The assumption here is that 'fame' was the main or only reason for his apparent suicide or the least that we can say, his death. Perhaps 'fame' took a backseat to another reason, or reasons. As of this moment we don't know, and perhaps we will never know.

The greatest lost will be to us, who have already seen his promise in these film vehicles. I shall miss that obvious talent of becoming the person he played - I know not the rest.

WHEN TEEN IDOLS START BALDING BOO TICKETY HOO

Honestly, thousands of young men and women, with far fewer opportunities commit suicide every year.

Countless other men and women died in combat in WWII and today in Afghanistan in an effort to help their fellow citizens, and some would argue, their fellow man.

When I see a front page story on the New York Times for every one of those people, I will pay attention to this guy, as much as I like some of his films.
