Its so sad because when a Celebrity dies these days the first thing you think is... lets see what the toxicology report says.

Its so sad, to see what fame, money, and power can do to you:(

I JUST heard about this! How awful!

It wasnt what I though it was what I had read..here is the quote..

"According to the New York City Police Department, Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment in downtown Manhattan on January 22, 2008. High amounts of heroin were found in his bloodstream."

Very selfish. For someone who has kids thats very selfish. However, with drugs there is always more that meets the eye with people. Lots of times its a cry for help, but that cry cannot always be heard until its too late.

I fear for Britney Spears because I see a "OMG Britney Spears is Dead" in her future if she doesn't shape up.

In the New York Times:
 

The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.
At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play. Officials said pills fear found near the body.
Mr. Ledger, a native of Perth, Australia, won acclaim for his role as a co-star in “Brokeback Mountain”, a 2005 film. The film, based on a short story by Annie Proulx about two cowboys who fall in love, won critical acclaim. Reviewing the film in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden wrote, “Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”
Mr. Ledger met the actress Michelle Williams while filming ‘’Brokeback Mountain.” The two actors fell into a very public romance. They had a daughter, Matilda Rose, who was born on Oct. 28, 2005. They moved to Brooklyn, but then separated last year.
Calls by The New York Times to Mara Buxbaum, a publicist for Mr. Ledger, and Steve Alexander, the actor’s agent, were not immediately returned this afternoon.
Thomas J. Lueck contributed reporting.

Oh wow, that is surprising... just saw this thread and it caught my eye. That is so sad to hear...

I think he was going to be the new Joker in Batman Begins as well...

he was last seen looking like a homeless person.'

OMG!!! I can't believe that! :(

The NYPD is saying there was lots of pills near his body just all over the place. :(

How very sad

I just heard this on the news.. OMG.. I can't believe this.. he was a great actor. it's sad... he left a 2 yr old behind who won't get to know who her daddy was. :(

I loved him.....I thought he was such a good actor!!! I can't believe this....it is so horrible.

omg i was just going to post this! shocking!

I just read this on CNN. So terrible. :(

It's such a shame that drug addiction has taken the lives of so many young talented actors :(

Its sad at work they have a gambling pool over Britney or Amy. Whos going first.

It's sad to hear this...I have always liked them. It is even more sad that he lowered himself to using drugs....course, so many celebrities do now. Is it certain that he died from an overdose? How sad! :cry8:

Wow, that is so sad! It's shocking. He was a really good actor and such a cutie.

Well it just goes to say money can\'t buy you happiness.. I guess he won\'t be acting in BBM2
