FACEBOOKRip Heath Ledger My heart goes out to your family and friends and mostly your little girl. I thought he was a remarkable actor. Besides having good looks going for him he seemed to have a magical talent at totally being the character he was playing. It's seems like he had a lot of love to give. Falling for his co stars quickly is a sign of that and then the way the neighborhood he lived in talked about how he was with his daughter and how down to earth he was with them. And lastly all the drugs the found were prescribed to him and I think it was just a terrible accident that happened. Maybe he didn't take the dosage right or something. Friends said he wasn't abusing alcohol therefore I doubt if he was abusing any other harmful drugs I also hear he was ill during the recent filming of the picture they have now canceled so give me a break.

Hours after Heath Ledger’s untimely death, crew members on the Vancouver set of his new fantasy adventure movie, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, were sent home, a source tells Us.
“I just got the call [Tuesday] saying everyone was being let go,” the on-set source tells Usmagazine.com. “We were supposed to start this weekend, but obviously they fired everyone today.
“They don’t know yet what they are doing with the footage that was already shot,” the source adds.
Ledger was on a break from filming when he died Tuesday. Shooting had begun in London last December. He was last photographed on set Jan. 19.
“Right now, everyone is in complete shock and can’t even speak,” the on-set source says.
The movie co-starred singer Tom Waits.
A rep for the movie’s production could not be reached.

HEARTFELT PRAYERS,
SINCERE SYMPATHIES, AND
TREMENDOUS LOVE TO
THE FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND COLLEAGUES OF
THE BRILLIANT ACTOR,
HEATH LEDGER.
GOODNIGHT, HEATH.
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE WITH GOD.
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.
GOODNIGHT, HEATH.
REST IN PEACE.
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.
HEATH LEDGER WAS AN AMAZING ACTOR! WHAT A SAD TIME THIS IS FOR HIS DAUGHTER MATILDA, MICHELLE WILLIAMS, HIS FAMILY, AND ALL HIS FRIENDS. REST IN PEACE HEATH. I'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO BE COMFORTED.
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.
Get your facts straight. Multiple reports from his friends and coworkers have indicated that for the past two years he's been having drug problems -- including heroin -- and that he did an aborted stint in rehab. His girlfriend dumped him because of it, and the latest police report indicates that illegal substances, including heroin, were found in the apartment.
Grow up, and feel sorry for the kid, not her junkie father.
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.
it is tragic because he left behind a little girl. this will affect her life enormously, so yes it is a tragedy
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.
Such a heartbreaking loss....Heath was a very gifted actor, and I am sure, a very loving father and friend...The world is a little darker without his presence...Rest In Peace Sweet Angel...You will be missed and loved always.
