2. What the hell is wrong with you all?!? Showing his body being rolled out. Have some respect for the man and his family. In life he couldn't escape from your cameras and you cannot let him be in peace now that he is gone. Pathetic. Another new low TMZ!

5. It should be against the law to film the removal of a dead body. This is the ultimate depraved invasion of privacy. The ME's office should set up some sort of enclosed tunnel from the entrance of the building to the ambulance/hearse. The media are sub-human.

11. You schmucks! How DARE you show Heath Ledger's body being wheeled out of his apartment?! We all know that Heath Ledger is dead; we didn't need to see this! Have some respect for Heath, for his family. Mindless gossip about train wrecks is one thing; filming a dead body is truly the height of insensitivity and bad taste!

12. I agree that they shouldn't show his body being wheeled out and why does everyone who is reporting this have to say he was naked in bed...For crying out loud, what the hell does him being naked have to do with anything....leave the poor guy alone. We have lost a terrific actor and his little girl lost her daddy...My heart goes out to the family.

13. How sad for his parents & child. this is a terrible tragedy... what is happening to most celebriteies? why do they take drugs & drink alcohol? Such a good actor, he will be deeply missed by all his fans & especially his family.. rip

14. Shame on you for showing this. Truly disgusting and distasteful. Let his family mourn for his loss. Would you like it if we showed up at your loved ones home while his/her body was being wheeled out?
