No NO it can't be. A stunning and talented actor.

Horrible.

What an incredibly sad thing. He was one of those "once in a generation" actors, like Brando.

 

[whirlcool]

The article states that it may have been drug related. I never heard of Heath being involved in that kind of stuff. I always thought of him being a "serious" actor with his eye on his craft.
Positively shocking!

 

[brettsomers]

i cant believe it!

Ledger was reported by friends to be struggling with depression and addiction. So sad. And kids, Amy Winehouse is probably going to be next. Crack, heroin and meth are bad, bad drugs, kids.

 

[appnut]

This is sad and hurts.

I feel most sad

for his daughter. He had a daughter with the actress from BBM.

As for his life, more, I am sure, will be revealed in the next few weeks/months.

A Lot Already Has Been...

It looks like Ledger's life wasn't what we might have imagined; there are already a lot of stories coming out about substance abuse.

I am reminded of something I've heard quite often in certain meeting rooms: "There is no problem that cannot be made worse by drugs and alcohol."

Really sad.

Very Shocked here in Oz

A lot of people here in Oz are very shocked, as are many around the world too. I thought it was a prank to begin with.

He was a very talented actor.

Cheers

Wow. I've never even heard of this person before. I had to do a search to find out who he is. It is sad that he died so young and with what seemed to be such promise.

 

[brettsomers]

perhaps his grief helped him with his emotional Brokeback performance?

his performance in BB seemed much more real than Gyllenhaal's IMO.

Evening shocker.

Just found out about this myself. Shocking and tragic. Although I'm curious myself, I wish the news people would not speculate on causes until investigation is done. All we know is that he had some sleeping pills on him, but so do a lot of people. My condolences to his family, in Perth, I believe. I enjoyed his work. I was/am looking forward to his version of "The Joker" in the next Batman movie.

Very sad......

I enjoyed him in BrokeBack, I do not watch movies all that much. Had never saw him in a movie before. <p> This clip was shared on another site...and thought you might enjoy it here.

I'm sitting here stunned. This is truly sad and shocking news. I feel really bad for his daughter. She'll not only have to grow up without a father, but she'll have no memory of him.

My thoughts and prayers and with his family and friends.

Mike

What a sad and horrible waste of talent and life in general.
Peace be unto you, Heath.

All the money, all the fame, all the fortune--and ALL THE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL "combined" seem to be a culprit with these types of folks. I really don't understand it.

This is sad, once again.
