. I hate to see anyone go before their prime. Especially for no good reason.

Apparently he was a really nice and kind person.

I totally misread the title of this thread as 'Poor Health'...
Thats what I heard. Telented actor, willing to take risky roles, kind person - a rare thing for hollywood. So I guess I am saddened more than I would be if say Mel Gibson or Paris Hilton were found dead in their apartment.
The worst thing is he's leaving behind a 2 yr old girl that he seemed to adore. Michelle Williams appears to be level headed, so hopefully the kid won't be one of those messed up Hollywood kids.

You're not the only one.

Ditto.
Then I said, "Who?"
Then I realized who.
Then I said, "Meh."
No more tragic than any other pointless death.
Same.. I was about to post, 'WHO'S in poor health?' :-D

Poor Heath? WTF. Dude made more coin in one movie than I'll make my whole life.
Obviously had mental problems, but like ctenidae said, 'no more tragic than any other pointless death.' And less tragic than any pointless death in which the victim was not directly responsible for his own demise.

I'm sorry, but I do have to agree with cranky-pants on this one. Average people die...well, all the time...and I don't see a big fuss being run up about them.

I'm on this bandwagon too. If fame and fortune is too much, take your millions and go live in peace and quiet elsewhere. If the relationship/parent duties were too tough, I'm sorry, but I'm sure many of us here can relate to a little spouse + kid issues without the need to cope with a few bottles of perscription pills.
Anytime someone dies it's a sad thing. Just because this person's image was pressed onto a few million DVD's doesn't necessitate front page news.

Translate "heath ledger is dead"
Or, just heath ledger
Someone at Google has an odd sense of humor. Either that or Scientology did kill Heath Ledger. Or something.

Cranky pants all over the place. I am no Heath fanboy - the only people I have ever idolized were skiers , but it is sad no matter how you look at it when a kind talented young person with a child dies.
Why was there this uproar about Doug Coombs' untimely death last year? His death was no different than the dozens of other no-name skiers, boarders, snow mobilers, etc.. that trigger avys and die.

I think in the big scheme of things, Doug Coombs goes down as WAY more of a trailblazing pioneer in his profession than Heath Ledger does. Plus, Doug Coombs passed away doing what he loved and was known for doing, not as a result of some pharmaceuticals used for coping.
First - Coombs was great. What happened to him was tragic. It was a big loss to many people and the sport.

Marc, you are an envious little turd nugget.
Members of the gay community might disgree on that one.
If the manner in which someone died dictates how they should be remembered, explain why the following people are idolized, remembered and loved. A very small part of a huge list:
- Jimmy Hendrix
- Jim Morrison
- John Belushi
- Chris Farley
- Elvis
- Kurt Cobain
- Van Gogh

Agreed. It is like some sort of genetic sympathy gene whenever someone dies, even those we don't know, we must send our thoughts out to the family and friends of the victim. Not to belittle someone's death or those greatly effected by it, but it happens and I don't feel one way or the other about it.
I also thought this thread was about poor health or else I wouldn't even be posting because I would have skipped it. But what the heck, might as well pad my post count while I here.

We live, we die, shit happens, know one I knew, let's move on. Oh, I thought it was poor health as well, was concerned about Koreshot.
