Human Decency and Hollywood Hype

In regards to the recent news of Heath Ledger's passing, one can only be saddened at the news. I found out late last night cause I wasn't near a television until around seven or eight o'clock last night. So needless to say, it came as a complete surprise when I was playing Dofus and browsing DA watches to see it announced there

I know, it's terrible. People can be so insensitive sometimes. They were saying on CNN that Michelle Williams likely found out on tv or online because of how rapidly the news spread. That would be so awful if true. I really think that the paparazzi/press/average jerk needs to just take a step back and not be such jackasses. The conjecture in the first few hours was terrible -- speculating that he was in Mary-Kate's apartment when he died, that he was trying to get back at his ex-fiancée in a bid for attention, etc. It's just sick. I mean, he was just a normal guy that happened to have a few hit movies, you know? He wasn't always in the news for stupid things like Britney and Lindsay. It seems that it must've been just a tragic accident, but even if it wasn't, the lack of respect for a fellow person has just astounded me.
