I don't know what else to say beside oh my...

I really hope he finished his work on Dark Knight.
I also hope this isn't the reason..

Crazy pretty much sums it up.

It really is I don't want to believe it...I'd like to hope it's some sort of crazy stunt for the advertising of the movie, but I doubt it is...

*Cure* · 01-22-2008, 04:08 PM

Damn. He was a great actor. He was awesome in Brokeback Mountain.

Swany · 01-22-2008, 04:12 PM

Holy crap. I don't even know what to think.

Any more news? I mean what happened? He was only 28.

*Mecha Cow* · 01-22-2008, 04:13 PM

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the hell? Jesus, I did not see this coming. I'm in total shock. This sucks.

*The Stryker* · 01-22-2008, 04:17 PM

Woah...Holy ****. That sucks.

I know right thats how I feel I'm in total shock!
I just turned 28 myself and it's sh1t like this that really makes you think about just how short life really can be.
I'm looking for more news but nothings come up yet.
It's all over the tv though.
I just can't believe this though I don't think he'd kill himself with such a highly anticipated movie coming out.

No words can express the absolute shock I'm feeling. He was a good actor and definitely was going to be big (if he wasn't already). I hope suicide wasn't the cause, as being reported, because it just doesn't add up. I'm sure more will be revealed in the upcoming days. I guess all I can say is rest in peace Heath and looking forward to another brilliant performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

NEW YORK - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence in a possible drug-related death, police said. He was 28.

According to WNBC, Ledger was found with pills strewn all around him.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment believed to be his home. The housekeeper, who went to let Ledger know the masseuse was there, found him unconscious at approximately 3:30 p.m. ET, according to the New York Times. After receiving no response from the actor after shaking him, they called authorities.

Man....I fliped to the news when I read the headline to verify. Man. Drug overdose is the assumed COD.

Really sounds fishy to me to be real honest...

**Jester** · 01-22-2008, 04:36 PM

Yeah, who'd kill themself while waiting for a masseuse.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 01-22-2008, 04:40 PM

My thoughts exactly, Jester. What would be the point of scheduling it, if you were planning on taking your life?

*Raph's Girl* · 01-22-2008, 04:41 PM

Can the Superman curse be blaimed for this even tho he's in a Batman film???

Holy frak!

Apperantly the apartment belonged to Mary Kate Olsen

Paparazzi and TV crews assemble outside 421 Broome Street, Soho, where Heath Ledger died, earlier today. The Australian-born actor, star of movies such as The Patriot and Brokeback Mountain, was found naked and unconscious in the apartment, which is owned by the actress Mary-Kate Olsen. Beside his bed, a bottle of pills. (Rumor on the scene: that Ashley Olsen, her sister, had been in the apartment today

Curiously, a local radio show was discussing which celebrities have died so far in 2008 and which ones are likeliest to day.

I did not see it coming that Heath Ledger would be one. He was not exactly a troublemaker.

But I did see it in Yahoo News as soon as I logged into this computer.

When I was in the 11th grade, I saw it in the morning news that River Phoenix had passed away. As soon as I got to school, I told everyone around me in the lockers what had happened. Needless to say, everyone was shocked and sad.

If that treasure troll killed him I swear to God!

Jesus, that came out of nowhere. I suppose that makes The Dark Knight his official last role. I hope the Joker wasn't intended to be in the third one.
