I work around disability and death all the time, so unless if I feel a REALLY strong personal attachment, it's always just 'yeah, that sucks' then I move on. Inevitably the tributes will pour out, and it has started, yeah. I just get back to work the next day and work with seriously grieving people.
But with him- this was a genuine surprise, absolutely. I could see River Phoenix dying young from a mile away. This guy seemed pretty clean cut. Only just saw I'm Not There, too, and he was pretty good in that.
Heh, I saw Roar too. Not one of his finer moments. He was deservedly in good company for his Brokeback nomination a coupla years back. Definitely the best young Aussie actor over the last few years- only Cate Blanchett would be ahead of him among Aussie actors.
River Phoenix.........wow..........that really messed me up when he died.
RIP Heath
Me too :( i was completely devastated. I was 13 and totally in love with him

i just cant seriously shed a tear for someone i dont know.....
all he was to me was some multi-millionaire actor.....
who may have/or may not have......
overdosed on drugs.....
and thats all he is to me......
so if Ed died it wouldn't occur to you that that's the end of the tours, no more new albums, it's the end of a pretty huge part of our lives.
I don't care for Heath but I can tell many people did. Are you into sport? What if the best player on your team died suddenly... at the very least you'd be a bit shocked, no?

No need to jump all over the people who are sympathetic to a dead person neither. that's my point!
there's plenty of RIP threads in here, if I don't have any good to say, I'll just leave the thread alone.
Exactly! There are some people here who think they're funny to jump into a thread like this and make fun of the people who DO give a fuck. Unfortunately those pathetic people will always exist... ah well, whatever makes them happy eh?

I remember watching him do an interview about the making of Brokeback Mountain, and Heath told him how hard the loves scenes were and how he was so uncomfortable. He definetly did it for the money...Jake on the other hand didn't have a problem with it!!
As for that link to that ridiculous site "god hates fags"..if their were a God then I guess he hates believers too since he lets people go into Churches and kill....get serious!!

Its a shame he died, he had a promising career in front of him. What sucks though is the that just because he's dead he'll be hailed as an actor of Dustin Hoffman-like ability for the next few weeks or months. Has it been confirmed what the cause was?

There were suggestions of an overdose, and if thats true I think it will be hard to feel as much sympathy for the guy, drug problems in many cases are self inflicted and it would be a poor reflection on him. Dying of a overdose is a shitty way to be remembered.

perfectly stated. if it was any member of Pearl Jam these people would not have that response. they'd be devastated.
There were suggestions of an overdose, and if thats true I think it will be hard to feel as much sympathy for the guy, drug problems in many cases are self inflicted and it would be astill poor reflection on him. Though a guy in work last night mentioned there something about him getting a divorce or something recently and that might have had something to do with it? I'm ignorant of it so I don't have a clue.
Drug use is stupid and totally not the answer to anyone's problems, but I do feel sympathy for the people who chose to go that horrific route. I think he had trouble sleeping and took his ambien along with another sleepaid that just didn't mix with it....I take Ambien sometimes and there is a ton of mediciation over the counter that is deadly with it. Lack of sleep can make a person crazy!!

Again, thats the problem with word of mouth, when I was told 'od' it was made to sound like a motley crue party, it would be even more tragic if it was from mixing sleeping pills by accident.

as much as i admire pearl jam.....and other bands, athletes, actors...blah blah blah....
i cant see myself reduced to tears over a strangers death.....

I don't consider an actor, Britney, a musician, etc a perfect stranger... They are famous, on the tv, on the news, etc, so they are known to you...
I have never met Matt Cameron, does that make him a stranger? If he died, should I not care?

It's not so hard to believe. Some people owe so much to pearl jam, their music helped them through the most difficult times in their lives. They've been "with" pearl jam since the beginning. The band members aren't 'perfect strangers' anymore.
I'm not saying I would cry, but I'd certainly be shocked and very sad about the news.
Besides, I don't think it really matters that he was a multimillionaire actor, he was 28 years old and his death was untimely, he was also very talented and on top of that a 2-year-old girl is left without a father.
the death of a young person is tragic no matter what the cause.
and it hits close to home whether you personally know the person or not.
famous people come into our homes and lives in films and tv and music and they do affect our lives.
some of us are just more emotional and/or empathetic...
some of us feel things more strongly and our emotions are closer to the surface.
it doesn;t make anyone wrong or right or strong or weak...
it's just what makes us different from each other.
it's just not right to make someone feel bad or wrong for having strong emotional reactions.
Exactly! ANY time I read about a young person die in the papers it's very very sad. I don't normally cry. I cried for that 17 year old swiss girl who arrived in the country on a Saturday and was raped and murdered on the Monday :( and I didn't know her or anything about her but anyone who said you'd be stupid to cry over that is just a wee bit heartless.
Like I said I wasn't a fan of Heath at all but I'm sure those who WERE would have known bits about him... maybe even little things like who his wife was, what his daughter was called. You may never have met the person but when you know little bits of information about them, they're more than a stranger to you.

my husband and I were riding home together from work when I heard it on the news. I felt horrible. I just read an article on MSN that said he slept 2 hours a night in november and only slept 1 hour from 2 Ambiens. I feel so sorry for him, he was full of anxiety. I know exactly how he felt. May he rest in peace now.
I loved him in Knight's Tale and Brokeback Mountain. I bought "the order" just because he was in it. :(
