This is horrible and really surprising. Apparently it is suspected to be drug-related :S. I was watching Much Music when they announced it :S
I am in total shock. RIP. Poor Matilda
Im shocked. My thoughts are with his family.
So, so sad. What a waste of talent.
Poor Michelle and Matilda :( He had so much promise and talent. Not that i wish death on anyone because i dont, but why have the REALLY talented people always gotta be the first to go :( so sad so sad
oh my god! im ...in...shock!
I am speachless!
I´m so shcoked. Didn´t even thought the guy could be an addict. so sad.
Rest in Peace
i have no words! so not expecting this one.
I did not see this coming. He seemed like a normal, unaffected person and great family man. He is the last person I thought would do drugs. Maybe it was suicide. I hope he rests in peace.
I am so shocked. And saddened. His poor little girl!
Oh. My. God. His daughter! His family! Poor guy! I could not immagine the pain! Little Mitilda will never get a chance to really know her father, and that brings tears to my eyes.
He will be sorely missed - such a great actor. Way too young to go. God rest his soul.
wow. that is so terrible :(
So sad.
So sad. Condolences to his family and friends.
I am sooooooo shocked.
This is very sad. So sorry for Michelle and Matilda
i am freaked out by this.
I feel AWFUL for his little girl. I mean, honestly, what could be SO BAD that you take your life away from your little girl? I mean, sorry if you are unhappy, but why do this to your daughter? I cannot imagine what could be so bad.
I wonder how MKO is? sheesh
ugh, this makes my tummy hurt.
this is so horirble.. my brother told me before i read it on here and i just got shivers down my spin and went cold and in shock. hes the last person who i thoguht would die of a drug overdose.. i guess that shows how much people actually know celebs. i cant believe in a coupel years he was in a happy marriage with a beautiful girl and wanting 12 kids to dieing from a drug overdose. poor little girl. this is so horrible
oh man that stinks!
I am just in utter shock. What a waste of such great talent. Drug related deaths (if that is what this is) are the worst because they are preventable. I wish someone had done an intervention. Someone had to know what was going on.
If it were suicide then I feel even worse. How sad. How sad. I feel for his daughter and his family. What a loss.
TMZ is reporting on this every couple minutes. More info then you can keep up with!
So sad...
This is so sad! That poor baby, first they split up and now her daddy is dead :(
Such a tragedy, he was so young and so talented!
I feel for the family!
RIP Heath
May God be with Maltilda and Michelle at this tragic time
Oh my god. I am in such shock. I used to live in Manhattan and would occasionally see Heath walking about the West Village. Once I saw him pushing Matilda in her stroller and I smiled at him and he grinned back and waved. He was a beautiful, striking man, not to mention immensely talented. One of the most brilliant actors of his generation. Whether his death was intentional or unintentional, I wish that someone close to him would have had the foresight to know that something was not right in his world and helped him in some way. May his family and his darling little girl find comfort in these hard days/weeks/months to come.
RIP Heath
