271. jesus people. someone died. anyone getting on here leaving rude comments is ridiculous. junkie? because he had prescription drugs at his house?? i have that same stuff at my house! people have anxiety. its not abnormal. leave the poor man alone and show some respect for him and some compassion for his friends and family. this is a horrible thing that happened. whether it was accident or not, it is a huge loss and very sad.

273. Its really a shame, he was a very good actor who tried to live a very low key life. I feel for Matilda and Michelle as I know they will miss him as so will I. I wish the best for his family. A true legend gone before his time.

274. I feel the same way! I have those kind of medications in my house but that doesnt make me a junkie! I think that he was a great actor and that is what we should honor him for!!!!

275. I'd like to know the reason for the breakup between Heath and Michelle Williams; I wonder if drugs were an issue. If so, then I think Michelle should've done more for Heath and stuck by his side to help him out. I don't know the whole story, but it seems to me that she would've known about something as profound as a drug problem!!

276. It came out that the massuese waited over 45 minutes to call for help after finding him... she was calling the Olsen instead. He might have been saved... the maid heard and saw him snoring a littel after 1pm... the massage appt was for 2:45, so the masseuse arrived a little before that and found him in bed. but waited. if she would have gotten help immediately... things may have been different. I'm so sad over this... he was a great person and to read some of the tributes everyday ppl left about him... well, it just seems we need angels like him here on earth more than they need them in Heaven. May the Lord bless you and keep you...

277. Xanax and Valium must be used with prescription; Ambien it's like Advil right?, anyway nevermind, the thing is that you can't mix anxiety pills with headache pills, I don't understand anything!!!! because you can have some hearth attack or something!!!!!! , It really seemed to be planned, it's sad; well he probably took several medicines to keep him dumped or stone to forget all his "problems" and suddenly "he didn't notice" that he took too much because he was desperate or he just gave up, he just couldn't take his life anymore so he decided to take all the pills and that's it, It's horrible we still have to wait the real results of what happened. I still can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

281. 259. Thank you for making your statement to 258 regarding the racial comment. A life lost is not about Black or White, Yellow, Orange or Green, it is about LIFE. I get so SICK of people making STUPID race comments and overlooking what really matters and in this case an extraordinary young man has left us too soon. As a black female, I am LIVID that RACE even came up when it is totally irrelevant. People are people and although you are entitled to your opinion as "warped" as it may be at least try to has a little decency and respect for the family. I feel sorry for you and your lack of sensitivity. EVERYTHING IS NOT BLACK AND WHITE.....Get over it.

Rest in Peace Heath Most of US Loved You

282. The real problem here people is that there are too many "QUACK" doctors over-prescribing medications to people . These so called "pain management clinics" are nothing more than LEGALIZED DRUG DEALERS!!!! Our Government and State agencies should do more to shut these places down. Many people are allowed to go to multiple doctors to get these medications with no questions asked. Not only do they get a fee for the doctor's visit, nost of them have their own pharmacies in their offices which they make the patients use so that they may profit from that as well! I lost my Uncle a year ago because he was going to multiple doctors and being over-prescribed (of course then came the addiction to the meds) and he died of an accidental overdose. Of course nobody forced him to take the meds, but the doctors are partly responsible for over-prescribing the meds. It's all about the money in their pockets, they don't care that they are killing people everyday!

283. everytime you state something the police turn around and say your wrong so who are your sources you always say a police source but its never right and when they tell the world your wrong you wont correct it .I think yall just like too print up anything too make yall look good n make the deceased look bad you need too check your facts with the NYPD before you print your info. you are slandering the name of a wonderful actor and hes not even able to defend himself i think is despicable to slander the dead. yall need to have some respect for him and his family not to mention his daughter because later in life shes gonna want to know about daddy and you dont think your crap wont be in an archive somewhere for her too read she shouldnt have to read lies about her daddy its bad enough she has to live without him and read the truth later that daddy died at a very young age JUST HAVE SOME RESPECT IF NOT SOME SELF RESPECT AT LEAST HAVE SOME FOR A 2 YEAR OLD LITTLE GIRL and his remaining family he was a wondreful actor who doesnt deserve this disrespect all she should have to know is her daddy loved her very much and he was a wonderfull actor one of the best
