I'd sort of been on his case since Ten things I hate about you. He really had me at BBM, enough to trust him to make it worthwhile to watch the sequel of the godawful Batman Begins - I really think he had it in him not to be too outshone playing a character once embodied by Jack Nicholson.
I am not sure about what caused his untimely death, and I don't care to know. His business is his own. I can only hope that, wherever he is, he may find peace in direct proportion to the joy and delight that he has brought so many people. That his family may have strenght and serenity, and that the media don't be too much of a hassle.
