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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
