Heath's Family: He Did Not Kill Himself

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.

31. 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'...

32. 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.

34. 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!

35. 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.

36. 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.

37. After watching interviews where he talks about his daughter, I would be shocked to hear that he killed himself. She obviously meant the world to him. I'm especially sorry that his little girl now has to grow up without her dad, and I can't imagine how her mom will explain it to her.

38. 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.

40. 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.

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