Heath Ledger Death Update

January 22, 2008

Heath Ledger

Like we mentioned earlier this afternoon, actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in NYC. He was found naked on the bedroom floor face down surrounded by pills.

New York Police department says the death was accidental, and not a suicide attempt. Despite several media reports, Mary-Kate Olsen did not own the apartment he was found in.

Ledger was pronounced dead at 3:35PM ET when the police arrived at the SoHo apartment. He had a substance abuse problem, but he had reportedly been clean for the past year.

He thought it was funny, look at the new trailers that are coming out, hes dressed as a clown and he is laughing his ass off, i personaly thought he wasnt all to good of an actor, but im currious to see the dark knight movie, and see how he died...OHH TO SOON

So the autopsy comes back inconclusive...what does that even mean...where they cant even find out how he died. I feel obsessed by this. Like I need to know every detail. I donot for one second believe that he killed himself. It seemed he had way too much to live for. And I cant help but think that if that stupid masseuse had just phoned 911 before phoning Mary-kate then maybe they could have saved him....

I first saw Heath in Monsters Ball, and there was just something about his performance that caught me. I think it was his eyes. He said so much just with his eyes. I loved him in Brokeback Mountain. He played such a complicated character and did it so well. It would have been nice to follow his career for another 20 years or more. I truly enjoy an actor who really feels the part he plays. What a terrible loss.

Devastated at the news, Heath was a fantastic actor and will be greatly missed all over the world. There is no possibility this was anything other than an accident, Heath was a responsible & decent person. My thoughts are with his family, Michelle Williams & little Matilda xx

I only hope this will wake up the other celebrities. This could be Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears any day now. His poor daughter...

What a shame that the world is less one more beautiful person who had so much to offer and brought laughter and enjoyment through his work. AND BOY COULD HE LIGHT UP A GIRL'S HEART WITH THAT SMILE, RIGHT!? I'd so like to kick the ass of the person(s) who caused him so much pain and left him hopeless, alone!! Who did it!?

fucking shame, what a shitty world we live in. My heart breaks for his poor little girl.

This is so tragic! He was a talented actor and had a lot to give to his art. When will people ever learn that drugs and alcohol abuse only bring heartbreak and death? Time to wake up, people!
