Heath's Family: He Did Not Kill Himself

Posted Jan 22nd 2008 7:52PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has been contacted by a rep from Heath's family. The cops told the family Heath's death was accidental and there is no evidence to support the buzz that he may have committed suicide.

They are particularly distraught over media reports that he may have taken his own life. The family says he was not that kind of person.

As we just reported, Heath was ill with pneumonia when he died.

1. TMZ where good taste went to die and a quick bung in the right place means someone makes a buck off the dead. Tacky, classless and the journalist talent of a steaming turd.

5. HEY TMZ YOU ARE THE PEOPLE REPORTING TWENTY FIVE DIFFERENT STORIES.

8. I don't think anyone can know what happened until they do an autopsy. It really doesn't matter, a talented young father is still dead no matter what. What a sad, sad loss.

9. i liked to believe this is the case. i do not believe he intentionally killed himself. i believe he was a very good person and he was portrayed this way. i feel very sad. he was too young and a very good actor.

12. #9 - Suicide does make it much worse, trust me. It's much worse to think that a loved one just couldn't take life anymore and decided to take the selfish way out without thinking about his family.
