This makes me sadder than it should :( rest in peace :(
He deserved the Oscar for that performance, IMHO.
hahaha, what the fock is up with that choice of picture??
yeah, not loving the visual...perhaps something a little more flattering is in order?
I agree that the picture is a little out of context, but I'll leave the choice up to Adam.
not his apartment! mary-kate olsen's apartment!
he was renting it, according to some articles.
Poor Heith...
But I've got to say it: what about The Dark Knight? I mean, the main villain fucking killed himself shortly after shooting was finished. How tight is that movie going to be?
I fucking loved A Knight's Tale.
much better pic, thanks!
hey anon 11:11-he may not have killed himself. Don't speculate.
it isn't blind speculation. you die naked in a bed surrounded by pills at age 28, what else are people supposed to think?
-not 11:11
I have an alternate theory, which is supported by more recent reports. Such as http://www.smh.com.au/news/film/heath-ledger-dead-at-28/2008/01/23/1201024937592.html
He he been working flat out on I'm Not There and had been stressing quite a bit about his role in the film, so he was taking the sleeping pill Ambien, which has a stack of potentially dangerous side effects - sleep walking, eating, driving and sexing as well as rage, confusion and hallucinations.
So he's stressed and exhausted as well as apparently being sick with pneumonia, and is steadily taking more and more pills because they aren't working very well. So he was probably feeling really shit being sick and tired and all and decided to sleep it off. He takes too many pills because of the state he's in and any number of possible side effects, and dies of an accidental overdose.
The guy was happy, not just because he's successful but because he was actually happy. It's just a terribly unfortunate chain of events.
really sad. i'm actualy quite suprised by how much this upset me.
yeah i experienced someone i know dieing and i didnt know heath obviously but it has upset me a lot, more than i thought it would. he was a very talented actor and was in his prime. it's such a sad loss, he would have become one of the greats. so sad.
