R.I.P. Heath Ledger

The Australian actor was found dead in an apartment in NYC.

From the Associated Press:

Quote:

Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan apartment, and police said drugs may have been a factor. The Australian-born actor was 28. Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the residence in the tony SoHo neighborhood, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. A housekeeper who went to let him know the massage therapist had arrived found him dead at 3:26 p.m.

that is shocking. poor thing, he had a little girl, didn't he

audity · 01-22-2008, 10:07 PM

Yes, a daughter with Michelle Williams.

hazey · 01-22-2008, 10:26 PM

This is quite a shocker alright.

Rest in peace.

srahman24 · 01-22-2008, 10:35 PM

Yeah, this is too strange. He seemed so... normal (well, besides this picture from today)

There are so many conspiracy theories being thrown around right now, it's a shame his family can't just take a moment to mourn with a little respect.

Gatsby · 01-22-2008, 10:58 PM

very sad news indeed. he was an actor i respected and liked alot..

Rest in peace

babyeskimo · 01-22-2008, 11:39 PM

RIP Heath

babyeskimo · 01-23-2008, 12:10 AM

he will be sorely missed

tuckatangent · 01-23-2008, 12:32 AM

This is so horrible. He was so wonderful in Brokeback Mountain, but my first exposure to him was the delightful 10 Things I Hate About You. I can't believe it.

bjmo11 · 01-23-2008, 12:41 AM

one of my favorite actors, so young and gifted. he'll be missed for sure. R.I.P heath.

Rue Saint-Denis · 01-23-2008, 12:42 AM

This hasn't settled in me, yet. I still can't believe it, this is really unexpected.

RIP.

mine too... it was because of 10 things that i became a fan of his. very sad news indeed.

Rai · 01-23-2008, 05:29 AM

What a bad way to go. I've heard that he was ****ed up recently, but this is still a shocker. RIP

cille · 01-23-2008, 08:10 AM

So sad! And unexpected, he was such a rising star.

What made me angry is the fact that from the moment where they found him only three hours later paparazi and rubbernecks where at his house. What the...? Can't they just leave him alone? There wasn't even an autopsy or a proper funeral yet . Some people just have no respect. Not even for the dead. I guess it was the same when he was alive, all that 'we don't give a sh.it about your private life'. Just because he's an actor on screen doesn't make him an object, a piece of sh.it, where flies can put their asses onto.
RIP, Heath. I'm lookin forward to your "Why so serious?" role.

cille · 01-23-2008, 10:15 AM

It's insane for sure.
Another insane thing: apparently some baptist christian group are planning to picket at his funeral because of his Brokeback role. Bloody sickoes!

Ships_Were_Sailin · 01-23-2008, 10:32 AM

Thats so stupid.

God i hate hollywood, not even the dead get a moments peace

hazey · 01-23-2008, 02:15 PM

If there is a God, the only people serving eternal sentence in Hell will be those baptist degenerates. FFS...show some respect for the dead, you f*cking retards!

not surprisingly, i just posted the very same thing on a u2-list.... though i referred to them simply as f*ckers

i'm utterly disgusted

Wheels · 01-23-2008, 04:24 PM

Just a note of caution guys... how do ye know that "news release" is genuine? It's not a very realistic news release...

samuelle · 01-23-2008, 04:30 PM

as a rule i don't wish people would die, but when fred phelps goes i will be thrilled.

the original document can be found on one of phelps's websites, so i'd wager it's the real deal.

heath ledger was really talented; he will be missed.

heffaface · 01-23-2008, 07:01 PM

im actually in complete shock. he was oneof my fovourite actors... friggin amazin talent. and he looks amazing in the new batman movie. he really will be missed. R.I.P Heath

.em. · 01-26-2008, 08:11 PM

His death really surprised me too. I wasn't a huge fan of his, but I did have respect for him.
What the media has done is disgusting...I've heard claims that his death was caused by his role as the Joker (that perhaps he suffered some mental breakdown), which is completely ridiculous.

Aside from that, RIP Mr. Ledger.

That will be real. Westboro baptist church are famous for being twats. They picket the funerals of dead soilders etc.

Louis Theroux did a whole 50 min documentry on them that you can track down quite easily on the net. Its worth the watch.

The press release, or whatever you want to call it, from Westboro Baptist Church seems too hyperbolic to even be real.
