As a father of a 2 year old I cannot imagine his family are feeling.A terrible waste. I know father well and they will be shattered.
But as it does not have anything to do with our Blues
onward and upward!

Seems like he wasn't acting in Candy after all. What a waste.

RIP Heath. Sorry you had to go out by 'over indulging', while there are millions dying around the world with nothing.

Not so fast. Police have told family it was accidental. Had pneumonia and sleep deprivation, took sleeping pills. Appears to have been completely accidental.

lets waste for the autopsy first ODN!!!

many different reports so far!!
 
Whatever the cause this is an utter tragedy. Condolences to his family, especially his little girl.

Bloody talented actor. Loved his performance as Jimmy in Two Hands, one of great Aussie movies of all time.

R.I.P. Heath.

Hmm, can you OD on a few sleeping pills, pneumonia or no pneumonia ?

Very true, but for the moment I would rather err on the side of the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

He certainly didn't have a party boy or a drug taking reputation.

Would rather spare the barbs about selfish endings in case it turns out to be quite the opposite.
 
Sounds like a new chapter for Hollywood Babylon to me.

Sure can.
Just ignore the prescribed dose or misread it.........badly........

It does sound sus, but Monroe OD'd on sleeping pills, as did her look alike last year, Anna Nicole.

Agree with wait for the official view, as Heath seemed a bit smarter than these girls and I wouldn't have thought he'd accidently take half the bottle, but hey, if he was on painkillers, may not be thinking clearly......etc.

I think you have to be a reasonably sized dill to accidentally OD on sleeping pills

Sorry, didn't realise you were taking "a few" literally. Then the answer is no......unless you have some allergic reaction.

Otherwise, it's not about being a dill......you dill.:p

It's more whether the medications you are on allow you full use of your faculties or not.
Example: Already on pain killers affecting short term memory.......take 2 sleeping pills, sit down watch T.V. waiting for them to kick in.......have a drink......or two........think to yourself, Did I take my sleeping pills? Take a couple more, think they aren't working so this time you pop 4-5 instead of two......plus the first two - before you know it there are 6-8 tablets in your system...........etc.

OR

you either deliberately take half a bottle...........or, like Anna Nicole, you take more because you are REALLY tired........the more tired you are the more pills you take..........DILL.:thumbsu:
 
Very true BB. The point is that he could have taken a lot of sleeping pills without it being a case of meaning to overdose. Lack of sleep and pneumonia, well you would be looking to pass out for a while and you already would not be of sound mind without adding sleeping pills to the equation. You can overdose by accident under these circumstances.

At 3.30 in the afternoon :rolleyes: While it is feasible, it is highly unlikely in my book.

I had have laryngitis (at least that is what the doctor who made a house call said) and slept pretty much all week, lost 10 kgs and a shit load of medication. I had no idea what time of day it was and nor did I care. You just want to get better.

I said feasible........anyway, lets not clutter this board with senseless speculation, never a good thing to happen no matter the circumstances

Agreed. I just find that serious illnesses cause you to have no awareness of the time of day. Not just a case of sleeping late, shaking off the cobwebs and going about your day. I remember being sick one time, not being able to take care of my daughter, sitting under hot water in the shower shivering until the hot water ran out. All I wanted was to survive in my mind. Kind of scary in the light of this that sick people are left to their own devices. Should have someone around to keep watch and dispense medication at all times.

In my line of work I have treated and had loads of contact with people with various ilnesses.

If he had pneumonia, and it was a big infection, high fever etc, you can really lose your marbles.

Yes, with the recent split from his girl, there may well be more to it, but it is possible that it was an accident.

Grybas on the other hand..........never did here the outcome of the autopsy.:rolleyes:
Maybe its my cynical mind, but it seems the media decided to let sleeping dogs lie.........if it was a prominent AFL footballer then they would be hounding anyone they could to be the first to publish the COD.
 
Was hardly a big fan of his work, only saw 1 movie with him in it (The Brothers Grimm), but my condolences nontheless
