I'm hoping it was accidental. He supposedly was having trouble sleeping since working on the Batman movie - it sounds like his Joker was really getting inside his head.

And Hollywood won't change its habits after this anymore than it did after River Phoenix died of an OD outside of Johnny Depp's club.

Well, I still get a little sad everytime I pass by The Viper Room.

I'm really shocked and sad. I'm shocked that I'm so sad. I really liked him and thought he had alot of potential, especially after Brokeback Mountain. His performance was amazing.

Young Hollywood needs to wake up, but sadly I don't think they will.

They said that his breakup with Michelle was more of a sad one and that they talked everyday. I can't imagine what she is feeling right now. I think I'm more shocked about his death because he wasn't in the limelight, out partying hard every night. You never really heard about his life besides his movies and the very little we heard about his marriage. And I admire that he was very picky about his roles and didn't just choose some because of the money. He was a true actor who just wanted to act and he was amazing at it. Hollywood lost a good one today.

No I don't mean for this to be disrespectful. Someone made it, I saw it, so now I'm posting to share.

I feel the same way. I am saddened and, at the same time, surprised that this has touched me in this way (Celebrity deaths don't general upset me too much). But with this, I am like looking up old articles, watching old interviews...I guess looking for something that makes this make sense.
I feel like, in some weird way, I grew up with this guy and I admired his talent. This is really tragic, whatever the circumstances.

Ditto over here. I think it hit me so hard that I found out just a couple hours after his body was even found. I'm shocked that it got to the news so fast, but also knowing that he was found just a couple hours before rocked me, like he was just right there....

And this gets even worse...I hate to quote tmz.com (but I haven't found a link on MSNBC or CNN (although I have heard it on MSNBC).

There is speculation that illegal drugs have been found in his apartment, and are being tested by the NYPD.

And the search for an answer continues.

I hope no one (i.e. fans, GCers, etc.) gets up in arms over these speculations and investigations. His family and friends are really the only ones who should be so emotionally invested in this search for an answer. You never 100% know what people do when they aren't around you or what they're capable of. All we know is that there are accidental and intentional deaths from substances.

Speculation as to why some people are taking this so hard:

when these people die young...it hurts because some of them go when they are about to really make it big in whatever it is that they do and usually when they die it's 'mysterious' or a 'tragic' manner and many of us are really unsettled because there is that untapped potential they had right at the point of death especially when they are close in age.

For instance...Bruce Lee and his son Brandon, were on the verge of mainstream stardom....

Aaliyah and left Eye also died in tragic accidents

Marilyn Monroe and Anna Nicole Smith are another 2 to come to mind...

Sorry I can't include Tupac and Biggie Smalls because IMO their deaths were senseless...however a lot of people were affected

There are a few others I can't name right off the bat but this is what comes to my mind when you have tragic deaths of celebs that right when they are about to hit it big are snatched from us....

Does that make sense?
