Maybe he was smoking to much crack - Reports say he was suffering from pneumonia.

I heard they were over the counter sleeping pills, and that he was found in Mary Kate Olsen's apartment. Who knows what the truth of the matter is.......another Michael Hutchence for all we know? (oh, another Aussie too

)

That there is enough reason to take a bottle of sleeping pills.

If you wanna see a great Aussie film with him starring...check out 'Two hands'. It's a fantastic film!

I actually think it's kinda sad about Heath. I'm hoping it wasn't an OD, sucks if it was. You have so much when you get to a place where he was at with a career like that, then it's all gone in a poof (no real pun). tis a sad shame, and I hope it wasn't self inflicted.

Do find something interesting tho, when Jack Nicholson played the Joker, he was as high as a kite, reportedly. To the point where I don't think that smile was always makeup. Jack, nearly topped himself by OD after finishing that Batman film, now Heath has just finished playing the same part but harder (looks awesome), and actually does die.. harsh

wasn't that a case of auto erotic asphyxiation gone wrong? he was the guy who was hanging from the closet door, right?

Just watched Broke back again the other night. Aside from the manlove its a fine bit of film work and a well told story.
The world of acting will be poorer for his passing.

NEW YORK - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence in a possible drug-related death, police said. He was 28.

According to WNBC, Ledger was found with pills strewn all around him.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment believed to be his home. The housekeeper, who went to let Ledger know the masseuse was there, found him unconscious at approximately 3:30 p.m. ET, according to the New York Times. After receiving no response from the actor after shaking him, they called authorities.

Absolutely gutted as he was an awesome actor and had a smile that just melted my bitter n twisted heart. Just goes to show that just cos you appear to have everything you are not always happy.

Maybe next time before we bitch or are nasty to another we should think twice and say something supportive and kind instead!! You never know it just might help.

Sympathies are with his little girl, she must be devastated.
