Heath Ledger found dead in NY apartment
Australian-born actor Heath Ledger has been found dead at a downtown Manhattan residence in what authorities say is a possible drug-related death. He was 28.
A police spokesman said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the apartment that is believed to be his home. The housekeeper went to tell Ledger the masseuse had arrived and found him dead about 3.30pm New York time (0730 AEDT), Paul Browne said. Ledger was an Oscar nominee for his role in Brokeback Mountain and had numerous other screen credits. The Perth-born actor had a two-year-old Matilda, with former fiancee and Brokeback Mountain co-star Michelle Williams. US television network NBC reports his body was found surrounded by pills. "We are investigating the possibility of an overdose," Browne said. Ledger and Williams split in September last year. Ledger played the suicidal son of Billy Bob Thornton in Monster's Ball and had starring roles in A Knight's Tale and The Patriot. He was to appear as the Joker this year in The Dark Knight, a sequel to 2005's Batman Begins. http://au.news.yahoo.com/080122/2/15ltq.html |

anyone know if they already finished filming the dark knight?? i wonder who they are gonna replace if they didn't |
According to Yahoo he finished working on his role as the Joker.
RIP bro |
Well that's pretty damn unexpected.
Wonder if he's allowed in heaven for his role in Brokeback Mountain |
This pissed me off. he was def one of my favorites.... ugh =[
RIP |
That's dumb. Oh well. I enjoyed him in A Knight's Tale, but that's because all the ladies loved it.

Heath Ledger dies at 28.. pretty sad indeed.
Actually, heard it on the news last night right around the time the story was breaking, and I guess now apparently he may have accidently overdosed on sleeping pills that we're mixed or something, i'm sure we'll find out soon enough :( Quote:

I love how they assume that it was 'accidental'. I would like to have forensic proof that it was actually accidental. Furthermore, people are saying that his character, "The Joker", could have caused him to go insane. I'm sure he'd tell us, but he's not in the condition to do so.
|
The Patriot is a badass movie.
|
He was the highlight of Lords of Dogtown as far as I was concerned. The documentary Dogtown and Z-Boys was a much more entertaining watch overall, though.

Breaking News: I don't give a shit! Not even half a shit!

I find it so attractive how you don't care about anything and how you're such a non-conformist, Grav.
|
I don't give a bag of intimate fucks about Heath Ledger dying. I mean, that sucks for Heath Ledger and everyone he knows but you are not Heath Ledger or Heath Ledger's posse so stop acting like its Pearl Harbor. Also I noticed that no one at all was talking about Heath Ledger before he died, and now suddenly everyone is The Biggest Fucking Heath Ledger Fan Dot Com. You know what? YOU fake fucking Heath Ledger fans are the reason he died. If even one of you bastards had been there to take that bullet or sleeping pill or whatever for him, he might still be here today, waxing one of his eyebrows for the Batman premier.
|
See! He does care! He's just trying to hide it all with anger.
I thought it was a shocking story, so I posted it. 28 is an extremely young age to die at. |
Grav is just mad there isn't going to be a Brokeback sequel.
|
I actually just copied that from somewhere. I really couldn't care less.
|
Your coolness factor is so much higher than everyone else's, Grav.

By the way, who are you talking to that's acting like this is similar to Pearl Harbor? Certainly not anybody here. Nobody's taking it that hard. I think you're delusional. |
Hearse Deadger.
I just keep bringing the funny!! |
I'm just hoping they weren't planning on bringing The Joker back for the next Batman movie.

So the Phelps family, who protest soldier deaths, have an open letter to Heath Ledger's family a letter to disclose the location of the funeral so that they may protest it. Apparently, he's evil since he portrayed a homosexual character in one of his movies. They even claim that Heath Ledger would want the Westboro Baptist Church to protest his funeral:

Oh, those Westboro people. They're a wacky bunch!

------------ And that Westboro thing is wrong on so many levels. I would not want some preacher yelling over my dead body about how people will be damned by an all-benevolent God for a hormone imbalance. |

There is no citation - the cause of homosexuality has not yet been determined.
I wasn't claiming that was the only cause, as homosexuality is thought to be caused by a number of different things - most commonly a mixture of biological, social, and psychological circumstances. There is no actual proof for hormone imbalances causing homosexuality. However the traits that homosexuals possess hint at the presence of a dominant sex hormone which - in heterosexual cases - is not prevalent. One might look at a lesbian and notice she is more masculine. Masculinity is caused in part by testosterone. The same may go for gays - they are more effeminate. Ergo, more estrogen. I'm not making broad generalizations, as each case differs. We have really only been studying homosexuality for a short time, as it has recently become more common. My thought on the prevalence of homosexuality in recent times (and possibly metrosexuality) is that pesticide usage is a key factor. ---------------- I love being proven wrong; it's some sort of academic masochism. Do me in. |
Are you aware that the Greeks and Romans had widespread homosexuality as well, far before the prevalence of pesticides?
|
They promoted homosexuality in their armies.
|
No, I wasn't trying to prove you wrong. I just generally keep up with such things, and hadn't heard that a hormone imbalance caused homosexuality.
You may be interested in checking out information on a gene called xq28, however. If you're interested, I could get you pdfs of some papers. |

Well, an update has been announced, it's officially stated that an accidental overdose was the cause of his death.

Dead.

I hate that they call it an "Accidental overdose" his ingestion of those drugs was NO accident, he knew he was taking drugs and did it anyway, don't gte me wrong I liked the guy, the movies I saw him in were epic and he was a phenominal actor, but he didn't accidently take 6 different drugs
|
I hear that. There is no such thing as an accidental overdose, IMO.
|
maybe in the rare circumstance that you take the wrong pills for some sort of illness, you know,,,, You need to take 4 of your diabeetes pills but somehow 30mg oramorph made it into your scrip bottle
