This is another sobering reminder that you can go at any time, no matter how young you are.


Also, because people will ask: The Dark Knight has already finished filming. it will not be cancelled. Please do not ask about it.

dang. The Patriot will never be the same :'(

safe journeys, Heath

That's a crying shame, particularly at such a young age. I havent seen a huge portion of Heath's work, but he was wonderful in Brokeback Mountain.

I almost couldn't believe this when I read it. I have been around for quite a few celebrity deaths, some of which I knew and loved very well such as Chris Farley and John Ritter. But this, this truly left me jaw dropped. Heath was so very young, so very talented, and had a truly kick ass promising career ahead of him.

I really hope it wasn't intentional because despite the fact I am WELL aware celebrity life can be pressuring, with a 2 year old little girl and already working on movies, making plans, and scheduling a masseuse to come to his room, I do not believe in my heart that he intentionally wanted to die overdosing on the pills.

I really hope that isn't the case even though we don't have all the facts yet. Either way, that doesn't change the fact the movie industry lost a very sharp and up and coming star. The brief snippets of the Dark Knight trailer alone shows he was talented enough to truly disappear into a character role and change my assumptions about him.

I truly feel saddened and utterly shocked that Heath Ledger is dead and I really believe we have lost a genuinely great actor. R.I.P Ledger, R.I.P.

Damn!!! I just got back today from my new semester at Nassau Commun' and before I know it, Heath Ledger dies!

This sucks a lot considering the fact that I was really looking forward to seeing the next Batman movie with Ledger as the Joker.:( R.I.P.

I was really shocked when I read this earlier today. He was so young and his poor little daughter. On the news right now they are saying that it looks like suicide. I really hope it wasn't, but I don't know. RIP Heath.

When I was watching a rerun of The Soup this afternoon, there was a little banner on the screen that stated Heath Ledger was found dead earlier. I was shocked and suprised to see this, so I went online, looking for confirmation.

This sucks; We have the first big celebrity of 2008 to suddenly pass away. What a loss. I haven't been much of Leger's work, but he seemed like a good actor and a good person. Pity.

I wish I could feel as much for this man as some other people have. I can't list any movies he's been in, that I've seen and enjoyed.

But it is still a shock, and a shame, that anyone his age should die in such a way.

I can't believe he died so suddenly, and at such a young age. :wiltshock:

Heath Ledger is definetly going to be missed. :(

Wow, I am in so much shock that I am still having a hard time believing this to be real.

I remeber going with my dad to see two of his most well known movies The Patriot and A Knight's Tale in the theater, and having a great time at both.

And like a lot of other fans I was totally looking forward to seeing the man, in what would have been the role that would have surely catapulted him into super stardom.

Sad sad indeed.

What?!

Holy-...

OMG. O. M. G.

Okay, I'm shocked and I've been left speechless. Oh my goodness. R.I.P. Heath :(

Yes, I heard this today. Very sad, very sad indeed. I loved him in "Ten Things I Hate about You", and then again in "The Patriot". My condolences to his friends and family.

RIP Heath, we'll miss you. :cry:

I was without words, when hearing about Ledger's passing. It's definitely tragic stuff. From what I've heard, they're saying it probably wasn't suicide.

I've never seen any of Heath Ledger's films, but from what I've heard he was quite a good actor. What a terrible waste, I'm sure he had a lot going for him, his family, his films. It's horrible, it really is.:(

It's starting to look like it was just a matter of Ledger getting hit with pneumonia while his immune system was on the ropes from his recent unwellness, insomnia, and stress from his recent movies. I hope the paparazzi lay off his daughter and let her live a quite life.:(

They are saying now that investigations of his house has turned up some kind of evidence that he was a drug user (whether or not that contributed to his death) but I turned off the radio before they said what it was (if they were even going to).

Exactly. I was doing a paper for my AP Lit class and when I got on the 'Net to do some research, one of the bulletins in the news section of MSN was that Heath Ledger was found dead. I was so surprised. He was so amazing in Brokeback Mountain-- he played Ennis del Mar so well and with such sympathy. It's so sad...

I hope everything goes well for his family, particularly his daughter. I lost my mom when I was small, so I know that losing a parent is so painful. Here's hoping that she has only happy memories of her daddy.

Oh man... :( I'm speechless... R.I.P. Heath. :'(

Yeah, that sucks.
