My thoughts are with Heath's family and friends. It's crazy how much attention his death has gotten. I think it's because to the general public, it came out of no where. It was certainly shocking to me. He did a good job of staying out of the rumors, the paps, and didn't get mixed in with the Britneys of the world. Time will tell what the cause of his death was. However, his family reports his death was accidental and said that he had pneumonia when he passed. He was a very talented actor and he will be missed.

This is all horrible, but I want to offer one thing: I almost died of pneumonia last year, and I can honestly say that I wasn't thinking straight at all when it got really bad.
I can only thank God there weren't any narcotics in my house at all.
If he was febrile from pneumonia yesterday morning, that is just too sad for words.

"It's crazy how much attention his death has gotten."
I don't think it is crazy at all...he was a young talented actor that seemed to have a lot going for him - this is far more "headline" news than what flavor of coffee Brittney ordered today. I think the amount of press is very appropriate.

"It's crazy how much attention his death has gotten"
First my apologies eellsinoc. I think I either wrote that wrong, or it was read wrong. I didn't mean it doesn't deserve the attention as it certainly does. I was referring to the attention b/c it's so shocking. He had so much going for him, and WAS SO talented. I was not referring to his attention as being bad at all. He does indeed deserve the attention. I was referring to the fact that he was so talented, and was not in the mix of the Britneys of the world. It's all very tragic.
when I found out...
I was recording my radio show when our producer stopped us, and looked at his phone as someone texted him the news. We all didn't stop b/c we didn't think it was true and almost laughed it off, like it was a joke. Just then I looked at my phone and had a few texts with the same messages. We were all in complete shock.

I was actually on the phone to my sister in Australia (where I am from) when the news broke across her TV screen. I cannot describe how shocked we were.
It is so unbelieveably sad and such a tragic loss to the world. I mean, I never met him or anything, but I just adored every time he lit up the screen.
The saddest thing for me is knowing that his tiny little girl will never get to know her gentle, trouble, vivid and incredibly talented father.
Poor Michelle and poor little Matilda Rose. My sympathies are with his family and everyone he was close to.
*sigh*
