Shame the guy took the cowards way out, but there you go.
Even if it had been suicide (which it almost certainly wasn't) I never understand why people describe suicide as cowardly. It just doesn't make any sense.
Arguably it's misguided but it takes a lot of guts to kill yourself. Most of us have a very strong innate fear of death and it takes a lot of willpower to overcome that.
I'm sorry mate but your comments do not make any sense. Like the comment: "Even if it had been suicide (which it almost certainly wasn't)". That proved you knew very little on the subject matter.
I am speaking about an actor who was celebrated and respected in the acting field. We can look at overdoses that were non accidental like Marilyn Monroe, or Judy Garland, (or even Elvis if you look at it this way) as they knew full well what they were doing, but also had a mental issue like depression being the ticket out.
Now there is pain, all different kinds of pain people suffer that can turn intentional suicide like Richard Farnsworth over a long period of time. But Heath's pain was lack of sleep, and his schedule for films and life in general would probably put him into this bracket. Or was it? Hard to know when you were not there, but one can speculate.
Remember I had read up on this before posting, and got all the viewpoints. I suggest you do the same. Its very interesting reading. Completely different to what I knew on the subject.
I think it is a waste to take your own life, and a terrible sin. It doesn't take much to take yourself out. You just need the trigger.
But like I said in my previous post.
Art does not reflect life. Especially his.
But his role in the Batman film, definitely, was brilliant.
