8. Very depressing news. It's hard to imagine that someone who's an accomplished actor and has things like family, friends, and money to afford a comfortable lifestyle would want to take his own life.

I hope he gets the help he needs.

14. 1. Its so sad. I just hope he will find the help he needs. PEOPLE AND THE MEDIA SHOULD PLEASE LET HIM GET THE PROPER CARE HE NEEDS IN PRIVACY. BEING DEPRESSED DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HAVING ALL THE MONEY/FAME IN THIS WORLD. I am a very depressed person and what people see all the time is this happy person . Is all front. My heart goes to you Owen. I hope you get all the love,care,support that you need. Please reach out to your families and your loved ones in this trying period as that is #1 step in getting over depression. I believe with time,love and your family there, you will be just very fine. Please do not take your own life as there is a lot of things that you have achieved and still achieving there for you. My love and support to you. People and the Media are quick to judge and i hope they will PLEASE,PLEASE AND PLEASE LET HIM HEAL IN PRIVACY.
