A friend just mailed me today and I'm aghast! It doesn't seem fair for such a guy to die. Y'all seem to insinuate he was a junkie. Well most of these celebrities are but I'd like to know the real circumstances surrounding his death.
Re: Heath Ledger Is Dead by Lola4eva(f): 11:45am On Jan 23, 2008
I'll always remember him for his role in "10 things i hate about you", one of the early high school movies, im soooooooo sad, his career was just taking off, really really sad
Re: Heath Ledger Is Dead by uf4oma(f): 7:32pm On Jan 23, 2008
i gasped when i saw the news on cnn this morning. i fell in love with him in the patriot. i've seen a knight's tale. but never saw brokeback mountain because of the whole gay love scene. i'm really saddened by it. what a tragedy.
Re: Heath Ledger Is Dead by Dreloaded(f): 7:37pm On Jan 23, 2008
you mean the love scene that lasted a millisecond?

Until I see Dark Knight, Brokeback Mountain is his best movie to date.

It's a shame really, I am still kinda shocked esp since he has a daughter. undecided
Re: Heath Ledger Is Dead by zigbo(f): 12:05am On Jan 24, 2008

Re: Heath Ledger Is Dead by Nobody: 3:26pm On Jan 24, 2008
I loved him so much and i was just watching The Patriot. God Give him rest and comfort his family
Re: Heath Ledger Is Dead by odada(m): 8:46am On Jan 26, 2008
In my earlier post I mentioned unconfirmed reports that the cause of death had to do with drug over dose?but itsnot certain anymore what the cause of Heath Ledger's death might be,autopsy reports didnt reveal anything and doctors are saying it might take 2 weeks for blood samples and other medical stuff they need to examine to determine the actual cause of death.
The $25 dollar bill found in his apartment that people speculated that he rolled in taking dope! was found to be clean!!!they are no traces of coke in 'em ,this might just be another holloywood cover up or conspiracy?but whatever it is I think they shoud allow his gentle rest in peace and stop alleging things . . .for crisakes he is dead already sad sad sad
Re: Heath Ledger Is Dead by davidif: 11:47pm On Jan 26, 2008

sad sad Overdose may not have killed Heath Ledger
By Catherine Elsworth in Los Angeles
Last Updated: 9:33pm GMT 27/01/2008



Heath Ledger may have died from natural causes, not a drug overdose, because the amount of drugs in his system was too low to have killed him, it has been reported.
TMZ, the celebrity website that broke the news of the actor's death last Tuesday, quoted sources "intimately connected with the investigation" saying that the 28-year-old may have died from a heart attack.


Sources claim that the level of drugs in Heath Ledger's system was too low to cause his death


"It's now appearing that the level of toxicity (from medication) in Ledger's system was low enough that it may not have caused his death. These sources say Heath's heart stopped," the website reported.

Initial tests on the body of the star of Brokeback Mountain proved inconclusive, but Ledger's family has insisted that he would not have taken his own life.

The actress Naomi Watts, Ledger's former girlfriend, was reported to have visited the Los Angeles mortuary where his body was being kept. She was also said to have joined Ledger's family and friends in a private memorial ceremony.

His body was expected to be flown to Australia today, where it was thought that a funeral would be held in Perth, his home city.

In an article published yesterday, Sarah Lyall, who conducted the last interview with the actor in November, said Ledger "did not seem depressed, or suicidal or whacked out from drugs" when they met.

"What he seemed was exhausted," Lyall told the Observer. "It looked to me like the sort of fatigue you get not from being tired of life, but from being too full of it - too full of plans, too full of self-analysis, too full of noisy thoughts that won't stay quiet."

Daniel Day-Lewis, the British actor, interrupted Oprah Winfrey on her celebrity talk show to pay tribute to Ledger.

Fighting back tears, the 50-year-old Oscar hopeful said he had "marvelled" at Ledger's work. At the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, Robert Redford, the veteran actor, talked about the impact of Ledger's death, comparing it to the shock caused by the 1981 assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan.

"That's too young to check out. It was a shock," Redford said.

He described Ledger as "one of those actors who was very, very special because he played so many different kinds of roles".
