The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment in Manhattan owned by the actress Mary-Kate Olsen, according to the New York City police. Signs pointed to a suicide or an accidental overdose, police sources said. Mr. Ledger was 28...
The news of this shocked me; I really liked his movies and am looking forward to seeing him in The Dark Knight...
Thank God someone posted this thread. I don't like starting threads that pertain to topics of this nature.
This sucks! The more I think it about it, the more I want it to be a viral campaign that has been done so many times for the Dark Knight so far. Now, don't know if I could watch the movie, and not have it take on a completely new meaning.
I was so excited for this movie. I mean, I waited in three separate lines for 3 hours each to see a 10 minute preview last summer in Chicago with the cast and writers of the Dark Knight (minus Heath).
Right now, it doesn't look like any foul play is involved, and the pills were over-the-counter sleeping pills, probably an accidental overdose trying to get back to his normal schedule, after the odd filming routine done in the Dark Knight.
It's a shame. And to think I saw some resemblance of him and Brandon Lee. 
I still cant believe it.
Heath Ledger is no more. And to think everybody was gonna clamour for him come The Dark Knight.
May his soul rest in peace. Amen!
Sad.
Very sad indeed, Amazing actor.
Yes he was a fabulous actor what a tragedy
Rest in piece Mr. Ledger, and I guess wizard because his avatar & custom user title is gone
You mean rest in peace?
Ow that's sad Rest in peace
R.I.P. Great actor, loved his movies.. especially "A Knights Tale"
Frankly... I haven't seen most of his movies, except I watched apart of A Knight's Tale. I found him to be a very promising actor... So I was anxiously waiting for his Joker in upcoming The Dark Knight movie. From the trailers and what I've been reading on net, looks like he did an amazing job on Joker. Kinda like how Jack Nicholson gave character to Joker in his days.
When I read the news first... I thought it was some stupid and sick marketing by warner, for new movie. I had to go through news twice to believe what I was reading. Unfortunate enough, the news was true.
Too bad we won't be seeing more of this talented young actor... may god bless his soul!!
I admire the man's bravery to take on both varied and challenging roles... and he did all with such a fine talent.
A great true spirited ozzy, we'll miss him.
Such a shame to loose such a young talented actor.
...cant wait to see the dark knight.
All i have to say the new batman movie will be interesting.
iv'e just read on wikipedia that they don't think it was a accidental ovedose or suicide, the tests were inconclusive....
i wonder how he did die then?
I do believe that is BS because the toxicology wouldn't be back this quick.
Sounds like some moron posting crap.
Wasn't he the guy from Brokeback Mountain?
yeah the hot one ... ok, im sorry innappropriate.
but I do think reguardless, it would have been a challenging role for him and he played it very well.
As for cause of death; theres always going to be conspiracies... theres already some phoney story in the paper about a massage woman.Don't believe it... soon they'll be saying suicide.
If you must believe something; just believe it was a tragic accident, a Non intentional overdose of sorts of a prescribed med.
Whatever may conspiracy theories suggest... there is only one fact remains in the end.
That, a talented actor was lost.
That, a talented actor was lost.
Agreed.
It's sad that people find it easier to accept conspiracy theories than an unfortunate chain of events.
Speaking from experience, months without sleep and all you want to do is get some rest...your mind is focused only on getting it and rationale gets tossed out the window. Don't think I realized until now how lucky I was.
