Heath Ledger is dead?!?!

I'm kind of totally in shock, but today, Heath Ledger was found dead in a Soho apartment.
His body was found by the housekeeper or something. And since he was naked with a bottle of sleeping pills beside him, they think it's suicide!

or just google 'heath ledger'.

He wasn't my favorite actor or anything, but he was one of the only Western (ie not japanese) actors i liked and respected! i mean, he was amazing in A Knight's Tale and Brokeback Mountain! It just kind of makes me sad...

[Sorry if this is in the wrong place, i wasn't too sure <_>]

I heard about this today at work at lunch time... he's only 28... such a shame for a guy so full of talent, ne. He just finished filming "Dark Knight" the new Batman movie, where he played the Joker this past FRIDAY! WTH! SO much pressure on these guys I guess!

May he rest in peace.

I KNOW!!!!!

I was shocked to the core when I watch the news on Yahoo!
Seriously, it was only yesterday I watched a re-run of '10 things i hate about you'.

"Heath Ledger is dead at the age of 28, leaving behind the greatest villain character to ever grace the silver screen. "

AT MARY-KATE OLSEN'S APARTMENT? it was said that he was surrounded by pills too! Try browsing the news in YouTube. I'm watching CNN for breaking updates.

I'll always love you . . .

This is so sad! When I first heard about it, I thought it was a stupid, sick joke. Turns out its real though.

I just feel bad that his daughter is going to grow up without really knowing him.
R.I.P

I just heard about this a few hours ago. So very sad. May he rest in peace. He was a brilliant actor... A Knight's Tale being one of my favorite movies. Everyone look out for his role as Joker in the next Batman movie.

he was found in his own apartment. not mary kate olsens. she simply lives in the same neighborhood.

OMG!! *is in shock*

could it have been depression (if it was indeed suicide)? I think it wasn't too long ago when Michelle Williams and he split up.

But 28 really is quite young............he'll never have the chance to watch his daughter grow up.

just the same, may he rest in peace.

I was in total shock as well. I guess for me, celebrities are supposed to be "immortal" (irrational thinking I know) and on top of that, he was so young. What makes it even more sad is that he won't be able to see his daughter grow up. I was looking forward to Batman as well. He had so much potential to be a great actor, may he rest in peace.

After reading the articles, suicide seems to out of the question.

It appears he was sick with pneumonia and might have been what possibly contributed to the overdose in sleeping pills.

This is certainly very sad and upsetting........and still so very surreal.

like many entertainers, he seemed to have a lot to live for, so suicide would be surprising. i don't remember him as someone who would constantly be in trouble nor be in a negative light, so it's sad to see this happen to a talented individual such as himself. may he rest in peace.

i was also shocked when i read the news at the yahoo site...a while ago...i am teary-eyed while reading it because heath ledger is such a great actor...i really like him in the movie "A KNIGHT'S TALE" until now i still cant believe he's dead...he's still so young...

I am sooo sad to hear about his death, he's such a great actor and I applauded him for choosing his roles very carefully and not just go for any roles that would pay well. Hearing about his death at such a young age and leaving behind a 2 year-old daughter is so tragic.

Aww.. may he rest in peace. So many losses at the beginning of the year.

WHAT ?

I didn't know and i find this thread..... what ?!...

.. Hmm that's horrible.. why why did he do that ? his career was getting better and he was filming the next Batman... too much pressure to take ?.. no that's not clear...

I was very shocked to read this, too. I liked Heath Ledger a lot, and he was a very attractive as well as talented man.

Yes, this is a shocking news. The cause of death is not confirmed yet, but the police said that there was NO indication of "foul play". But It's just so sad and tragic all the same. A talented and charming actor gone too early... right when he's gonna get a big hype with what seems like a brilliant performance as THE JOKER in The Dark Knight.

And now all we can do is wishing for his soul to rest in peace..

I've almost forgotten that he plays the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie! Oh men...I've started to like him after seeing him in "10 Things I Hate About You". What a loss. I'm never going to see him star in another great movie.

This is one of the shocker news that I have heard for this year.
I couldn't believe he dead, I means the day before his death I watch him do a interview for Batman on TV. And the next day he ........................gone.

I will miss his acting.... May he rest in peace.
