http://www.nypost.com/seven/01222008/news/regionalnews/heath_ledger_dead_916418.htm There will probably be more info later on.
-
He was great in BB, and it was going to be interesting to see him in Batman. Condolences to his daughter and former fiance
-
Wow... That was a shocking thread title to see on the "Unread posts" link...
First Brad Renfro last week and now Heath... It just seems so unreal.
-
good night, sweet prince.
-
This is seriously sad news, he was a great actor and seemed like a great guy. :(
-
Damn, I don't think anybody saw this coming. RIP
-
Horrible news :( So shocking and came out of nowhere, too
I wasn't a huge fan, but this makes me very sad... I could see that he had a lot to offer in acting and long career ahead of him, oh well... :/
R.I.P.
-
I'm so shocked the news just said it might have been a possible drug overdose which makes me even sadder.
-
WHAT!?
No way! Sad news. :cry:
-
Damn, I don't think anybody saw this coming. RIP
QFT...
He was a great actor, I couldn't believe when I saw the news... Very sad news...
-
Like everyone, I was incredibly shocked. There are some celebrity problems you know about, and some you don't.
There's websites saying he was found in Mary Kate Olsens apartment and not his. Some websites report it as his apartment so I don't know which one is true. We'll wait and see I guess
RIP
-
Life happens to quickly sometimes.
Here's to Heath; may he rest in peace.
-
Oh my word. This is shocking and at 28 too. You have to respect an actor that wants to diversify like Heath did and gave his all to each role. R.I.P. Heath. My condolences to his family and friends.

Just about every credible news site I've seen(and went through many of them in my disbelief) reported it as his apartment. He had a massage appointment, and when his housekeeper went to call him, they found his body in his room :/

To say finding out about this was a shock is putting it mildly. His death will undoubtedly bring more attention to the new Batman movie. The sad thing is though, it'll be the wrong type of attention. He had loads of talent
R.I.P. Heath Ledger.
:prayers: :mon prayer:
-
Totally unexpected news.
-
Gah, I just could not believe it. I just saw it on the TV, and I really can't believe it.
I'm really sad :( I dunno, he was at the top of his career, still in the middle of filming even, and he had a daughter worth surviving for, and so you'd never expect it.
Lots of updates and more news here: http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/19614168.html#cutid1
Ugh, and of course TMZ was there when they were moving his body. Sure it's breaking news, but I think there's gotta be a bit of respect for him, y'know?
-
respect for celebrities is highly unlikely.
the paparazzo doesnt care about anything but getting the story first and as many pictures as they can sell. :/
-
Unfortunately :(
-
Like everyone else I was shocked to hear about this when I got home. He was a great actor with a promising career ahead of him. Not to mention I was really excited to see his take on Mister J in the Dark Knight. R.I.P. Heath, you'll be missed :(
-
A real shame. :(
-
Wow. That is totally unexpected.
RIP, Heath.
-
My mom told me a few hours ago. I was really shocked. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP, Heath.
:(
-
That is so sad & shocking. he wasn't even 30. He was so talented and beautiful. why would he do something like that? I still don't believe it. R.I.P.
-
RIP
cant wait to see him play Joker
-
R.I.P Heath.
He was such a good actor. I feel so sorry for his family.
-
Wow. shocking. The world has lost one of its finest young actors.
RIP Heath. We all will go watch the new Batman in droves.
-
This was definitely a shocker. I definitely received the news via text message today and I honestly didn't believe it at first. This is really upsetting as he was definitely one of my favorite actors. My prayers go out to his family and friends.
R.I.P. Heath. You'll be missed.
-
;_;
Rest in peace, Heath.
-
So young :(
-
Sadly I am unsurprised by the massively insensitive headlines of Heath's death, for example, 'The heartbroken drugged-up world of Heath Ledger', 'Tragic Heath's secret coke hell', 'The daughter left behind by tragic star Heath Ledger', complete with paparazzi shots of Heath's two year old daughter. Well done lads, you've proved to be devoid of any sense of human decency.
-
^ I hope those heartless idots go DIAF :tama-mad: Seriously.
Sometimes I keep thinking this news is all just part of a bad, cracked-up dream. I was never the biggest Heath fan, but I acknowledged he was a really great actor and he's definitely one of my favorites out there, this is such a tragedy... He's just one of those guys you'd never expect to go so soon, why couldn't it be one of those arrogant, stupid celebrities who take advantage of everything?
RIP Heath. You'll definitely be missed and Hollywood will never forget one of the brightest stars they've lost.

There's a time and a place for 'jokes' Fox News host John Gibson should be told, this is not it. (http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/23/gibson-mocks-ledger/)

That is positively horrendous. It doesn't matter if you dislike a person or a project they worked on (possibly, I dunno... Brokeback Mountain), a person should learn how to have a certain level of respect ESPECIALLY if you're being broadcast in front of a lot of people. That is absolutely ridiculous and shows that he lacks any amount of decency.
-
i felt really bad that my initial reaction to finding out about his death was "wait...will the dark knight still release?" its sad that he's gone. based on the preview alone, his joker looks crazy (good).
-
http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/06/heath.ledger/index.html His death was caused by a accidental overdose.

Heath Ledger's insurance company is being sued for refusing to pay out $US10 million in benefits to his daughter Matilda Rose.
The 28-year-old Australian star of Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight was found dead in his New York apartment in January in what officials ruled was an accidental death from an overdose of painkillers and other medicines.
But lawyers for the ReliaStar insurance company, where Ledger took out a life insurance policy in 2007, have claimed his death was suspicious and possibly a suicide.
That would nullify the policy, according to court papers posted on celebrity website TMZ.com. (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/09/30/2377487.htm)
