TMZ reporting that the cops saying it was accidental.

The prescription drugs being strewn around makes me wonder, though....and they are also saying this is NOT Mary Kate's apartment.

How even more incredibly heartbreaking if it was accidental...

Okay, it sounds like defamer.com has everything wrong, to include who owns the apartment and an intentional overdose. How would one ever know, though??

My friend lives around the corner from him and says the paparazzi are out of control and the police are having a tough time handling them.

OMG NO WAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
just in time for his new movie too!!!!

 

[michelle]

They are getting ready to bring him out now.

We just watched "10 Things" just recently, we just love that movie...my daughter is just inconsolable, ya'll. She is still bawling.

TMZ now reporting a friend of Ledger says he did have a substance abuse problem but has been clean for a year.

How very tragic!

To "have it all" and have it all end so soon!

I just can't get over this.

That is no surprise, they do not cut any breaks.:loser:

What happened to his brother??? Same thing? How terrible for their parents.

Joaquin Phoenix's brother was River Phoenix, popular actor from the 80s who died in 1993 of a drug overdose. Very sad that this happens so often

I guess the first photo could mean big $$$. Geez...

from a ny times article: link
“Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he [heath ledger] said. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.” One night he took an Ambien, which failed to work. He took a second one and fell into a stupor, only to wake up an hour later, his mind still racing.


Known as a consummate professional, I doubt he would purposely throw two productions into chaos: The Dark Knight (which is in post-production) and the new Terry Gilliam flick (which has been filming for a few weeks). I suspect it was an accidental overdose.

I am in absolute shock, I cannot believe this.

His new movie Dark Knight it just about to be released.

GOBSMACKED.

Sad to say that you are probably going to have to have a very frank talk with her very soon. She will probably be asking questions.

TMZ now reporting a friend of Ledger says he did have a substance abuse problem but has been clean for a year.

CNN is running a banner that the pills found were over the counter sleeping pills.

 

[pedinurse]

This is so sad.

Now Winehouse arrested and taken to rehab?

 

[Dark Knight]

Yahoo! News says that he had a massage appointment this afternoon at his apartment and when she arrived is when he was found dead. Doesn't sound like someone contemplating suicide, but who knows?

What a shock. Lord be with his daughter and maye he RIP.
