--- Quote ---I'm sure I speak for everyone (or just about) here when I say there is nothing I'd like more in the realm of reality now than to have the toxicology results come back negative. Not just to spare Heath's name, and his family and loved ones, all the bullshit that comes with a drug overdose by a star. But so these tabloid assholes could look to *everyone* exactly like what we know they really are: self-serving idiots.

Very well said, ednbarby. I heard some idiot that came out of the woodworks saying she scored heroin for Heath, once. They're trash!

Hi all. I am a huge fan of Brokeback Mountain, and the initial first days of not knowing how Jake was taking Heath's death had me bewildered. I didn't understand why he didn't make a statement. I know now that Jake is taking this very hard. I am so sorry Jake is taking this so hard. I know what it feels like to loose friends because of drugs. It's very difficult, sad and hard to get over.
The toxology results come back on Feb. 5th I hope the toxology report on Heath comes back negative for drugs. CNN and the upcoming issue of People magazine speculate that drugs are what caused the early end to this man's life; a wonderful actor, movie star, father, son, brother, friend all that Heath was. Ennis Delmar.. Jack's Ennis...Our Ennis.

Anyway, here is a link to People.com where there is the article about Jake taking Heath's death "harder than most." It also tells about Jake putting Heath's picture up in the cell as kind of a joke. It's sweet too though. Hope the link works.

The thing that bothers me the most is that I truly do not believe that Heath died of a drug overdose.. I havent thought that from the beginning. Its these recent reports that of friends in hollywood saying he was on drugs that has me worried.. I truly in my heart have always thought that Heath died from natural causes

Either way, I don't feel it's justified for the press and gossip tabloids to pass judgment on the cause of death. It's an enormous tragedy no matter what the cause. Sometimes I feel like with the press/tabloid urge to press the "drug overdose" story too far, there's an underlying sense of "blaming the victim." To me that's just so unfair.
The thing I hope the most (in any scenario leading up to his passing away) is that he wasn't truly sad or depressed like some reports also seem to suggest. To me that's the most important thing.
