TMZ is reporting that he had pneumonia at the time of his death.

I dunno. I'll believe it when the autopsy results come out. I believe it was either Perez or TMZ that had a photo from him on Saturday at the movie set doing a scene. Unless he wasn't sick on Saturday (which is highly unlikely...pneumonia doesn't just all the sudden affect you), there's no way he'd be ok enough to be at work. I've had walking pneumonia before - the name is deceiving. I was barely able to stand up without feeling like I was going to faint. I literally crawled off my couch a few times because I was too weak to stand up. Pneumonia is TERRIBLE.

I was watching a local Fox station. The Entertainment reporter indicated he had an interview with Ledger just a few weeks ago. Evidently, he was throwing everything into being a father to his new baby. Then came the break up.

I doubt it was pneumonia.

What I heard was that he was in his apartment and was scheduled for a massage. When the maid came to let in the MT, they found him dead

I saw this on another board and I didn't believe it. My first reaction was holy shit, and now, two hours later, I still feel kind of shocked at the news. Everyone in my house (my housemates are not big gossip folk) is talking about it, as are all my friends. It's so sad, and I hope it wasn't an overdose, accidental or intentional, because that would make this whole thing even sadder. My heart goes out to his little girl, especially because I saw a quote of his saying that leaving her to go to work in the morning was the most difficult thing he'd ever done.

Rest in peace

I doubt it was pneumonia.

TMZ had a video of an interview with him where he said that he felt okay about dying, because he was within his little girl.

This pisses me off. He was so talented and one of my favorite actors, and I don't really have favorites. He was only a year older than me! I really hope the other young Hollywooders learn a lesson if this was an overdose... accidentally or intentional. And if they don't learn their lessons, than it's their own fault and deserve what they get.

RIP Heath. Damnit.

I'm hoping it was accidental. He supposedly was having trouble sleeping since working on the Batman movie - it sounds like his Joker was really getting inside his head.

And Hollywood won't change its habits after this anymore than it did after River Phoenix died of an OD outside of Johnny Depp's club.

This is how the Olsens were linked to Heath's death:

If you go back to the TMZ.com homepage, Heath's family contacted TMZ.com. According to them, he did not kill himself because "he wasn't that kind of person."

28?

I thought he was in his 30s.

"A Knight's Tale" is one of my favorite movies.

Another great actor gone way too soon. R.I.P.

DAMN.

My local news just showed footage (probably the same) of them taking his body out of the apartment and loading it into the ambulance. Good grief news media, we don't need to see EVERYTHING.

RIP Heath.

I saw the news tonight at my volunteer job. I kinda yelped and got laughed at. I cannot believe it. What is going on?

Obsession8 · #60 01-23-2008, 01:20 AM

I was having such a good day (Oscar nods announced) until I heard (rather late

). I was getting ready for an NPHC meeting when Brian Williams mentioned it on NBC Nightly News. I immediately starting flipping channels (CNN); I just couldn't believe it...still can't. I was just watching Brokeback the other day on HBO. Damn.

R.I.P. Heath, condolences to Matilda and the rest of his family.
