when i looked on yahoo answers it said that heath ledgers last movie was the dark night and i watched a documentary on the dark night and it said that johnny depp pl,ayed in it as joker cuz heath ledger diedwhen they were making it.

is this a gay porn star? I dont understand who this is...

Speculation and assumptions will continue until the autopsy is finalised. To die at such a young age is incredibly sad regardless of the circumstances.
Some have said that 'he chose heroin over his daughter' what a heartless comment! If indeed Heath was suffering from 'depression' which possibly contributed to a drug addiction, it is not the 'heroin' that killed him (that is simply a tool)... but the illness itself.
Attempting to treat a drug or alcohol dependency in itself is futile, it is the underlying trauma that an individual is battling with that requires treatment.
It's the trauma that leads to chemical changes/imbalances in the brain resulting in an 'illness' and without help and support, it is the illness that drives the indivdidual to self medicate with drugs/alcohol.
Clinical depression IS NOT A CHOICE, do we blame the individual because they suffer from diabetes? NO. Mental illness is no different, but sadly society has a lot to learn.
There are only 2 types of people that fully understand 'depression', the people that suffer from it and the Psychiatrists that treat it.

TO: ANONYMOUS at 2:44 PM - It is ALWAYS a TRAGEDY when a young person dies. Have fun with your negative LIFE..try not to waste it.

Yes Tragic is the CORRECT word here. What elese could you say. He was slowly killing himself but not intentionnaly, It was done out of being lonely. I feel for him because he had no idea how special he really was. How dare anyone say anthing different. Yes it was selfish but did he really know he was going to just die? no note was left.

re: the 1st poster

don't talk about what you don't know about. you're claiming he was doing heroin and NO heroin related anything was found. and in an interview w/ "New York" mag when "Candy" came out he said he's never done touched the stuff.

Please stop using the word, "tragic." "Tragic" is a kid with cancer, or someone killed by a drunk driver. "Tragic" isn't a multi-millionaire with a beautiful little girl, willingly pushing junk into his veins. That's "stupid" and "selfish."

Don't romanticize it by saying it's "tragic."

I am so sad about this man death, it so sad to know he was alone without a wife or friend to be by his side this tragic event could of been provented if he hadnt been alone so much, someone could of seen the signs much earlier. God say's for man not to be alone , and because of his status of being a Famous actor, he felt like he had to be like a hermit. NOt talking to people for days at a time can't be healthy. Not to mention the sad addiction to drugs . I feel so sad that this wonderful, sweet, precious, person should still be here. not gone. I want to cry. I think Michelle should not have left him. She should of stood by his side during this problem, NOw look at what she has to deal with , now she has to deal with telling her two year old daughter that Daddy will not be coming back. Just so sad, I feel for her , I do. But to be alone when you die is heartbreaking. He will be missed.

I am very sad about his death.... i don't even know what to write... but Heath you will be missed.
