    Drug overdose is rumoured.
    Hope this is not the case, but it is sad whatever way he went.

    Wow.  I actually had to check thinking he couldn't be 'that' old.  Great actor and very sad news.

    Sad for one to go so young. He played a great part in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
    And they said that in our time, all that's good will fall from grace, even Saints would turn their face, in our time.

    Really?

    Poor bugger, a belting actor.

    First saw him in dead poets society, he was a scene stealer even back then.

    Would it be any more socially acceptable for you if he had a cigarette in his mouth, or a box of chocolates in his ass?

    nothing to do with being socially acceptable, its about being a fucking great twat when you're fortunate enough have a wife and young kids

    So.... if he'd choked to death on an olive in his bath tub, would you be a little more sympathetic to him?

    yes that would have been a tragic accident. This was sticking a needle in your arm to get fix when you've got a 3 young kids who depend on you. Selfish and avoidable.

    Addiction is fucking complicated. As is suicide (has that been ruled out?)

    Seems people are very quick to judge....

    Addictions are horrible, horrible mental illnesses.   Poor sod must have been in a really bad place.

     

    Sympathies to him and his family.

    Tears mean nothing to you. You're dead inside and are sorely lacking in the humanity department.

    Anyway.... to me, it's really bloody awful. As well as the ramifications for his family, the world just lost a great talent.

    I don't think he or his family would want your priggish sympathies anyway.

    He struggled with drugs - kicked the habit and started again after 23 years of being clean.

    It sounds like he wanted to fight it as he booked into a clinic to help him.

    That's no short measure of time or self-control, so what might happen that would cause someone to give up?
