31. If children in Africa can survive with rape, AIDS, and horrible conditions, can't American celebrities surive fame?

And: Anna Nicle Smith at 39, Heath at 28, then what's next? Jamie Lynn at 17?

Rest In Peace.

32. 18....he was expecting a massage. thats why he was naked. Think about it. If he was taking ANY kind of CNS depressants, [opiates] and had pneumonia his breathing would have been shallow and that would have made it a huge complication.
But since you are such an expert, I doubt youd know that.

35. This devastated me as if he was family!
I'll never forget his contribution to my life; especially with his portrayal of Ennis Del Marr. It made me determined to love my fellow man, regardless! That everybody, no matter what, is deserving to be loved!
R.I.P. dear man!

I immediately said several prayers for Heath.
May God have mercy on him!

36. I am sure the media will blame Bush for this too.

37. First of if he is ill and has Pneumonia why is he allowing the massage to still occure. Its contagious and he could have risked the life of the massuse working on him. It must be a mid-west thing to have common curtosity when your ill not to endanger the health of others. On another note...If he did overdose on Ambien he would have experienced
sleepiness, confusion, dizziness, clumsiness, severe nausea or vomiting, staggering, difficult or slow breathing , slowed heart rate, unconsciousness and eventually death. The house keeper was there during this entire time? Why was she not checking on him. Other websites reported that Heath was in full cardiac Arrest when found (Only takes about 4-6 minutes) If he was as ill as they are saying that why was he not hospitalized, under doctors care.

38. Yea right. He died of a drug overdose. Don't try and sugar coat it now.

39. Wonder if this is true. I was watching Fox News and Headline News at the same time - they are one channel apart. As I flipped back and forth, CNN's caption read that police think it looks like suicide, and scroll up one channel to Fox News and it said police think this was an accidental death. WTF? Who knows what to believe, regardless, this is a very sad and shocking story. My heart goes out to this young man's family, and his daughter who will never have the pleasure of knowing him. RIP.

41. This is just tragic. Sad beyond words. He was such an amazing, true talent, and a dad. Treasure your life no matter how big or small.

42. Hmmm . . . I wonder if the person who picked Heath in the "Celebrity Betting Death Pool" is getting a HUGE payout.


Amy Winehouse's odd are probably poor. Britney poor . . . but who would have thought Heath?

43. sd - exactly, and nobody is going to know for sure what happened until and after the autopsy is completed.

44. Ambien is a scary and dangerous sleeping pill. Google it and check out some of the stuff that goes on with Ambien. If he was taking Ambien and sick, bad bad combo.

Hopefully now that a famous person may have died from dangerous Ambien something will be done about this drug that shoulda been taken off the market years ago.

45. I cannot believe how saddened I am by his passing! It's just so unfair! And right before the release of TDK! I am however appalled at how extremely close the papparazi are following this! I really am sad but perhaps a thought should go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time.
