16. Nobody knows if Michelle Williams has heard the sad news.
Apparently she is on a flight right now from Sweden where she was filming Mammoth.
Poor Mathilda and Michelle.
RIP Heath.

17. Wow, so maybe it was his health that killed him. Anyone with a weak system and not being treated by a doctor is at risk for hearth failure. Add sleeping bills or pain meds to the mix and you've not got much of a chance. From what I've seen he looked to be an addict, and reports say he had an abuse problem. Add a severe illness to that fact and his heart was a ticking time bomb. If cause of death is heart failure I won't be shocked at all.

what else would Heath be doing Eileen, other then resting in peace? How many cylinders is your brain operating on today?

21. How terribly sad. I would feel better (I know that sounds stupid) if it was from natural causes and not suicide. A 28 year old with a 2 year old daughter has so much to live for. My thoughts go out to his family members and also to Jake G. (can't spell Jakes last name) as he must be devastated also.

22. TMZ where good taste went to die and a quick bung in the right place means someone makes a buck off the dead. Tacky, classless and the journalist talent of a steaming turd.

23. If he was sick--wasn't he under a doctor's care?

27. Being a little red around the neck at least for appearances sake I never talked much with friends about his performance in Brokeback Mtn. But it truly was a brilliant performance. He was robbed of the Oscar IMO. A great talent who no doubt would have provided us all with many more if not for this unfortunate tragedy. A great talent was lost today.
RIP Heath

28. "Why he was naked though I will never know."
In bed sleeping, if he was sick makes perfect sense. As a MD assistant you can't come to that conclusion yourself? Odd, anyway doesn't take much to figure it out if you ask me.

29. So sad. I can't stop thinking about that poor little girl, who will never see her father again.

30. Here's a thought, why not wait until you know all the details before you put anything on your site. He was at Mary-Kates/he wasn't at Mary-Kates; his daughter deserves that much.
