271. no worries mate....you're at peace now, and while you were here, you did good. I will always remember Enis in Brokeback Mountain. God rest you well young man.

272. You guys had the opportunity to show your site in a whole new light by refusing to air this atrocity. You are revolting...

274. All I have to say is how awful for Michelle and Matilda. I really have to say that TMZ is truly tasteless for putting all his info under R.I.P. I am saddened to click on a link to read the sad story of an actor I enjoyed watching only to find that people are capitalizing on this person's tragic demise. The last I knew, R.I.P meant Rest in PEACE not Ruthless Ignorant Papparazzi. I promise I will never view this site again.

275. This is awful and disgusting behavior of TMZ and all the sleazy papparazi- a human being has died and you are taking pictures of the lifeless body like vultures and getting money for it. when will this obsession with the celebrities end- not even in death can they get peace. shame on you!

276. I'm actually kind of disgusted with myself for just watching that. This isn't some animal put on display at a zoo....it is a human being. It's his body being taken away a moment that no one's family and friends should have to see played out on tv, the internet, look at all the flashbulbs going off, is this world really that sick that people forget there is a real person under there? This isn't a movie it's real life and I just think his family and friends deserve some sort of privacy in this horrible time of tragedy.
RIP HEATH

278. Wow, for some reason, that just bothered me more than anything. To see his body in a body bag, just sort of shoved into the back of that truck - it was just so pathetic and final. And then when they shoved that gurney in there with him... wow. It just was like his body was just an object. He is no longer a person - just this body that they toss in there. And to hear the passersby shout "Here he comes!" Wow. It just seems so inappropriate. I was happy that at least people remained silent for the most part. It was the least they could do.

279. Tmz makes me sick.
Anything for a story!
I think it is sick that you show Heath's body being removed from the his place.
I also heard how you had a camera posted there as soon as you could. Anything for a story who cares to what lengths you go to get it and what you put out. It is sad. And I for one am going to stop watching you, and would like to encourge others to stop too. Maybe even the person that will read this and undoubtly not post this.

281. This is a sad and horrible loss and it is shocking - unfortunately when it happens to someone who was nominated for an Oscar (or anyone else even remotely famous) it gets covered by TMZ and footage that you as a visitor to the site may not want to see is posted. I saw what the video was, it's pretty clearly titled - if you don't want to see the image, then you'd be wise not to play the video....just sayin'.

282. Your soul will always be in our hearts.

283. Did you really need to show Heath Ledger's body being removed?

Posted at 5:14AM on Jan 23rd 2008 by Helenka

284. This terrible news is just such a SHOCKER! I had heard some buzz going around, but had no clue who it was about...now I know. In no way is substance abuse a thing to laugh at or blame others for if substance abuse is the case in his untimely death. I myself have a prescription abuse problem and it is difficult to go through alone. I recently took an ambulance ride for an overdose, but not to kill myself. So please no one think that he tried to take his own life. This is just an accidental, untimely, and unfair death. I am still shocked by this news and I think everyone should just leave the family alone because it is hard enough to go through if you are a regular joe. R.I.P. Heath!!!!!

285. Heath was a close friend of my friends daughter, and her family and he had many good and real friends (most from his school days til now)in Perth. Western Australia. To the Ledger Family and all his close friends, I am thinking of you at this most awful time. I won't name friends, you know who you are. Heath brought so much happiness to you andyour families throughout the years and to the world. I hope your final time with us was at peace Heath. Sadly we have lost another true talent. And a particular good person, honest and true to all he knew. To the general public, please don't make decisions until the official findings. Respect the wishes of Heaths family in Perth. Lost but never forgotton.
