    Just a rumor, but CNN references a New York Times report that he was actually in one of the Olsen twin's apartments at the time. Obviously conflicting w/ the masseuse report.

    10 Things I Hate About You was my first intro too him too Dave. I remember it was supposed to come out just after 9-11 and they wanted them to change the name of the movie... but they wouldn't. So they delayed theatrical release for months.

    Wow, that really sucks. I loved him in The Patriot and was really looking forward to his Joker portrayal.

    No they split

    He had been linked to Miranda Kerr (Aussie Model) over the last few months.

    I believe they just had a daughter but were engaged and split last October

    btw hf, I think 10 Things came out in '99 about the same time American Pie came out

    No. Chicks don't like Batman the same way they do the Titanic love story.

    Could playing the Joker have led to this?

    TMZ is saying death was accidental.

    That site will update news faster than any out there.

    I thought he was phenomenal and should have won the Oscar in Brokeback Mountain. Very convincing of a Poke you never would have expected to live that other life (much superior in the role than that Jake actor fellow). Gutsy to take the role too.

    Shame, RIP

    I think its garbage if people think this happened because of him preparing to be Joker, if that's the case, he would be a homosexual after doing Brokeback Mountain.

    A New York Times article (I can't find it so I didn't bring it up) mentions how he took Ambien but it didn't help after the first few times. I'm just saying it's possible that he took high doses of sleeping pills and possibly got hooked. It's happened to famous people ranging from Matthew Perry to Brett Favre.

    EDIT: Found it.

    Just terrible. I'm in shock and just flabbergasted. Michelle and his daughter must be in a serious world of hurt right now. My condolences go out to his friends and family. Hollywood will definitely miss his talent.
