• 17. We don't know that he overdosed at all. He was sick before coming home from London. Everyone on the set there knew he was sick. We now know he did not have pneumonia. As it turns out he did not have enough drugs in his system to overdose. Maybe he was just sick with the flu or an infection. He has a little girl that he loved more than anything in life and if we really care for him we should keep this in mind while idly speculating. Give him and his family a chance to realize what did really happen and pray hard for them during this time. And now to Heath. He really proved that if you believe in yourself and are really good at what you do and work really hard to do it that it is possible to succeed beyond your wildest expectation. Thank you heath for reminding us all of this. You can rest well knowing that the world will love your little girl for you. I will see you in my dreams.

• 19. Hate to say it but you are right... He was a drug addict who should have thought about his daughter before mixing drugs and overdosing. There are FAR more tragic deaths than this one. Kids die of cancer every day. Now his daughter has no dad because of his own actions. Feel sorry for the daughter.

• 20. He was a talented actor, but lets face it... If you have a child, it is your responsibility to make sure you are around for her and not irrisponsible. Although this is tragic, i feel sorry for his daughter that he wasnt more responsible. He was careless, whther you want to accept that or not. Millions of people die every day. Unles you knew him, get over it, honestly. Whether it was an accident or not, the bottom line is, you should mess around with drugs when you have a daughter to take care of. If you mess with the bull, you are gonna get the horns. I pray for his daughter.

• 27. There is not a better place for him other than where he was. Right here with his family, daughter & friends. My heart goes out to all of them. May Michelle come to terms with the loss of her childs father. She seems like an amazing mother & my sincere condolences are with her during this tragic loss. Sad, they are unable to do it in private. So sad to lose such an amazing actor or anyone for that matter at such a young age.

You were true to yourself and to the ones you love. I hope no one ever forgets that. May your spirit and joy for life live on in your beautiful daughter. We were lucky to have you in this world
