Actor Heath Ledger's Sudden Death

Heath Ledger's death has come as a shock to all of us. The 28-year-old actor was found in his New York apartment and the cause of death is yet to be revealed, but possible over dose is what has been said.
I've read so many articles about the incident that I really do not know what to believe anymore. I just hate the fact that so much has been said about the actor and no one realizes how much that hurts his family. Not only did they hear about his death on the television, being in Australia, but they also have to listen to the media speculate about their family members death. Yes, being an actor/actress does come with hassle of dealing with the media at all times, but don't they know when enough is enough?

Frances,
This is a significant topic. What happened to Heath Ledger may be a metaphor for the impact of fame. It has clearly gone too far. Why does media get away with breaking so many rules of common decency? To invade privacy to this extent?

It's a lot to think about.
