Heath Had Pneumonia

OK, someone has to ask an obvious question;

Heath was doing all night filming in London just a couple of days before he died. These scenes were physically demanding. For example getting all cabled up and hanging from a bridge in the middle of the night in January for hours on end can't have been a good idea if you are run down and sick. Oh yea, there were also the scenes running through the streets ... night ... january ... in costume ... no hat ...

Had he not died, he was expected back to work in Vancouver.

I have been on too many sets where a persons health comes second to film scheduling. In fact, it almost always is the case.

I'm not blaming anyone, but it warrants looking into. Heath loved the director Terry Gilliam and was probably not wanting to disappoint him by asking for some time off to get better. Not that he would have been given the time off anyways.

That's just the reality of how the business works. So you worry and cant sleep. And you can't disappoint and take time off, so you force yourself to get sleep fast, get better fast. But you are just human.

Your body need good old fashioned rest in bed to get rid of anxiety, sleeplessness, and pneumonia. You are trapped, and you then get really really anxious.

Welcome to the glamorous world of movie making.

To all of you ( Gaingator et al...) who keeps on insinuating that Heath might have
dies of AIDS.....GET OUT OF THE CLOSET ALREADY!!! or you might suffocate in there and not die of "natural causes"......
You're more likely NOT to die of natural causes cuz you refuse to get out of that moronic state you're in......
GROW UP YOU BIGOTS!!!! or maybe not cuz you're not capable of that.....

Thanks for the good post very interesting
