Heath Ledger is dead

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.

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.

Well, I still get a little sad everytime I pass by The Viper Room.

I'm really shocked and sad. I'm shocked that I'm so sad. I really liked him and thought he had alot of potential, especially after Brokeback Mountain. His performance was amazing.

Young Hollywood needs to wake up, but sadly I don't think they will.

They said that his breakup with Michelle was more of a sad one and that they talked everyday. I can't imagine what she is feeling right now. I think I'm more shocked about his death because he wasn't in the limelight, out partying hard every night. You never really heard about his life besides his movies and the very little we heard about his marriage. And I admire that he was very picky about his roles and didn't just choose some because of the money. He was a true actor who just wanted to act and he was amazing at it. Hollywood lost a good one today.

No I don't mean for this to be disrespectful. Someone made it, I saw it, so now I'm posting to share.

I feel the same way. I am saddened and, at the same time, surprised that this has touched me in this way (Celebrity deaths don't general upset me too much). But with this, I am like looking up old articles, watching old interviews...I guess looking for something that makes this make sense.
I feel like, in some weird way, I grew up with this guy and I admired his talent. This is really tragic, whatever the circumstances.

Ditto over here. I think it hit me so hard that I found out just a couple hours after his body was even found. I'm shocked that it got to the news so fast, but also knowing that he was found just a couple hours before rocked me, like he was just right there....
