It's sad to see such a good actor die. 28 is too young of an age to die.:(

[abducted]

this is incredibly sad and shocking and just another reminder that life is is too short :( ...great actor hope this doesn't affect the Batman movie as he had so many fans rooting for him as the new joker

[Riekie]

What the hell? He died? lemme check out that link right away!

[Malificus]

This is bullcrap!!!! :yell :yell :yell.

Heath Ledger was one of those few actors in Hollywood I really loved. One of the most versatile and talented.

:cry

I don't like.

[Tsubaki88]

WHAT?! Oh my God!!!

[Slev]

Why do all the actors I like end up ODing on drugs?

RIP

[Bleu]

This is so sad :(

Now my excitment for the batman movie has multiplied, because i would be honored to watch one of his final roles.

Amazing man, his poor daughter.

[Riekie]

Slev, he didn't die of OD'ing>.>

[Miyona]

OMG >_>

he was so hot too

[Shadoblak]

Slev, he didn't die of OD'ing>.>

They think he did.....Of course thats just what they say when they have no idea what happened............this is a horrible loss for our generation...The Joker has left the building...

[Bai-He]

What the hell?

I cant believe this I just saw The Brothers Grimm yesterday. Poor guy....R.I.P

[ilovemybishies]

Oh my god, what?! That's horrible! :( He was one of my favorite actors!

He will be sorely missed.

[Alphonse]

WTF!? Bullsh1t! He wasn't even old! This is ****** up! Man...may he rest in peace.

[Ninira]

I was so confused when I saw that! Didn't the police rule out suicide or it being an OD? That seems really strange...

[vaizado]

I turn on the TV and the first thing I see is the body of Heath Ledger being carried out on a stretcher in a black bag.

Im speechless.

[JaneDoe01]

*says a prayer* may you find happiness in the other life, Heath.

I just can't believe it! :cry

My support goes towards all the people who added value to Heath's life, and who will love him even past his death.

[Soranushi]

Whoa! I just read this on MSN this is unexpected and saddening:cry He was a Cool person Well "May he rest in peace".


On msn it says He couldn't sleep well from acting as the Joker

[Rain]

i wasn't a big fan of his, but this is still really saddening:(

Ninira- they can't rule it out until the autopsy tomorrow, but they think it was OD because they found empty pill bottles beside him (from what i heard on tv)

[SakuraChan]

My friend told me he died of an overdose of something...?

[Bleu]

well.. the joker couldnt have been that bad to play, isnt he supposed to be sorta a comedic character? the last batman i saw in the 90's had whats his face...the guy who played ace ventura and bruce almighty.. jim carey right? That movie was half comedy half physco. Maybe i should go look back at the trailer..

[Soranushi]

Ledger told The New York Times in a November interview that he “stressed out a little too much” during the Dylan film, and had trouble sleeping while portraying the Joker, whom he called a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy.”

“Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” Ledger told the newspaper. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.” He said he took two Ambien pills, which only worked for an hour, the paper said. From MSN.com

The Joker's supposed to be pure evil this time around I mean look at Vaizado's
Avatar no offense Vaizado

[eurys]

The only actor I cared about and whose career I was following with attention... I can't believe it.
I noticed him in "10 things I hate about you", became a fan quickly and I knew he would find success and prove he was more than a teen heartthrob.

Fucking hell, I'm so pissed off. I knew about his drugs issues and he always seemed uncomfortable and awkward, but he always managed to keep his public image clean. I'm so sorry for his daughter and Michelle Williams...

I'll always remember thatl quote from Brian Helgeland in the director's commentary on "A Knight's Tale", when there's a shot where Heath smiles that brilliant smile and Helgeland says "There he is. There's Errol Flynn. We haven't seen that kind of charisma in years."

This is killing me.

[Ulquiorra]

it's a shame. He had such a bright and promising career ahead of him.

[Frosted Heart]

Wow, it's always a tragedy when one dies so young. I hope he finds peace in the afterlife, and wonder what was the cause of this terrible incident. R.I.P. Heath Ledger.

[Raf]

They did finish filming the Dark Knight, and when it comes out I will be very honored to see it as well...

[Navirae]

Thats...just...I can't even believe it...now I am thoroughly depressed...

[Hiraeth]

Poor guy. I thought this was a hoax when I first heard about it. I remember first seeing him in 10 Things I Hate About You, when I was in primary school. He was 28. People shouldn't die when they're 28.

