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

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

    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.

    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?

    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 they mary-kate thing was retracted.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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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,

    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.

    He was also a fucking smack addict.

    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.

    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."
