If someone steps in front of a car on purpose--and jumps out of the way over and over and over and then not be fast enough---what would we say? What an idiot? What a moron? What do you expect with such behavior. But instead because he is a celebrity we say "So sad." Why do we romanticise the stupidity of celebrities just because they are famous? I liked his acting too but he was no different than a a junkie in the street--bad choices, bad choices. SK said as much in On Writing.
I understand your view and value your opinion. But Just hear me out.
I don't understand why people feel the need to speak ill of the dead. This is something I learned a long time ago. The dead are to be respected no matter what crimes they committed on this earth. No one deserves to die before his time. The person you call "a junkie on the street" is someone's child, mother, sister, daughter, father or friend.
Think of his family and what they are going through and how they feel when they read these harsh judgement.
People are free to say what they want. But there is a way to do it with a little class.
