Heath Ledger found dead in NYC apartment

[bazgnr]

If drugs are indeed the cause, it's all so very stupid, and all so very sad.  My condolences to his family, especially his little girl.

I think michelle williams did the right thing in distancing herself. He might have died anyway, imagine if his little girl was the one to find him dead instead of that masseuse ?

Dude this is so sad. I mean if you fuck around with drugs, you bring it on yourself, but still dude. Wow.

At the risk of sounding like an ass (like usual for me)...the thing that pisses me off about this type of thing is the waste of it all.  It's such a selfish act.  If you're gonna lose it, I mean really go off the deep end, give all your money to charity.  Go meet some people with real problems and try and put things into perspective.  There are kids with cancer in the world...there are people who really need help out there...and then there's the 2 year old mentioned earlier who needs him most of all.  Unfortunately not everybody has the ability to think beyond their self.  If something's not working for you, fame, your job, whatever, get out!  (not out of this world by taking your life).  I sure hope this was an accident...unfortunately, to off yourself with a ton of pills would probably mean it was intentional.  If he had a 2 year old, what a scumbag...that's even worse.    

As always I agree with everything you have said here.

It's all very selfish.

My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.  Most of all, his two year old daughter.  May he rest in peace.

Actually i believe it was the housekeeper who found him. She came in to tell him the masseuse has arrived i believe.

R.I.P

I love the holier than thou mindset of the people who clearly weren't experiencing the pain and weren't in the same headspace as the man who quite possibly killed himself, condemning him for "abandoning his daughter" like you have the goddamn right.

Fuck.

You.

RIP Heath, an enormous talent lost.

Life isn't always as glamorous as it seems , it's possible he was facing some dark times , or he became self-indulged in his character , or it was an accident we should find out soon..

Never judge anybody

I love and respect all of u on here but Talking shit about Heath isn't cool at all.

No one could possibly know what he could've been going through

Also, it may have been an accident, so no one should made any assumptions at this point.


I liked the guy as an actor and it really sucks that he died.


RIP


People need to stop being disrespectful.

I know he had a daughter but still, it aint right to be so harsh on someone.

[The Dog]

I wonder if it was mind altering hallucinogenics he was on to try to "think" more like the joker.  I read to get in character he locked himself in a hotel room for a month and tried to think how being a serial killer would be funny (or something twisted like that).

stinks hes dead.  very young talent.  he was amazing in brokeback.

I couldn't agree with you more. He was a fantastic actor and its so sad. R.I.P

Hey, flame away pal, that's cool.  Remember though, I made my condemnation conditional.  Who knows, maybe his death was an accidental overdose.  If however, he willingly took his own life and left his 2 year old girl fatherless, I stand by my "scumbag" statement.  Talented, sure, but like Kurt Cobain...a scumbag.  

I am amused by the irony of your calling me "holier than thou" though...I haven't been to Church in many, many years!    That was cute.  

"I love the holier than thou mindset of the people who clearly weren't experiencing the pain and weren't in the same headspace as the man who quite possibly killed himself, condemning him for "abandoning his daughter" like you have the goddamn right."

That little girl sure will experience pain......Yes, I have the "goddamn right"

I made all my comments conditional on the circumstances of his death. 

D, I respect you and everybody else here, but I respectfully disagree with the statement, "Never judge anybody."  Hell, we judge people all the time.  Whether it be athletes, politicians, or movie stars, it's part of what we do.  Nobody here has been disrespectful to Heath Ledger. (except for the "just another dead celebrity" b.s.)  All other comments have been conditional.  If this was an accident every person here is in agreement that it was just a completely tragic accident.

I think traditional Batman fans will easily blame this on the Joker character, and mabye unfairly.... They are used to a cheery Joker...
With this dark persona he is playing, this will convince people this consumed him..

FYI this is the second related death with this movie... I remember reading a crew member was killed on set a few months back.... Also they had to cancel a scene due to a contaminated lake... Seems wrapped in a dark cloud...

[The Dog]

^^ god i hated all the batman movies. I get so  when people rave about Nicholson in the first one.  That movie was a stinker.

the batman cartoon has a better portrayal of the joker than the 80s movie did.

I won't be as nice as you. That's got to be one of the dumbest things I ever read on a message board - you can't make it through the day without judging people, whether they are celebrities or anyone else, it's totally ridiculous and meaningless.

Which is?

Plus the movie was 90 or 91(not that it matters)

the movie was '89. and i agree with butters. the joker in batman the animated series is the definitive joker for me. he was perfect. and not many know this, but mark hamill did the voice for him!!

although judging by the trailer, i think heath's joker might top it for me. its gonna feel so weird watching that movie this summer....
