16. Is being a drug addict so much better than JUST a suicide?

Puhleez, family, I know you are upset, but really, he's dead because of drugs, one way or the other.

17. Ok, but when most people actually DO kill themselves, the family and friends aren't usually saying, "I saw this coming. He was most definitely the kind of person who would do this." I'm just sayin'...

18. Pneumonia or not, it is hard to believe that he killed himself. It's just hard to place, he doesn't seem the type.

Poor man.

19. Sure his family contacted TMZ. That is the craziest lie I have ever heard. Like his family is worried about what online bloggers are saying during this time. Get a grip TMZ - At least if your gonna lie try and sound believable - PLEASE!!!!!!!!

20. You never know in this world now day's. People can die at a drop of a hat. You just have to wait and see why they died.

21. this is a very sad day. It is times like these that we often think of our own mortality. 28 is MUCH too young to die. He will be missed.

23. I knew it. You can tell he is not that kind of person. Never once have I seen pictures of him abusing drugs or alcohol for that matter. My condolonces go out to the family & friends of Heath right now. This must be excepionally hard for them right now,not only do they have to deal with the death of a loved one they must also now deal with the papparazi whom always seems to get everything wrong and twisting the strory to cause absolute heartbreak for the one's closest to him. What a tragedy. May he rest in peace. Hollywood, America & Australia have suffered a great loss

25. Of course they are going to say that. Sorry to be cynical, but he was only 28. It takes a lot of pills to kill a young person.

26. It is real sad that people are putting things out there that are not true. He has really never had any problems like many of the other stars out there, and you dont see him hitting the party scene like many other yet people like to make it more exciting so they add stuff that they really shouldnt as that effects all his loved ones.... If it had said Brittney no one would have been shocked... Heath was a good guy! Lay Off It! Thanks TMZ for posting what his Family said too much he said she said going on!

27. Iam a bit relieved if it was "natural causes" and not suicide. A successful 28 year old with a 2 year old daughter and who had a great future ahead of himself...I hoped it wasn't suicide. Sad,sad,sad.

28. If children in Africa can survive with rape, AIDS, and horrible conditions, then why can't American celebrities handle fame?

29. Drugs killed him whether he killed himself or not

30. hey 28) just because you dont see pictures of them doing drugs doesn't mean they don't. You've never seen pictures of me doing them either, but guess what, I drink, and alcohol is a drug, LOL
