sounds like probable heroin OD. Never understand this stuff, but he was pretty damn talented.

I saw that earlier. Damn, shame. I really liked him. It was a heroin overdose.

If it was a planned exit..Kudos. If he mistimed his dose or pulled an Elvis...for shame.

Great actor either way.

The next person who says he was a tortured soul is probably going to get hit in the face .
He was a drug addict who ruined his and his family's life .

These things are not necessarily mutually exclusive. People can be brilliant and completely fucked up.

LOL almost everybody good is fucked up.

He is great in the Master. I think that's the most recent thing I've seen with him in it.

I haven't heard that but yeah.

Apparently he had 23 years of sobriety before having a relapse with painkillers. Nobody goes into drug use expecting to end up like Amy Winehouse. Unless the moral judgment extends to anybody who uses any drugs/booze, I don't get the "he had it coming" celebratory tone from people.

Good riddance. Takes a giant fucking pussy to leave behind a wife and kids to the spike. If he was black I'm sure there'd be a much different sentiment around here.

Fuck you...if Morgan Freeman tapped out on H, I'd say...Damn...I will miss all those negro voice overs.


What;'s wrong with being a tortured soul? Everyone knows brilliance and madness or concomitant conditions...that's why crazy bitches fuck so good.

How would the opinions of those on this thread who criticized his choices be different?

I'd assume the overall sentiment would be "welp, another drug addict nig bites the dust" not "oh, what a poor tortured soul, he was a brilliant actor!"

Except that isn't their sentiment. Keep in mind the comments of the alleged 'racists' around here.

Now I'll never get a chance to ask him just wtf Synecdoche, NY was about.

He had Marisa Tomei. All downhill from there.

Ok, agreed there isn't as much of that on a second read through the comments. Still some. I just can't have any sympathy for him after failing his family that way. plus, he was a creepy fuck.

I didn't see any, but that's quibbling-- he should have been there for his family first, bottom line. We agree on that.
