He was a good actor.
I saw Heath on 15 December 2007 by the Thames filming. Was just walking past at night with the wife and stopped as we saw all the film crew etc. Saw him on the barge in his white suit. Never seen any of his films but am sad he has gone. Will view some now though.
RIP fella…..
Terrible heading. Change it!
he is dead now you morons, god i will miss him!
too bad he is dead. He died of an apparant overdose on Jan 22nd. RIP.
he died yesterday
wow.. you should take this post off, heath is really dead now. it is very sad, and to see some sick scum like you keeping this up, it’s just sickening. and in the first place to put this up is discusting.. but now, it’s just ruthless. take it off.
CHANGE THE F***ING TITLE
already!
this is so not funny AT ALL!!!
Quick! Someone write an article titled, “Carlos Mencia Falls Into a Meat Grinder”.
Ironic? No. Coincidental? Most definitely.
I for one, loved the title of this article. It really grabbed your attention.
I was not aware that he was in a relationship with Michelle Williams. Lucky guy.
Anyway, he is dead. Now the rest of the world can go on with their lives.
Take a look at comment #5 by Anon, he was right on. He got way too tied up with his characters, he really was an incredible performer. I feel this may have been what took his life.
Okay the title of the article is just fine - this guy just used it to catch people’s attention, that’s what writers do, grow up and get over it. And it is ironic that he died a month later, but that’s what life is, we never know when we’re gonna die. There really isn’t any debate over this and it doesn’t really matter if this little article is still up or not - life has more important bridges to cross, so start fighting about more important things.
Why should Jared change the title? He posted it way before Heath’s actual death. For posterity alone he should leave it up.
It’s creepy for sure.
# 74 actually my mom and I thought the same thing Ironic that after playing the character the Joker that he did die. Horrible and tragic I wonder though what doctor would perscribe the drugs together that killed him. I mean Heath said the perscriptions weren’t helping with depression, insomnia, and anxiety. So no he did NOT commit suicide and it was accidental but you would think a doctor would know better than to perscribe 6 different types of meds for Depression, Sleep and Anxiety (can’t spell). The only thing I could keep thinking about was has he died in a movie? It seems to me that once you die in a movie then you are safe in real life. Maybe not IDK but it sure is bizare and I agree with #74 the Joker would really appreciate the Irony of it all.
He’s dead now…OD…I’m sad. He was his best in TDK I think.
