Actor Heath Ledger Found Dead


http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/01/I/82/70/10/10s.jpg Actor Heath Ledger (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005132/) was found dead at a Manhattan apartment Tuesday afternoon in what appeared to be a possible drug-related death; he was 28. The actor was discovered in one of the SoHo apartment's bedrooms at 3:31 p.m., when a masseuse arrived for a scheduled appointment and the residence's housekeeper went to inform the actor of the masseuse's arrival. He was found unconscious and unresponsive; the New York Times stated that the apartment in question belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001581/), who was not present and was believed to be out of state. An initial police report also cited by the New York Times said that foul play was not suspected and that pills had been found near Ledger's body. A native of Australia, Ledger shot to fame as a teen heartthrob in 10 Things I Hate About You (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/) before graduating to more adult roles, most notably his Oscar-nominated turn in Brokeback Mountain (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0388795/). Engaged at one time to Brokeback co-star Michelle Williams (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0931329/), the two had a daughter but had split in recent months. Earlier this year, Ledger wrapped filming on the Batman film The Dark Knight (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/), in which he played The Joker; the film is currently set for release this summer. Further details of the actor's death were not available at press time. --IMDb staff

[blanksheet]

god, I was wathing tv a while ago and I saw it on sky news!
i just couldn't believe it...

so it was not his apartment? I don't know, but they were talking about overdose...

this is just... I don't even know what to say...

it was a couple hours ago...

[KellyD]

omg that is soo horrible. I love him as an actor. It's soo sad. My prayers are with his family and his daughter Matilda.

[Titch]

I can't believe he's dead! My brain won't process this! :(:(

This is what they're saying at the moment on BBC News: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7203797.stm


:(:(:(

[tcsced]

This is truly sad! He was such a good actor...even though I only saw him in Brokeback Mountain and The Patriot, even though I saw that years ago!

It's sad!!!

[3llen]

omg, this is so sad.. my prayers go out to his family, he was such a great actor.. :(:(:(

[justcarly]

i wonder if ellens gonna mention this tomorrow...
omg
i cant believe this
my brain isnt processing it either... he was just such a good guy.
I loved his wife Michelle Williams (ex wife i should say).

[jlilest]

They showed a clip that might have been him on TEDS during the taping.

[ohyeaah]

I'll bet ellen is so sad about this. I think they knew each other fairly well... remember he bought her 'tree house' a couple of years back?

michelle

[justcarly]

Ellen is really close to his ex wife, Michelle Williams.

theres a picture of them all together, heath, michelle, ellen and portia.
I think they were pretty close.

i only saw him in Brokeback and gotta say he was outstanding. I'm looking forward to see him in Dark Knight.

[vanblue2003]

i still can't believe it :(

[vizitor]

Only 28 years... REALLY sad... also for his family :(.

[Stephie22]

wow my mom just told me that heath is dead.

I dont know what to say he was so young , sweet and talented - its really really sad. :(

I liked him as an actor as well - Brockeback Mountain what a great Movie.

I`m also sad for his little daughter , now she most grow up without a Dad.

May he rest in peace. He will live forever in his movies.....

[LadyDeath91]

i cant believe this...omg...
:(:(:(:(

[JodieLee]

:woh_no:I heard it this morning in the radio and I was very shocked. I saw him in the movie "brokeback mountain" he was such a great actor. that's terrible.

[KellyD]

I was just on PerezHilton.com and this is what I read.
The "Reverend" Fred Phelps's Westboro Baptist Church announced plans (http://www.godhatesfags.com/written/fliers/20080122_heath-ledger-brokeback-mountain.pdf) to protest at the funeral of Heath Ledger.
Why?
The "God Hates Fags" hatemongers will picket the decease Aussie actor's funeral because he is a pervert who promoted homosexuality by appearing as a gay man in Brokeback Mountain.
We wish we could laugh at this stupidity, but it just makes us angry!
Heath may not have been perfect, but he doesn't deserve this.

