I read an interview that he did back in November (sorry don't have a link) and he said that he was having trouble sleeping. At the time he was only sleeping 1-2 hours a night. He probably was thinking 2 pills didn't do the trick last night so I'll take 3 this time. He took too much and he OD'd.

I hate to see anyone die so young.

I'll have some good thoughts for his family

It may have been an accidental OD....seems that way.

I always thought that being an actor would be somehow cathartic, since you get to choose to play roles that are not you IRL, but I guess I was wrong?
The Dark Knight will no doubt leave a bitter aftertaste just as The Crow did.

The first thing I thought was that he has a child, not very old and a partner, I didn't know if they had married since the interview I had seen.

Then I read that he and his partner had split up recently.

Whatever happens to be the cause, its sad when a life is lost, its sad when a child has to grow up with no Father.

I understand the idea of the 'overdose' is comforting to some, but let's be real. You cannot possibly be on medication for that amount of time and not know or understand the consequences. I won't believe that he was that uninformed. I hate to be the one to have to put it that way but those are my thoughts.
