I JUST saw that. What the f*ck happened that he'd apparently OD on drugs?

Batman won the ever lasting battle... The only honorable thing to do was to kill himself.

(Sorry about sounding mean.)

I just read about that. At first I thought it was someone joking.
I'm speechless. He was so young

I have no idea, man. No clue.

Apparently, his Joker role was too physically and mentally demanding, and he had trouble sleeping even a few hours with pills. So so guesses he over did it trying to get some sleep, since his role in another movie was similar to the Joker one.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what really happened.

Damn, that's sad.

What's weird is, like 5 minutes after it was announced at least 15 people were talking about it on the way back to my dorm from the dining hall. Me and my friends took bets on what had happened, and I figured sleeping pills or something.

What confuses me is if one of the Olson twins is involved or not. Mary Kate was mentioned in the MSN article.

[quote]“I felt a connection with him as an actor, as a fellow in the theater community,â€

thats one thing i liked about him, was his ability to get right into his roll. i think he may of put himself too far into his roles which he seamed to reiterate in a past interview.

to clarify on the olsen twin thing. the masauge chick knew the bodyguard of the olsen and called him to come over since he has EMT training and was a block or two away (to try to revive him and would be faster then the ambulance which takes a bit of time to get there). sadly, heath was already dead for some time and was unable to be revived (DOA).

a shame to since i liked him in 10 things i hate about you, one of my favorite movies.

So near as we can tell he didn't kill himself or OD on anything, from what I've heard.
Just seems to me one of those conclusions which are jumped to.
It seems that he had a case of walking pneumonia, and while my information is just as fresh it was still attained from his mother, and if he was taking sleeping pills of such variety (none of the bottles were much less than full at all, discounting the notion of rapid ingenstion) then they lower lung capacity, so what seems more likely is a malignment of these factors.
But,