I went to Fred Phelps website to find out for sure but I think there is too many people on it because I couldn't get into the schedule part. But I am soo sickened that he would even think of doing something like this. It's horrible. I wrote him a nice little email. heres what I wrote. (We need to stop him from ruining Heaths funeral)


I am sick to my stomache about what you do. I just read that you will be picketing Heath Ledgers funeral because he "promoted" homosexuality by starting in Brokeback Mountain. Are you serious??? He didn't promote it. He made a movie that is so real in todays world. He helped thousands if not millions of people that are too ashamed to be themselves, to come out of the closet. Stay away from his funeral. Let his friends, family and co-workers deal with their grief privately. It's already going to be a hard day for them, don't make it harder. Let him R.I.P I believe that everyone has different opinions on life, on how to live, and I believe that people have the right to speak freely, but what you are doing is unbelieveable and wrong in so many ways.

I'm a lesbian. I'm also a Christian. What you are teaching to your followers is completly wrong. What you are teaching is discrimination, racism, sexism. God doesn't teach that in the bible. He teaches love and acceptance, something that you should work on. I have a very close relationship with God, I know that he loves me no matter what. My church knows that too, why? Because they teach love and acceptance, and my church opens me and my partner with open arms. So for you to say that god hates homosexuality you are completly wrong! I guarentee you that God hates you. He doesn't want people teaching discrimination, which is exactly what you are doing. God didn't discrimate anybody, he loved everyone no matter what life style they were living. If you have any compassion at all, you will stay away from his funeral. You will let his loved ones mourn, they definetly don't need anybody like you to ruin the funeral.

[sweden]

I heard it this morning on the radio when I woke up, and started crying. God, it's just so sad... :( From now on I will think of him and all the great things he did everytime I watch the masterpiece Brokeback Mountain.

I've been watching Heath Ledger tribute videos and Brokeback Mountain-clips for about an hour now, and I'm still crying. I mean, the movie "Brokeback Mountain" in itself always makes me cry really much because it's a beautiful, sad movie, but then I'd always wipe my tears afterwards and think "well, at least it's only a movie, just because Jake Gyllenhaal died in the movie doesn't mean he died in real life". But this time it's not "only a movie"...

R.I.P

[Holla1968]

There are no words....So Sad! ..My prayers go out to his family.:(

He seemed like such a sweet, gentle, funny, humble man - and so talented....we'll miss him dearly!

WWJD? - He wouldn't picket a man's funeral!!!!

This makes me soo sick and sad!:(

[KellyD]

Ellen did talk about it on her show today, at the end of it. Ellen is really upset about it and she tried holding back the tears as she was talking about him. This is so horrible. I'll be praying for his family and friends. This is really devestating.

[tulip]

can you say what ellen said about him .i was hopeing that she would hold back the tears ,she must have been so upset

[RoseB]

She didn't cry on the show, but in the blog listed earlier she did have tears in her eyes, but they must of been edited out.

[KellyD]

can you say what ellen said about him .i was hopeing that she would hold back the tears ,she must have been so upset

heres what she said

she thanked her guests than she went on to say: Ughhh as most of you probably know by now and some of you may not know, ughh Heath Ledger was found dead a few hours ago ughh yesterday as your seeing this yesterday. Heath Ledger was an amazing talented young man 28 yrs old he was a friend, umm and we will miss him and ughh we want to leave you with the last time he was on our show.(her voice cracking up through the whole speech) she showed a clip of him and after the clip she said, cya tomorrow bye bye, with a few audience members unsure wether or not to clap. And at the end it said In Memory of Heath Ledger 1979-2008

[edgeyoukated]

That's so morbid.

I love his movies.
A Knight's Tale is one of my fave movies.
I have a ton of his work on DVD.

Call me crazy, but I don't think he committed "suicide".
even if he did die from O.D., he lived for his daughter and wife.
and I just can't imagine him doing that.

Kennedy did it.
(only Marilyn Monroe fans will get that.)

but instead of being to dreary over it, I think he should be
celebrate his genius in his work.

