Heath Ledgers Dead!

  Top of Page

Just got back from my driving lesson this morning, and saw flashing across the TV big headlines that Heath Ledger (aussie actor was in movies like 10 Things I Hate About You, The Patriot, Monsters Ball, Brokeback Mountain, Ned Kelly and the upcoming Batman Movie The Dark Knight playing The Joker).

Quite shocking really.

Police have said so far that no foul play is suspected and pills where found near his bed. Looks like a drug overdose to me but I guess time will tell. There was no note left and he's 28 so unlikely to be death by natural causes; which I guess further imprints that it might be an overdose.

Still... he was a great actor and a tops aussie bloke. Pretty sad really. RIP Mate.

Sorry, but who cares?

another Celeb drug related death.. self inflicted.

That being said. He was an Aussie, and all of us should feel at least a little bit sympathetic... plus, if you've seen the trailer for The Dark Knight, you'd realise he's a kickass actor too...

But yes I too am growing tired of the drug abuse... Why can't famous people all just be alcoholics like in yesteryear? They lived longer, said more profound sh1t and we had more opportunities to laugh at them because they're drunk!

Lol I almost seem to have a double standard.... you're allowed to screw up with drugs/alcohol/sex with women only if you're Australian big_smile

PWNED.

I won't pass judgment on how he died. We may not ever know how it happened. As with any death, its always a sad and unfortunate time, whoever it is. I'm sure he'll be missed.

Hear Hear. As an aussie I have sympathy for him because it takes alot of effort to make it to hollywood and get to where he was. I dont put him in the same basket as those other slarts born with a golden spoon.

Why should him being Australian affect whether we care or not? Are you saying you would care less if he were American, British or even Asian?

Sure, he's a good actor and all, but at the end of the day he's just another guy that died. If you got sad about everyone that died in the world, you'd never get out of bed mate.

I think the point being made was that Heath was an actor who basically established himself out of virtually nothing. 16yo High School Dropout, who scraped up enough cash working here doing small little jobs to fly over to the USA, and did well himself.

He (was) another Australian Success Story.

We can't establish that he's killed himself, mate.

I'll agree with you, in that sense he certainly did do well for himself. But saying its more of a shame purely because he's Aussie, is a bit of an outlandish statement...
Maybe I just need to get some more southern cross tats or something.

Btw I never said he did kill himself?

It is a shame.
The comment about why we should care if hes Aussie or not...well being Australian's we should take a little pride in what our country can produce.
hahaha @ the comments on Lindsay and Paris..... and  also Amy Winehouse.... Someone needs to bitch slap them all and send them to Jail, anyone else on the street would serve time for Narcotics so why don't these trashy assholes go?

I heard on the radio this morning that playing The Joker - a schizophrenic psychopath with no empathy skills - got to him. Some quote from an interview in the NYTimes last Nov has him saying he has to take sleeping pills to turn his brain off from thinking about it. Then he had to take more because they weren't having the same effect...maybe it was just an accident rather than a suicide...

Have a heart for the family who heard it via the media first!!

Rumour has it that he died of a "Crack" overdose and that he picked the habit up whilst filming brokeback mountain.
