Why is it when a celebrity dies?!


Question: everyone assumes the took a drug overdose or committed suicide - ie heath ledger. everyone starts gossiping.

does no one think about what these remarks may do to his family, friends, his colleaagues, his childs mother? he only died yesterday and everyone is drawing their own conclusions.

is it so hard to believe he may have died from natural causes. we read about it in the papers all the time, fit healthy young men and women just dropping dead from a heart attack either for no reason or from a medical problem that has been there for years but no one knew about.

so some pills were found near him, he was tired and couldnt sleep, he had also recenty been suffering fron pneumonia. if he would have taken a safe dose of sleeping pills it would have suppressed his reflex to cough and he would have suffocated in his sleep. or maybe the pills were just for a headache

he was not a reported drug user. he was someones son, friend and most importantly a daddy so leave him alone

I agree. He is the very last person I would believe to have done drugs or overdosed. Those sleeping pills were perscriptions. People should really just wait and see what the autopsy reports are. I laugh at all the people saying "he died of drugs. It's his fault. He's selfish because he commited suicide and left behind a daughter". etc. etc. etc.


hey person above me: they also said he had pneumonia. were you there to witness him dying? didn't think so. you don't know him, so be quiet. thanks.

I have heard that he took an overdoes of prescription drugs by mistake. Heath wasn't a druggie was he??? I don't think he was. So young; So sad. :(

I'm not going to judge what happened to him, but it was also noted that he abused drugs, including heroine, so they say, I'm sorry you feel this badly about it, but my guess is this was not a heart attack. Sometimes we put our actors on pedestals but remember, they are as human as we are and have the same problems, maybe more ,

only god knows

the media also had to throw in he was in bed naked... a la marilyn monroe.. who was also found naked...

what ever happened to letting the deceased rest in peace

it no-ones business what happened to cause his death. that should be kept between the medical personnel and the family members.

ugh the celebrity status is a blessing and a curse
you don't see just a regular joe q citizen's death being listed on all the newspapers now do you?

It makes more jobs for printers and reporters. Was it Hurst who said " never let the truth get in the way of a good story "?

unfortunately people will speculate, he is a celebrity and people think they own a piece of celebrities. And it is also a sad fact that most celebrities do dabble in drugs, comes with the territory, even people who you dont know about do drugs, so people will assume this is the cause.
Whatever the cause, it is still sad - he was a beautiful and talented young man - what a waste.

i totally agree the poor guy was majorly overworked and sick with pnuemonia they should stop focusing on drugs all the time it was obviously an accident.

he was a fantastic actor and will be dearly missed

Heath Ledger had pneumonia, now I also had that last October and was put into Hospital the difference is I'm a Shelia and have a chest problem and he was a bloke young and a Aussie who probably said no to going to hospital now folks theta typical of a young Australia bloke.
So he didn't do himself any favours but that's the way life is.
Him lying face down was a puzzle as you can hardly breath with pneumonia or he was having a bad coughing fit.
I just wish the doctor he seen had made him go to hospital,I'm sure his doctor must have known about his not sleeping to well.
Why don't doctors attend to the cause instead of dishing out pills all the time

True people are too quick to judge. But there are many many many many cases of celebrities dying from drug overdoses deliberate and accidental, even those with no history of drug use. And in this case yes there were pills involved. I don't know enough about him to know what it could have been, I'll wait for the autopsy results. BTW many actual (male) drug users are not reported drug users and almost all of them are someone's son, friend and daddy.

It is such an overwhelming tragedy. I'm still in shock.

His family is already fighting back on suicide claims, saying that Heath was very ill with Pneumonia. I believe that that was either the direct cause, or part of, his death. I refuse to believe that a young, talented father would kill himself until that speculation is PROVED.

Gob bless, and rest in peace.

I agree. His family is grieving enough, they don't need to hear stuff like that. And no, I don't believe he was the druggie type (of course, we weren't that well acquainted either). I think that's part of what makes his death so surprising - he was not a stereotypical "Hollywood IT kid." If Lindsey Lohen was found dead with a bunch of pills around her, it would still be tragic, but not surprising.

I'm pleased to seeing someone posting something sensible in contrast to the cruel "questions" swamping the site. Thank you for this consideration.

I commend my fellow posters for stating some very sensible ideas and theories. Prescription drugs DO kill people, even when they aren't abused. I'm certain this will be looked into, even it's not spread all over the papers.

A number of reports say that he was lying facedown on the floor, sounding as if he could have collapsed from illness or the drug(s) given to him. I once was given codeine; not long after, I was violently ill and ending up collapsing across my bed and was unconscious for many hours. So, there can be some dire responses.

Jim Henson also was supposed to have had pneumonia but refused to go to an emergency room or be hospitalized. From what I have read, he died at home before anything could be done. I have not read an updated report on this; I was working at a newspaper when his death occurred, so I have only that information. A crisis can occur without warning.

It is very sad that such a talented young actor has been lost, only a week after the death of another young man. Throughout the world, actors of various ages have been lost, one who was 100 years old! We'll always experience this: deaths far too soon contrasted with those who remained with us a very long time.

um....what he die of then? hiccups?
