well he did do a lot of charity work and spent a lot of his cash helping others which is more than can be said for most Hollywood actors. And yes someone you know about or like or know matters to you more than any other human being its just simple fact 
You care more if your friend died than some random man you've never heard of right?
Actually pretty much all Hollywood actors which make a large salary give money to charities. It's a tax write off, and its good publicity. Now if he wrote in his will to give a bunch of money to charities, money he wouldn't be getting back from tax write offs... I would be impressed.
I mean it's sad that he died, He probably has family which are very affected by his passing... but its pretty pathetic how everyone focuses on him just because he was famous, when there were 2 people that died in the crash.
