49. 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.

50. Yes, this is extremely sad and shocking.

In addition to that, I would just like to comment on all the media coverage on this subject.

I was absolutely DISGUSTED to turn on the television this afternoon and see all major news networks actually airing footage of Heath Ledger's body being removed, in a body bag, from his hotel. Seriously people, IS NOTHING SACRED ANYMORE?! Not only is that greatly disturbing, but also to see hundreds of paparazzi desperately attempting to cover such a morbid scene and other random bystanders digging for their camera phones ;it absolutely pains me and makes me ashamed to live in a country that allows behavior like this and lacks any compassion whatsoever for a human being. Yes, I said a HUMAN BEING. Not a movie star - not a heartthrob. A real person. A son and a father. A person whose loved ones will have to turn on the television and see how that tragic scene turned into a tourist attraction. With pathetic onlookers snapping photos like children at a zoo. When will a line be drawn???

Shame on all of you.

54. 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!

55. This is really sick. It make me feel sick in my stomach.......

56. 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.

57. 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

58. 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?

59. I don't blame TMZ for showing the body being moved. Sadly, it's something the public wants to see. It's so sad that he passed. He was an amazing actor and will be missed.
