The article said he played a suicidal role recently. . .guess life imitated art. So sad so many celebrities are messed up. . .nothing or no one to keep them grounded.
I read today that the Joker role in the new Batman movie really got to him and he was on antidepressants and was having terrible dreams. This so sad. He was definitely one of my favorite actors. I thought of his small child too, this is so sad.
Not to make light of his death, but you know stars tend to die in groups of three. I wonder who the next two are going to be.
Renfro was more of a child star, he was the kid in The Client....so so sad for all.... http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20173014,00.html

So I guess we shouldn't feel sorry for his 2 year old? Any loss of life so young for no good reason is a tragedy. It in no way decreases the same feelings I have for our service members and their families. :?
