76. Was the masseuse REALLY a man named Bruno? I thought a masseuse was a woman and a masseur was a man. Besides they showed a picture of his housekeeper and the masseuse and they were both women. As for them showing his body being rolled out, I am sure there are just as many people who wanted to see this as people who didn't. It's really part of being a big star and in the limelight, people will be curious about these things. I have seen the body bags containing Anna Nicole Smith, James Brown, and many others. Heck they even showed the actual bodies of John Lennon,(just moments after he was pronounced dead) Nicole Brown Smith, and now even Princess Diana, and Dodie El Fayed.

77. #61, I see your point BUT go tell his family right now that this "isn't a real tragedy". I dare you!

Besides, who is it to judge what is a real tragedy and what isn't? Just as many was sad the day of 9/11, I assure you. Your comments about his child are also inapproriate. That little girl will grow up without her dad! I think its you that doesn't know what "sad" really is. While this isn't no where near 9/11 level, it is still a sad situation.

I hope someone is kinder to you when someone you care about passes than you've been to his family and fans. I was actually cool with the opinion until you attacked his child. That's not cool at all!

78. TMZ crew, I admit that I usually get a kick out of the things you show on T.V. Most of it is presented in a very humorous way. Showing such insensitivity toward a brilliant actor, beloved son and loving father is infuriating! You should be ashamed of yourselves! He deserves his privacy in death as he did in life. By parading his dead body in this video, you have robbed him of his God given right to privacy. Of course, you are not solely to blame, the coroner showed the same amount of carelessness and insensitivity by not covering his body with a sheet to at least let him keep his dignity. I loved watching Heath immerse himself into the characters that he played and am saddened by his untimely death. My heart goes out to his loved ones that were left behind. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Heath family.

79. I totally agree, it is a disgrace that this was shown. Have the media ever heard of a little thing called RESPECT!!
It is extremely distasteful, I was so shocked when I saw it on the news. The coroners should have known better than to parade his body out the front

80. TMZ = DISGUSTING and INVASIVE

TAKE IT OFF IMMEDIATELY!

Posted at 12:31PM on Jan 24th 2008 by FCK YOU, TMZ!

81. This is disgusting. You are blatantly disrespectful to Heath, and his loved ones. While we all admire stars and wonder what goes on in their personal lives, there is a line to be drawn. You have crossed that line today in such a shameless way it makes me physically sick. I would ask you to remove this just as many others have done..but lets face it..the people at TMZ are soulless and vapid. I will never visit this website again. I encourage others to do the same.

Without these celebrities you so disrespect, and the people who want to read about these celebrites..YOU ARE NOTHING.

BOYCOTT TMZ.

82. We can't blame tmz - we can only blame ourselves. We want to see celebrity tragedy and we're creating it - It's ironic that what we want to see is killing people and driving them insane and hey guess what - that's what we want to see...

83. I would like to begin with sending my condolences to Heath's family and daughter, and of course Michelle. He was a very good actor and he will truly be missed by his fans.

What you did to that poor man's family and daughter is down right disgusting! His daughter will read about this for years to come and who knows what the story will be then. Show him some respect and let him rest in peace and let his family mourn in private. We dont need to see these kind of pictures and stories about him. It's people like you that give these actors a hard time. Noone should have to hide or go out in diguise to avoid you.

You disgust me.....

85. Sick....just sick. Why would you show a man being dragged out in a body bag. Wow...don't you have any respect? And the NYC coroner's office...SHAME ON YOU!! TAKE THIS DISRESPECTFUL VIDEO DOWN NOW!!!!

86. people see celebs as just rich and famous. like that takes the problems away. it doesnt. the truth of the matter is that none of us know what the others go through day in and day out and how we deal with different issues of life. ITS HORRIBLE TO SHOW A DEAD PERSON IN A VIDEO. I DIDNT WATCH IT. the media is 99% jerkoff cottinheadedninnimuggins. as a member of heath ledgers generatoin, i will always give mad respect to 10 things i hate about you. holla.

87. While personally I agree with most of you I must say TMZ showing the removal wasn't a shock, most of the major networks also showed the same or simular footage. One way to stop is to well STOP WATCHING IT! Turn the channel, don't go to the website etc. Its like you people are saying you don't want to listen to a certain song on the radio but when it comes on you don't turn the station.

89. when do you guys think you'll be releasing the autopsy pics ? can't wait to see them.

90. I think it's sick that the media thinks people should see his body being wheeled away. Imagine that it was your father or son or friend, would you want that aired on TV and put all over the internet.Can you even imagine seeing your father or son's body in a bag on the television?? Someday his poor daughter will see that footage and that image will never leave her head, It's sickening what you people will do for a buck.
