He was pretty famous actor and I don't remember hearing anything about his death on the News. I wouldn't have even known he was dead if I didn't read about it on the internet.

He was not a popular actor and not very admired either

hahaha
nice trolling, rabksaj.
His death was very public at the time. Weeks of coverage. Maybe you were distracted because he died on Super Bowl Sunday? I have no idea why you didn't hear about it.

He was on the Australian news on tv but not much else, unlike Michael Jackson who were talked about through tv news and radio throughout the whole week

It got tons of publicity. His death was very well covered.

It was all over CNN on Superbowl Sunday, cover of Rolling Stone magazine, not a hidden event.

Perhaps you were watching something different that week. His death was big news. News stations, papers and magazines all did large exposs about him. Some having coverage about him for multiple days.

If you think his death did not recieve a lot of press I would suggest cutting down on the Internet porn and start watching some news once in a while.
