WEll his marriage broke up after 3 years and he was working on a moivie . His friends and family said he was burning the candle at both ends. I hope it was nothing more than an accidental perscription overdose and not a depression induced sucide. I liked him and he could act. He was compared to a young Marlon Brando or James DEan. I even thought he did an excellent job playing a man who was tortured by his homosexuality in Brokeback Mountain. I felt like in that movie his character wasted his life over something he couldn't have and wasted opportunities with people who could be with. It was a sad depressing movie and I did feel like crying at the end. Now I feel the same way about his real life ending. WHAT a waste of great actor and man. The silver screen will be a much sadder place now without him on it.
