From stories I've heard about Heatley... not a giant surprise. If you want to survive into your mid/late thirties you've got to keep yourself in top shape.

Killing a friend would take a huge toll on anyone.
I think a lot of people gloss over the fact he has to find a way to live with that.

Hard to find sympathy for him there.

Heatley was charged with vehicular homicide; he pleaded guilty to second-degree vehicular homicide, driving too fast for conditions, failure to maintain a lane, and speeding.
That is pretty cold. I am assuming you have never gone over the speed limit in your entire life? Or is it that just because you haven't totalled your car yet, you are a better person than him?

Accidents happen.
I'm not sure this

In late September 2003, Heatley drove his Ferrari approximately 130 km/h down a narrow, two-lane Atlanta road when he spun out of control and smashed into a brick and wrought-iron fence.
really constitutes an accident. Particularly after drinking earlier in the night (although below the limit)

If he was below the limit (which could be one drink he had with his meal), then I don't think it has anything to do with the accident.
Sure, it was wreckless driving but I am also sure almost all people in their teens and early twenties would do the same to test out their new ferrari
the intent wasnt there so I believe it was an accident. Furthermore, I am sure he deals with the consequences every day of his life so I find it a bit cold not to sympathize with him.

No one seems to think that even though Snyder passed away in the crash I am sure he was in the front seat cheering Heatley on and having a blast.
I am not trying to be cold but the reality is its not like Heatley wanted to kill his friend and I highly suspect Snyder was enjoying the ride. Accidents happen and sometimes people pay the ultimate price.
I for one don't hold it against him. People make mistakes.

Reckless. It sure wasn't wreck-less

I will say that Heatley and his lack of dedication should be a cautionary tale for Kessel. Heatley put up some big numbers in his prime and now he's likely done at age 33.
Fan altercation between a Leafs and Senators fan last night.

BIG TUNA ALERT.
Heatley had a lot of injuries, including that horrific car wreck. Not the same situation.
