Heath Ledger Found Dead

[VoldtaEngler]

Nooooo..i really liked this actor!!

This has put a damper on my day :^(

I wonder if the new batman will still release now.

[VoltaireBlue]

yeah, I just read about that on msn. He probably overdosed... he had a rep for being a party guy.

[SyntheticShock]

Sad, I read it may have been an overdose. I really wanted to see him play the Joker too.

[VoldtaEngler]

He will still play it. They finished filming it already and it's in post production editing now..but now its up to the studio if they still want to release it.

[Glork]

Well from what i know they were done filming so there is still a possibility.

When i heard this at work my jaw hit the floor. He didnt seem to be the kind of person who yea hear about dieing out of nowwhere

[athenahollow]

Yea, the word i've used today is "Surreal"

At first I didn't believe a friend when he told me, then once I searched, I found it, and sure enough. In mary kate olsen's apt at that.

And yes, they will release Dark Knight. It'd be ridiculous for them not to. Anyone remember what happened when Brandon Lee died?

Yea they mad a crappy sequel. Sorry not the time nor the place...

[athenahollow]

NM. they mary-kate thing was retracted. it wasn't her apt.

LOL. the crappy sequel doesn't count as a crow movie. But I digress, NYT needs to get their shit straight. They've changed the article I originally found 3 times in 2 hours.

[keiko]

they're ruling it a suicide now, at least in specualtion. it sucks. thats two this month. first Brad Renfro and now Heath Ledger.

yes Dark Knight is still coming out. They finished filming a few weeks back. Not to sound callous but i get the feeling this is going to do wonders for the box office number.

okay back to being sad at the loss of hollywood hotties.

[drewblood]

i usually dont feel anything when someone famous from hollywood dies and it gets plastered all over the news... but this actually made me sad. what a waste of talent.

[ForrestBlack]

Nothing travels faster over the interweb than an obituary. This means something, I think.

Yea, I had the same feeling.

And I didn't know about brad renfro. Geez. what's this world coming to?

Heath Ledger's death, at least to me, came out of nowhere. However, Brad's death, though it was awful, did have warning signs.

Memphis is a big little town where every one knows every one else. I knew Brad's family for awhile and all I can keep thinking about is how they heard the news.

I'm sorry, ya'll. I'm all out of sorts today.

yeah i know there were a lot of signs preceding brad's death. doesn't make it any less sad.

I think this is just one of those off days for everyone. you're forgiven.

[Tigerlily]

wow I didnt know about Brad either!! This is crazy

[Pull~My~Hair]

i always liked Heath Ledger apparently while filming The Dark Knight, he was very stressed over the role, he is playing a VERY dark joker in this film, which he was finding challenging. He began taking sleeping pills, he said that 2 Ambien would only keep him asleep for an hour. Sounds like an accidental overdose,

[Black Spiral Dancer]

The worst thing is, the Westboro Baptist Church intend to picket his funeral...

[athenahollow]

I hope they rot in hell.

[Glork]

The worst thing is, the Westboro Baptist Church intend to picket his funeral...

ummm....Why?

[VoltaireBlue]

what kind of fucked up person pickets a funeral?
religious zealouts make me want to firebomb churches.

[athenahollow]

ummm....Why?

Oh that's the fun part. because he PLAYED a gay guy in a movie.
That's it. No reason other than that.

These are the same people who blamed 9/11, the Tsunami, and Katrina on gays isnt it....

It's probably the god hate fags people who picket soldiers funerals from iraq as well.

They had a documentary on the family on the history channel last month..they look and speak like a cult. Bleh :\

[TheDeathKnight]

That's them...

[keiko]

hmm tox-screen came back inconclusive. turns out he was taking anti anxiety meds (known to depress the respiratory system), sleeping pills (again fucks with the breathing) and had pneumonia. might have been an accidental thing.

~K

[Bikerpunk]

He was also a fucking smack addict.

[VoldtaEngler]

Wheres the truth that he did any sort of drug besides the ones prescribed to him?
There was no coke found, or cocaine, or herion. A roll up $20 that came back clean with no drugs on it.

He was prescribed all the medication they found, so it could have reacted with each other along with pneumonia, but a smack addict? I dont think so.

[Mr Karl]

come to think of it, I don't think I've seen anyof his movies.

[Thurbane_316]

Yes, this was big news around the water cooler when the first reports came out. It's a shame, he was very young and at the peak of his career.

He went into rehab for smack last year. Why would he go into rehab if he didn't take it?

I think you may be thinking of when he was preparing for a film role:

" HEATH LEDGER checked himself into an Australian rehab facility and learned how to shoot up heroin from a junkie - to perfect his latest movie role. The Aussie actor plays a drug addict in new movie CANDY, but he had no idea how to portray his sick character on the big screen, because he has never stuck a needle in his arm."

" Ledger, who also stayed out of the sun and fasted to perfect the role of a pale, starving junkie, admits he had no longing to try hard drugs before making Candy, and now he'll never go near them."

I stand corrected!

Thanks, mate!

[Thurbane_316]

For the record, though, "A Knight's Tale" sucked like a supercharged hoover...

Well anything with Martin Lawrence is gonna suck.

[VoldtaEngler]

Well anything with Martin Lawrence is gonna suck.

While I agree...he's not in a Knights Tale..he's in Black Knight.

[Pull~My~Hair]

no he's in a knights tale...hes the main char....wait was that joke???wait...im stoned..i dont know

[VoldtaEngler]

Not a joke. "A Knights Tale" and "Black Knight" are two different movies.

[Morning Glory]

I usually have little love for celebrities, but for some reason this has made me genuinely sad.

i know that lol, i just couldnt tell if someone genuinley thought he was in Black Knight, or they were being a smart ass lol

I've heard a rumor that Some of Heath's family found out via Radio... Was it a similar case?