[Bleu]

wait wait nevermind.. jim carrey was the riddler, and jack nickolson was the joker.. he stil had a sorta comedic role though.

This is truely awful, he wasso talented and on the rise to HUGE success, he was so handsome too.

[Velius]

I really do hope the rest of young hollywood learns something from this sad day. Drugs really can ruin and end your life, no matter who you are. Rest in peace, sir. Rest in peace....

[Jaws]

It doesn't matter how he died, it won't change a damned thing that we have lost a great talent today. Keep the memories he brought to us on screen, not of what his personal life may or may not have been. ..... R.I.P

[Hiraeth]

Yeah Vel, as far as I'm aware there's no evidence that he actually overdosed on any kind of recreational drug. From what I've heard, what may have happened is that he accidentally took too many sleeping pills.

[Peachilicious]

I can't believe this. I had just recently become a fan of his after being blown away by his performance in "The Dark Knight" trailer and prologue, and going back and re-watching some of his previous films like "Brokeback Mountain". He was so incredibly talented, and had such a promising career ahead of him. My thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

[KurosakiNaruto]

What a talented man, I thought he was a great contribution to the Batman franchise and to die at such a young age is just a tragedy. He will be missed.

[StarryInoueSky]

Oh my gosh, I almost teared up. I loved him in A Knight's Tale and The Brother's Grim. 10 Things I Hate About You was good too. I too think it will be an honor to watch his last movie, The Dark Knight, even if I'm not a fan of Batman.

He was a great actor and will be missed. May he rest in peace.

[Bleu]

I think it might have been sleeping pills if he was indeed having trouble sleeping.. i dont think it was suicide. :( hopefully we will get more information later on today

[Velius]

Yeah Vel, as far as I'm aware there's no evidence that he actually overdosed on any kind of recreational drug. From what I've heard, what may have happened is that he accidentally took too many sleeping pills.
Drugs are drugs, dear. You put yourself in that kind of situation with anything like that, the the end results will still not be good.

[Shadoblak]

Anyone else find it suspicious that there used to be all these murders in hollywood, but now they're all "overdoses" on "assorted generic pills"?

[StarryInoueSky]

Anyone else find it suspicious that there used to be all these murders in hollywood, but now they're all "overdoses" on "assorted generic pills"?

I was thinking that too. Then again Hollywood has changed a bit and so has the world.

[spacecat]

Aw man this makes me so sad, one of Aussies only decent actors. RIP :(

[eurys]

The guy just died, his body was not even authopsied yet, and some people on different boards/blogs are already sprouting things like "he asked for it, anyone could have seen it coming, drugs are bad, m'kay, may this be a lesson"?

But this is internet, rumors are flying around right now, and it's so easy to judge and play the "internet tough guy" I guess...

Oh and now the paps are hunting all his past relationships and exes. So tactful. Naomi Watts cancelled her apparition at the Sundance festival to avoid that. I feel bad for her.

[juunana]

I dont care how he died, if it was drugs or whatever it ends up being, no matter what its just freaking sad. So young >< I hope the media doesnt make it hard on his family...but they will >_>

[fly]

OMG. I'm not a big fan of his; but it affected me. Badly. Bright young man, with a promising career.

Whatever it is; Rest in peace; you have my prayers, Heath.

[vaizado]

I can see it already; religious fanatics are going to picket his funeral because his death is a sign that God smote him for being in Brokeback Mountain. -_-

[Tomodachi69]

I can see it already; religious fanatics are going to picket his funeral because his death is a sign that God smote him for being in Brokeback Mountain. -_-

Oh god. I can see that now and it sickens me. But you're right, if not picketing, someone somewhere is with others who think that. /sigh, the world today.

I didn't believe it when my friend imed me and said that. I thought he was talking bull, then I checked cnn.com and it was frontpage. AWESOME actor, will be greatly missed.

[Lady Orihime]

Very sad. Great actor; had a HUGE career ahead of him. He was such a kind person (I got to meet him when they were shooting "10 Things I Hate About You" at Stadium HS in Tacoma, WA.)

It's also very sad that his kids gets won't get to know him.

R.I.P Heath Ledger :cry

[Syn]

I never saw his movies, but I feel sad for his daughter. RIP, and hope his next life will be better for him.

[cheez]

This has been sad news, and it bummed me out when I first heard it. I guess the only thing to do now is appreciate his work and wish his family luck.

