Aw - a real shame and loss.

Also hope the media vultures give his family some peace.

I thought A Knight's Tale and Brokeback Mountain were both great.

You mean like they did for the Spears, Anna Nicole, and every other famous people. They're not going to drop this unless something else (they think) important happens. I just hope they don't tell to his kid about this.

Considering different news sources are reporting different 'facts' (I won't dignify them by putting them here) I doubt this will go away; it's a shame. They should report his death, of course, but any speculation of the circumstances shouldn't be turned into lurid headlines. Praise the guy's work, but leave the authorities to determine the cause of death.
Modern journalism (with few exceptions) sickens me.

I completely understand.

It is a shame when anyone that young dies, especially someone that talented. I just turned 28 on the 21st. The media will run him into the ground until the next big thing and that is just sad. I read that some church is going to be at his funeral protesting because he played a homo***ual in Brokeback. GIVE ME A BREAK! I for one have never seen what the big deal is about actors, actresses etc. They are just normal people doing their jobs. The only time I want to hear about them is when it has something to do with their work. I could care less about their personal lives. My thoughts go out to his family and true friends. May he rest in peace.
