He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) Wow, I hope he finished his The Dark Knight scenes. He also played Mel Gibson's character's son in The Patriot. Edited January 22, 2008 by Lt. Van Roy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrPsychic 1 Posted January 23, 2008 So young, such a good actor. I'll always miss him. I just hope he finds the peace he was looking for if it was a suicide. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen of Borg 2 Posted January 23, 2008 they are now saying that it was an accidental overdose. He had terrible times trying to fall asleep and they think it was not a suicide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted January 23, 2008 In all honesty, I couldn't care less. I mean, I feel bad for his family and what they're going through right now, and I feel bad about the fact that his kids will no longer have a father... those are always things to feel bad about. But the fact that he died... so what? I'm sick and tired about every time a celebrity dies, it's all you hear about for a while. It's like we're expected to feel bad just because they're celebrities. Maybe they should start making big deals about the deaths of everyone else. Either that, or relegate mention of these celebrities deaths to the mortuary pages, where all the other death notices go.

There are probably a lot of people that feel the same way. I've seen a lot of things in the news lately that made me cry - like idiots throwing babies off bridges; but the death of a celebrity isn't usually one of those things and I agree that being an actor doesn't somehow make your life more important.