[Raf]

Can you imagine that all he wanted to do was sleep for a couple of hours... I mean dieing like that... Really stinks, I imagine he went peacefully which is good... But but to die by just trying to get some sleep, that sucks :/

[Ann-chan]

damn I can't believe this O___O; in the beginning I thought he was kinda meh but since a year or so I gained mad respect for his acting skills.... damn 28 is not the time to go... R.I.P. Heath... what a loss.

[kimmie_chan]

I got woken up this morning by being told this, I couldn't believe it at first. 28 is so young, poor guy. He would have had so many more career opportunities open for him with his talents.
And his daughter, god she'll never know him. It's just so sad.
RIP Heath, you will be missed.

[phantomfork]

I'm glad that he got to finish Dark Knight though. It looks like it maybe one of his defining roles. (at least I hope so)

I'm not sure how true this is, but someone told me that he supposedly had a drug problem before this, although it may not be related to his death.

In any case it is really sad because from the few movies I saw he was a really talented actor. It sucks that he died so young.

[vaizado]

I hate it when Im right:

I haven't even clicked that yet, but I know nothing respectable comes from a site that starts with "Godhates" and ends with a slur.......Where do people get off...

[Ann-chan]

@vaizado: that is sick. Honestly, I have nothing against people being religious but that is just ridiculous T__T he wasn't even actually gay himself, he just pretended to be in a movie, so what's the deal here? assholes :T

[emoloz]

I didn't actually know who this guy was today until someone explained to me what he was in. I feel bad for not knowing but after seeing pictures i figured he was in a Knights tales. Poor guy. I hate all the rumours going round and some real sadist comments (from that church) have read on his death. It's not needed. Poor guy his family must be gutted and his poor daughter as well. R.I.P.

[caffineluurve]

I'm speechless...he was such a good actor too; as for the link vaizado posted; those people have effin issues. How can they disrespect a person like that? And yeah, he wasn't even gay himself. Way to pour hate in such a saddening ordeal.

[Peachilicious]

http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/01/23/heath.ledger.dead/

Apparently the autopsy today came back inconclusive. Further toxicology tests will be performed, with the results expected in 10-14 days.

The news of his death has sunk in a little more for me today, but it still doesn't seem completely real. I still feel like I'm dreaming.

As for that... "church", I just pray they're prevented from causing any more unnecessary suffering for his family. They've been through enough at this point and shouldn't have to deal with that kind of crap.

WHAT?!
Fucking nuts claiming to be church are one thing but this is a news station!!!!!!
On top of that how can you even make jokes like that!? Everyone who knew him famous or not were shocked and in disbelief...I seem to remember everyone who commented said he was bright, nice and nobody recalled a "Drug problem" My girlfriend takes ibuprofin for headaches guess she has a "Serious drug problem" too huh??
Where the fuck to people get off.

[beautiful_death]

I officially hate that stupid WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) who want to picket Heath Ledger's funeral. They need to be "accidently" run down by a car.

On a lighter note, I present to you a clip from "10 Things I Hate About You" which celebrates his life:
Can't Take My Eyes Off You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIW7WXPb-dc)

[cheez]

That is truly disgusting what the WBC is doing. I'v wondered who the members of WBC have built up so much hatred for the world.

Anyways thanks for the clip beautiful_death.

yeah.....You know one day they're gonna picket the wrong funeral....some mob boss or vigilante's son.....Louis Theroux did a documentary about them called "The Most Hated Family in America" they condition the children at a young age to hate and assault...Look it up......and look them up if you don't know about them...These people are anti gay, anti catholic, anti muslim, they have listed among their enemies Canada, Britain, Ireland, Sweden, The US and have made racist comments as well, such as depicting an African American councilman as an ape in business wear with a swastika on his sleeve. They are labled as a hate group and a cult, and they picket the funerals of soldiers, victims of accidents, murders, and suicides. They are the most hateful extreme and malicious group I have ever witnessed. One girl on the documentary laughed and giggled saying it made her happy that the documentor is going to Hell....These people have now set their sites upon the tragic passing of the talented and sorely missed Heath Ledger.

[HELLA PINOY]

WBC can burn in hell for that.

This guy was an amazing actor and I cant believe he's dead really. They didn't find ANY illegal drugs in his room. No trace whatsoever so that proves he didnt take any illegal drugs. The pills thy found were perscribed for migraine and anti histamine (allergy) pills.

He will truley be missed and I hop he has a peacful funeral service.
