Heath Ledger found dead in apartment...

Terrible news. And TDK comes out next month(?) so I'm pretty sure that everything is finished with it.

its been a couple hours now since the news broke and I sat there watching A Knight's Tale as a last Hurrah in memory of Heath, and when it was over I still couldn't believe he is dead. Such a shame. He is truly going to be missed by this avid movie fan.

Hmm wonder what drug it was? same one as Brad Renfro? Such a shame too, cuz I read an interview with him in rolling stone and he was a real cool guy very humble and seemed like he was ok with the whole crazy lifestyle. R.I.P. Heath Its always the ones you least expect when you least expect it.

Hmm wonder what drug it was? same one as Brad Renfro? i've heard scuttlebutt about brad renfro that the coroner is of the opinion that it was a lethal combination of xanax and alcohol (that'll certainly get it done) that killed him. i don't know what the M.E. is basing this on though -most likely evidence found at the scene, just like in heath ledger's case.

A shame. Heath was a very good actor with a great deal of potential. He was the only thing that made A Knight's tale worth watching.

i gotta agree with mo on this one....how is it possible that in a world of worthless imbeciles (chris crocker, brittney spears, danny bonaduce, etc) one of the finest actors under 30 is the one to die...there's like two dozen celebs who this should've happened to...

He was the only thing that made A Knight's tale worth watching. Was that sarcasm.....? If I was handed a million dollars for watching that movie this is what I would say right afterwards..... "Wow that was awsome!!! I just got a million bucks!....though its a shame that the movie sucked so bad" Nonetheless its a shame he died....he was a capable and talented actor....(but that doesnt make Knights Tale anywhere close to watchable)

Just read in a crawler in TV that police believe drugs may have played a role due to prescription medications found at the scene & another container of pills in the bathroom. So it may have been an accidental sleeping/painkiller &/or alcohol OD. Damn shame either way.

I just this minute woke up with the news being read on my radio and now I feel like s**t. This has to be the most important actor death in the last ten years and it might buck up these striking actors into sorting their lives out. I'm hearing that with playing The Joker in The Dark Knight, he was getting two hours sleep a night on average and has been taking pills to combat this; I highly doubt it was suicide. The world has lost a potential 'great' and I'm sure there are many weeping girls out there this morning. R.I.P. "You gotta approach every day as if it's your last." ~Skip, Lords Of Dogtown

thats a damn shame he was a good actor that wasnt pidgeon holed or typecast, thats a rare thing nowadays.

If it's an overdose there's surely only one person to blame?

[capncnut]

If it's an overdose there's surely only one person to blame? Things aren't as simple as that, it could've been completely accidental. Low metabolism combined with a couple of pills that wouldn't ordinarily kill a person. I guess we'll have to wait and see later today when the post mortem results are in.
