49. Such a waste of an incredible actor. People need to wake up and realize that they're not invincible. Drugs can kill you. Your luck will run out. (Hello, Amy Winehouse!!)
We've lost enough talented and wonderful people because of drugs. It's not worth it.
Horribly, horribly sad.

55. Ok really you should just all back off...making up all these stories about the Olsen twin, then saying that he had a drug problem, come on Heath has always kept to himself and just because they alledge it was a substance abuse you automatically assume he had a problem. Let the man be, he's dead, can't you guys leave him alone already. This is ridiculous all the lies the media can come up with. "/
