First news story to catch my eye today: Andy Hallett, who was an actor on the show "Angel," passed away from heart failure last night at the young age of 33.
I won't lie: I'm stunned. Sure, he wasn't considered a "popular" star (unless you're a fan of "Angel," which I am), but even despite that, the facts alone are heartwrenching. What really got me was the fact that he'd been battling heart disease for the last 5 years. I had NO idea.
And it's strange. When you hear of a young star's death, the "norm," sad as it is, is that it was a drug or alcohol-related. It seems like rarely does it come up that you hear about actors/actresses dying of a natural disease. But then again, that doesn't stop it from being all the more devastating either.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Andy's family, friends and every "Angel" fan out there who's been affected by this tragic loss. R.I.P. Andy. You will be sorely missed.

Yes, it is sad.....but when you hear 33 - sadly the instant response is - "gotta be drugs" - and that's truly the sad part.
