Heath Ledger

Wow, can't believe he's dead. What a waste. i thought he was a great actor and look forward to seeing him in the new Batman, but will be weird, now that he has passed. shame.

CNN is saying the police suspect a possible drug overdose...I enjoyed his work.

He has a 2 year old little girl too...RIP.

possible accidental overdose is what police are now saying, but no one will know till toxicology and autopsy reports are done. Sad for the daughter Matilda

The news last night said it was suicide. I've also heard that they plan to re-shoot the Dark Knight...which really blows, because he looked like he really nailed the part.

i think you may have miss-understood the news. They mentioned it may be a possible suicide, however all evidence makes it seem that it was a tragic accident. He had a massage scheduled for yesterday afternoon.....and had been interviewed by the new york times recently and mentioned that he was having a heck of a time getting any sleep during the filming of batman. He mentioned that he took multiple sleeping pills and could only sleep for an hour or two....so I would have to say this is a horrible, tragic accident. Very sad....being 28 myself kind of puts it in perspective.

It's a complete shame. The guy took on some pretty challenging roles. I thought I'd see him for the next 40 years.

I couldn't believe it when I heard about this.

Horrible.. horrible tragedy.

I used to pop sleeping pills like candy too.. I had a HORRIBLE insomnia issue for years, but through deep meditation, prayer, and various relaxation methods I was able to conquer my sleeping pill issue.

Rest in peace, bro.. may you be relaxing with the angels in Heaven..

As Kevin said.. puts things into perspective..

Exactly, he was an actor who's career I would have followed for a long time. Our parents generation had people like Sinatra and Hepburn and they were able to enjoy their careers for years and years. I was hoping to do the same. What a shame.