DELETED

[Humanafterall]

This is all very sad, and shocking. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and co-workers. :woh_sad:

[Tolaoi]

WTF :confused::eek::eek::eek:im freeeking shocked oh my god ...this is what drugs did to all ppl...many good ppl were lost by drugs :( not good at all

[Aslan]

i still don't wanne believe that he really died :(:(
heath was one of my fave actors - if not my fave
i saw him the first time in "a knight's tale" and i thought he was awesome
i'm gonna miss it to see him in a movie
everybody'll miss him!!

[jlilest]

WTF :confused::eek::eek::eek:im freeeking shocked oh my god ...this is what drugs did to all ppl...many good ppl were lost by drugs :( not good at all

From what I read, there were no illegal drugs found.

He may have simply accidentally taken too many or had a reaction to one of them.

yeah i mean about the pils that he taked ..too much ...and they also said that he fall asleep of them ...but its not in 100% true ..if there was any 100% new about caes of his dead?

[jlilest]

It will likely take several weeks for a cause of death to be officially established.

[petal]

My heartfelt prayers go out to his nearest & dearest, especially his daughter. This is absolutely tragic news. Over here in Oz it's mentioned frequently between songs on the radio & most ad breaks on the TV.

The latest is that is could take between 2-10 days for the toxicology tests to show anything "conclusive". There's also mention of a $20 note that was found near him??? It's being examined. It's just so incredibly sad.

it's so hard to believe
i loved heath (and jake) in brokeback mountain. i remember seeing it at a really small cinema that only has 30 seats with a friend who is a real macho man, and by the end of it we were both in tears. he was such a good actor.
at work, where i process news stories, i often do the obituaries, and last night i just read article after article on how good an actor and person he was, and how he will be missed, and it's all so true, and so sad
RIP

[Aslan]

the video about heath & ellen is now on her official site
i still can't believe he's really gone :(

[Tristania]

From what his family and close friends are saying, they all think it was an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. I think it would be too devastating for them if toxicology results are anything more sinister than that.

I believe Michelle Williams has now arrived back in NY after rushing back from Sweden where she was filming her latest flick. She was accompanied by the couple's wee daughter Matilda and has her Mother and the baby's god-mother ( Dawson's Creek actress Busy Phillips ) to comfort her in the coming days. What a horrible piece of news to be told and my heart goes out to their wee girl :(

Found this in a newspaper article.......

In addition to his Manhattan loft and the Brooklyn house where Michelle and Matilda live, Ledger owned a prestige home in the Hollywood Hills that he bought from television host Ellen Degeneres and her Australian actor partner Portia De Rossi in 2006 for $A2.6 million.

[DegeneresDerossi2007]

sorry for the miss up.

[maddog]

The mother of late rock star Michael Hutchence says she has "shed tears" for Health Ledger's daughter, who will never know her father.

"(She), like my granddaughter Tiger Lily, will never know her father ... it breaks my heart to think about her watching his films, like Tiger watches Michael's clips," she said.

Ledger, 28, died in his Manhattan apartment on Tuesday, which would have been Hutchence's 48th birthday.
Hutchence died at Sydney's Ritz-Carlton hotel in November 1997, with the NSW coroner ruling he had committed suicide.

Ledger had been tipped to play Hutchence during a biopic of the late INXS frontman.

The gathering included industry luminaries and those connected to CAA (the agency that represented Ledger), including Cruise. It comes a week after relatives and close friends – including ex-girlfriend Naomi Watts (http://www.people.com/people/naomi_watts) – paid tribute (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20174029,00.html) to the 28-year-old actor at a smaller service at an L.A. cemetery.

Saturday's service began around noon on the lot, which is closed to the public. Attendees included Miller, Ledger's Casanova costar, and speakers included Haynes, who directed him in last year's Bob Dylan film I'm Not There.

Heath Ledger died of accidental overdose

28-year-old actor had oxycodone, anti-anxiety, sleep aids in his system

NEW YORK - Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdose of painkillers, sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medication and other prescription drugs, the New York City medical examiner said Wednesday.The cause of death was “acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine,” spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said in a statement. The drugs are the generic names for the painkiller OxyContin, the anti-anxiety drugs Valium and Xanax, and the sleep aids Restoril and Unisom. Hydrocodone is another name for ibuprofen.
