Sad. Just sad.
At first I thought it was a joke.
His fansites are being hammered right now, and a few have even been pulled -- which when I think about it, was probably more of a decision made on the part of the web hosts, just so their networks wouldn't go down.
My prayers and thoughts go out to his family, friends and all his fans, who are no doubt, absolutely crushed by the news.

As you can expect, the meeja here has been going into overdrive...
When I heard the news first thing this morning (it broke about 8.30am Sydney time) I just didn't believe it. It was like a kick in the guts to me.
I wasn't a fan of Heefy - that doesn't mean that I disliked him or anything - but this news has really, really upset me.
I mean, I wasn't "a fan", but I had immense respect for the guy and the body of work that he was building.
This is a sad, sad case of wasted potential. I know this sounds harsh, but I almost wish that he had killed himself, because if not then fate is really fucking cruel to rob us of someone like this when there are so many far more deserving.
[At the time of writing the latest information is that it was an accidental overdose.]
My heart goes out to his daughter, and especially to his family in Perth, (who found out about his death via the radio news about 5am Perth time).
Rest in peace, Heefy.
Fuck I'm depressed...

That's the problem with the information age. News breaks almost as quickly as it happens. In this case, half the world knew before his poor family did. Not to mention the speculation. As usual, Fox News has been at the forefront.
*cough*vultures*cough*
I know we've often teased poor Heath in the past, but the fact is he was truly coming into his own. He wasn't afraid to take risks, and movies like Brokeback Mountain proved just how good he could be. Even his role in "The Dark Knight" (the latest of the Batman flicks) has some serious fucking teeth.
His Joker will definitely give Nicholson's a run for the money.
