Mourning in Brooklyn

31. TMZ has gone too far chasing down the family. I can't even put into words how disrepectful this is.

32. I am completely sickened. Its all about money isn't it? This isn't humane, at all. Tracking down these grieving people, its just too low, even for the stalkerazzi. I think the regular people and how about some celebs too, form our own group so we can track down, and snap photographs and videos of the paparazzi living their lives.

I am SO disgusted.

33. They're my neighbors, they're people I saw all the time... and for you vultures to be camped out in my neighborhood, strolling up Smith Street, Starbucks in hand, and laughing as you carry your giant cameras, just WAITING for these poor people to come home makes me sick. You SHOULD be ashamed of yourselves. We all have curiosity and we all get our kicks out of the tabloids, but this goes too far; these are people in mourning. Have some restraint, you bloodsuckers.

34. I'd like to note for those commenters not local to the neighborhood, that the cops had to keep coming by to disperse all the on-lookers and news vans. The stalkerazzi were pacing the surrounding blocks from 10am till at least 8pm, when I headed out to the city. Dunno what time Michelle finally came, but they all had their cameras trained on her garage. It's sick, sick, sick. Hopefully you never suffer a death and the same insensitivity to your family's privacy.

35. I dont know why you all cant get back on the Britney train and ride it. So disrespectful. The world lost an awesome man and his family is grieving right now - they dont want cameras in their face and they dont want to be asked how they feel about. How would you feel about it?!! And all of this talk of him on drugs makes me IRATE. His poor daughter will read things like that one day and he is not here to defend himself. Stop speculating he was on drugs and look at the the fact that if he did indeed have pneumonia, then why are they taking the drug road? Because he's a star that needs his image tarnished by disrespectful people thats why. If he did have pneumonia they should be looking at stuff like congenital heart failure or adema. After all he has been on three flights and if those heights compress lungs that are already possibly filled with fluid, along with a sleeping pill that slows breathing, the outcome is fatal. Keep your speculation to yourself and find other ways of making money . Leave this poor soul and his family alone. Dont tear down his image and replace it with BS that you just want other people to think.

36. If ever there was a way to lose viewership and hits to your site....this would be one way of doing it....I have decided that after seeing tmz and others clamouring over a grieving family that I will no longer be coming to TMZ.com....I hope others follow suit and abandon this website.....there are power in numbers......

38. From what the police are saying I think the cause of death will be...accidental drug overdose.

40. Give them some space. I normally follow everything as well, but watching this made me sick to my stomach. I'm done following this here. I'll read about it in the paper

41. I love this website, and we all have to admit that we have a little bit of curiosity as to what Michelle is going through right now, but it's not fair of the paps to be camping out in her neighborhood the way they are. Give her some time to mourn her loss--I am sure she will release a statement.

42. Props to the woman screaming "LEAVE THEM ALONE?! ARE YOU PROUD OF YOURSELVES?!" Well, are you TMZ? Vultures. It's one thing to snap pics of starts at clubs, but grieving relatives of a talented man not even buried yet is disgusting. Michelle Williams and all his family and friends are sad? Gee, thanks for the groundbreaking news.

43. I can't believe you guys are stooping this low..How would you feel if it was your family member who just past away and you are being followed and having pictures taken and being asked stupid questions..How the hell do you think they feel..seriously I have to agree with everyone on here you really out did yourself this time. Oh and to # 7 comment on Kerri Russell not stopping in..She has respect for the the family I'm sure when they have mourned and the time is right then she will give her condolences.

RIP Heath Ledger ( You will always be in our hearts )

44. You people at TMZ make me sick. How dare you shove cameras in people's faces when they're grieving. You obviously have no regard for anyone. Is nothing sacred? I guess it's anything to make a $.

45. What's next TMZ,crash the funeral so you can get pictures of Heath in his coffin. I'm sure those pics would fetch a pretty penny. I for one will boycott this site and will never read anything from you bloodsuckers ever again.
