I am shocked. Never thought this could happen. I know if the divorce had anything to do with this.


they were never married... but the TMZ guy is saying Ledger was really crushed over not seeing his little girl more.. and the break up with his girlfriend.

apparently, pills were found near him...

RIP Heath.

Reports say it was prescription meds (depression, anti-anxiety, possibly sleeping meds) I think that combined with a bout of pneumonia, traveling back and forth to London did him in. Entertainment outlets are saying it was an accident. One place reported that in an earlier interview, he said he couldn't sleep for days on end and took Ambien. Later in the night, he awoke in stumper and took more without realizing it. Sleep meds do weird things to people. I wonder if he accidentally took more of something??

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I think abuse on a body that was already weak from pneumonia did the poor fella in. . .slamming yourself full of meds while your body is trying to repair itself is not always  the best thing. Plus, I heard his work in The Dark Night really took a toll on his mind  and probably wore him out psychologically. Either way, Heath Ledger was under a good amount of stress, weak and went a little too far in self medicating. I definitely think it was an accident and bad medicine effects...prolly took stuff that was contra-indicated.

It sucks... God rest his soul.

my nephew had something similiar happen to him. he was having stomach trouble at school and had some kind of secondary flu bug or something.. and he mixed up his meds (we think) and died at his college dorm alone.

its a terrible accident but most of us wondered if he'd killed himself. turns out the autopsy was inconclusive, but he was in a good place emotionally ... he had had a troubled teen-hood though.

whats terrible is you will just never know..

i hope it was an accident for their sakes..

Lauri, I am so sorry for your loss.

My grandfather killed himself. He was terminally ill and wanted to end the pain. It's still devastating to know he felt that was the best option. He was in the Navy in WWII and a police detective for 30+ years. He was one of the last true blue heroes. I can kind of understand going out with your boots on I guess. It still leaves a path of devastation for your family though.

My grandfather did as well. I think we had this conversation before.

He was very handsome. God rest their souls.

Here's mine back in the early 80's with his mother. I don't have any pictures of him in the service.

I thought of him as an Aussie jerk who dissed Bush, W. Virginia and Salt Lake City.  (the latter two because theatres there would NOT show "Brokeback Mountain")

All that aside, it is always sad to hear about a tragic death of a young person.   My condolences to his loved ones.

I heard he had sleeping problems and was takng Ambien. The pills did not work well as expected and kept taking more and more. It's probably was an accidental death. I know he did not like all the attention he received.

Phelps is at it again...

Fred Phelps Goes Down Under

By Mike S. Adams
Wednesday, January 30, 2008

(c) Townhall.com

(Excerpt)

Fred Phelps, the pastor and head lunatic of Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) of Topeka, Kansas (call 785-273-0325 or visit godhatesfags.com) has written an open letter to the family of Heath Ledger. In the short letter is a demand that the Ledger family divulge the time, date, and place of the late actor’s burial in Perth, Australia, so WBC can go - in respectful proximity - and conduct a “religious service.”

Fred Phelps has already caused untold suffering and pain to the families of dead American soldiers by protesting their funerals with signs proclaiming that “God Hates America” because “Gad Hates Fags” and America tolerates them. He even proclaims on his website that Americans should celebrate Improvised Explosive Devices as a gift from a God who is punishing the soldiers by blowing them up – again, for America’s crime of tolerating homosexuality.

Phelps says that Heath Ledger would want the Westboro clan (or perhaps, Klan) to appear at his funeral for three reasons:

1. As a warning to the living that they should repent, "lest they also come into this place of torment. The church claims that Heath is pleading right now for somebody on earth to preach the truth to his family, unless they, too, “join him in Hell.”

2 If Heath could come back to life to speak to his loved ones on earth, he would “lift up his voice in a hideous scream,” in order to say "Listen to Phelps! For God's sake, Listen to Phelps.”

3. Finally, that the Ledger family owes it to the youth of a world that Heath misled in his movie "Broke Back Mountain" – specifically by misleading them into believing it was permissible, morally speaking, to be gay.

I'm guessing the answer to Phelps will be something along the lines of F*ck Off Asshat.
