To "Dr Shariar Zia-Zarrinmayeh or whatever your name is", it's astonishing how somebodys passing spawns such negativity for a whole country. If you knew anything about Aus you would realise that it is one of the most multi-cultural countries today, which is pretty impressive for a small continent. Anyway thats not the point

As for the other, there are so many terrible comments. I am so fortunate to have known him and the great passion he felt towards his family and his goals. And especially his baby. He loved Michelle so dearly and always told everyone what a great mum she was (and still is). Unfortunately sometimes people with such a creative but overactive mind can't switch off, but surely that doesn't give us the right to be so judgemental.

I'm a bit saddened by comments from people who obviously have no idea whatsoever about the beautiful, kind, thoughtful person that was Heath - because if you did know him you would know what is plausible and what is absolute rubbish without hesitating. RIP my friend xo

courtney it was an accidental od and they decided to seperate together and he was in his own apartment when he was found

You maggot filth that say horrible things about Heath himself, & Heath's family can go rot in your parents basement and get fatter uglier and more and more disgusting, you deserve NOONE at all, i hope you all end up cold and lonley. If you speak how you are about death itself, and dead people...I really do hope you go to hell and burn, I also hope YOU die painfully and slow. Stop being so heartless, and disrespectful to this great actor. He was an amazing man, and will never ever be forgotten. Rest In Peace Heath. You are loved and missed dearly.xox

PS. All of you who do say these horrible things are either 12 years old,
or fkn sick in the head. Get some help, please. Freakin keyboard warriors.

If Heath had died from natural causes and not a combo of prescription drugs, would this 'friend' have seen it coming!

Heath did have the potential of being a good actor and not just because of his looks. It just seemed to me he chose very risky parts to play. His roles were either evil, dark or the rebellious type. I did like him in "A Knight's Tale." I know his death was accidental, and he'll be truly missed by his daughter, Matilda.

It has been 3 mos. now since Heath Ledger's passing. Many people are still shocked by his death but really when you think about it it comes as no surprise that no one cared enough to help him. He lived and worked in a very ego centered, materialistic, workaholic, fast paced environment. He was thousands of miles away from family and his significant other Michelle Williams was probably at a loss as to how to help him. Problems of a psychiatric/addiction nature require time and professional expertise to resolve and Heath Ledger and everyone else in that fast lane were just caught up in the momentum of their own careers. I don't think his friends should be blamed but I do think Heath Ledger himself should have recognized the fact that he needed help and should have taken a sabatical from movies in order to deal with his problems. So he would have absenced himself for a year or two but at least he would still be alive. Being talented he could always have made a comeback. I think there are many lessons to learn from what happened to him.

They saw it coming and let the dead, dead loser aussie scum die anyway! HAHH HAAH--good riddance, sad pathetic LOSER!

I was shocked and massively saddened to hear that Heath Ledger had passed away. To me he had a rare quality of heart and soul, a deep sensitivity and reflective intelligence.
What has shocked me almost more than his death is the quantity of vitriole and loathing that has been expressed in so many blogs. To realise that so many people not only have such hideous thoughts, but publish them is really worrying.
The irony is that they are much more toxic in their hearts than Heath could ever have been. Lucky Heath- in that respect. Bless him on his journey- and many thanks.

Drug abusers,self-medication,are misunderstood,some of the best people I know get caught up in that cycle especially with under pressure careers,and not knowing how to cope with grief and loss,most keep thier depression covered up and feel to ashamed to ask for help,or have anyone to talk to,and the ones they need to talk to most aren't available and not so called friends.Most of these stars die alone,because they are alone if anyone is to blame it is our humanity and selfishness to care about our own human kind.Maybe even our families,God forbid if anyone knew the really us. Blessed Be Heath,and may u rest in peace and may we whom are still here can be here for help not hell!!!!!

alright to the person down south who says that heath "deserved" to die.. or the other person who says he commited suicide because of his friends, and he should never see his daughter.. you people are the ones who need help.. How dare you even say such things to a person who was a fabulous father, and a great man. Everyone has their issues, he may have had his fare share of drugs, but that does not make who he was. Everyone has their addictions, some just worse than others. If you say Heath deserved to die because he did drugs, than everyone deserves to die for their bad habits, and addictions. Don't you think that people who are having a hard time coping with the loss deserve better respect than that. A child has lost her father, the only father she's ever known and come to love, how could you say that he deserved this. That takes a heartless person to say. It's my believe that this was an accidental death, Heath may have been having a hard and rough time, but he would have never taken his own life. His daughter was his everything, you could tell that just by the way he looked at her. And no good parent would ever want to leave their children. I may have never gotten to personally meet Heath Ledger, but my heart still feels pain from his passing. I know he is in Heaven, and still watching over his daughter and family. I wish you all can just understand how rude and cruel it is to say such harsh comments, and who it affects. Please have respect. Rest in peace Heath.

Please people... These "Allah" freaks are most likely nothing but a bunch of teenage kids trying desperatly to be funny and get a reaction. No human could actually think like that except for maybe one thats hiding out in a cave somewhere in the middle east. The only thing these morons deserve is to be completley ignored, and maybe spanked by there mommies. As to the family of Heath Ledger... so sorry for your loss. It is truly a tragedy to have someone taken from you thats so young. No matter how he died, it's still a very sad loss. My condolences to you.
PEACE

Wow. This is the first time I have got on the internet to even look up Heath Ledger. I can not believe what i see. It is people like you why the entertainment world drink, do drugs and step over the ledge. All the gossip all the cameras 24/7, listening to you, i want to take a bottle of pills. I understand that if you choose that life you give up personal rights, people either like you or they don't. Fine. But when YOU are in your grave or bottled up somewhere on a mantel, i hope your family never has to hear or see the filth that spills over this grieving family. And to say you're glad that his daughter never gets to know her dad, well let's just hope her mother and family keeps her from meeting people like you.

Hey Allah Bit tifi wela bit tibla'ee

Rejoice in the Death of the filthy, drug-addicted swine, ledger. His kind pass unlamented, having chosen drugs and self-indulgence over life and service to Allah, the One True Ruler of All.

I feel for his family and in years to come the heavy burden his death will cause his young daughter. Second guessing the reason "why?" is useless. However, some of the angry, nasty people that have added comments here without really knowing him or his sadness would profit from therapy. Some express comments that reflect their own unhappy mixed up life. Get some therapy and get a life!( Some of the most sound thinking folk I know have had counselling at some time in their life.) But first recognize the need! Hatred is never appropriate at the time of death. Threats of violence to the innocent are really reflections of psychosis. I did not know him but wish he had not died. And accept that he did.
