Admin Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 man talk about a shock. They were talking about how it would affect the Dark Knight and that it would make it massively more successful. I am still kinda shocked about that and I can't imagine what he was going through to kill himself considering his future in Hollywood and having a daughter.

Admin chillzatl Posted January 23, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 They're saying they don't think it was suicide and was more likely an accidental overdose or a bad combination. He had pneumonia as well so who knows. he was a good young actor. At least we will get to see his full performance in The Dark Knight, as he finished all his post work already.

It's going to be so strange watching this movie now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yeah I heard that too but I don't buy it. How many people accidentally overdose on sleeping pills? I don't know what he was taking but I imagine it would take quite a few pills to overdose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin chillzatl Posted January 23, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 well you never know how a combination might react. Some cough medicine or something combined with sleeping pills might do you in. It's hard to say. I agree that nobody accidently takes a hand full of sleeping pills, but it doesn't look like that is what happened in this case. They also say he was taking ambien and you're not supposed to take that if you're having respiritory problems, which pneumonia would probably qualify.

Admin Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I also heard on the radio that he was exhausted from working on Batman only getting like 3 hrs of sleep per night and was really stressed out so that might have contributed to him getting pneumonia.

NJHAWK Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I can honestly say I have never even heard of him before this happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
