I just read that... that is freaky... (sad, but freaky).
Reports say his room was strewn with pills, and his death may have been accidental. This is probably a naive thing to say but I didn't picture him as a drug taker...

Be hard pressed to find anyone in film/TV/entertainment who hasn't partaken...

big sweeping statement, i'd suggest we only hear the negative stuff & surely there would be a lot that don't partake !!

Geez in the last 6 months we've seen a lot of mental-health related deaths both in Aust and O/S
Very sad news condolences to his family and friends that would be a devastating shock
He will have a big posthumas (sp?) year as he played the Joker in "The Dark Knight" (sequel to "Batman Begins") due to be released mid this year

Stunning news, was a pretty good actor who we didn't get to see enough of (damn his personal standards and general pickiness).
Another child with one parent gone for any reason just adds to the sadness.

news saying totally an accident also there was a g'day usa party happening in the vicinity, not sure if that is significant or not.
definately looks to be an accidental overdose on prescription pills

He could've been anything.
On another note - I'm hoping Sally Fletcher is okay about this news and not too upset
