I think he killed himself, yeah. Its so sad. He had a daughter and now she has no father
He must have taken a huge dose of sleeping pills or something.

It was thought that Mary-Kate Olsen may have owned the apartment he was living in... But it's not true

It would have to be accidental, I didn't think he was a known drug user? Amy Winehouse will be next

I just got this from a Perez Hilton, it really does sound accidental?

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/04/movies/moviesspecial/04lyal.html - This article from The New York Times published just two months ago shed a new light on the untimely death of Heath Ledger:

“I stressed out a little too much,” Mr. Ledger said.

He tends to do that. He is here in London filming the latest episode of the “Batman”franchise, “The Dark Knight.” (Mr. Bale, as it happens, plays Batman; Mr. Ledger plays the Joker.) It is a physically and mentally draining role — his Joker is a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” he said cheerfully — and, as often happens when he throws himself into a part, he is not sleeping much.

“Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he 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.

Even as he spoke, Mr. Ledger was hard-pressed to keep still. He got up and poured more coffee. He stepped outside into the courtyard and smoked a cigarette. He shook his hair out from under its hood, put a rubber band around it, took out the rubber band, put on a hat, took off the hat, put the hood back up. He went outside and had another cigarette. Polite and charming, he nonetheless gave off the sense that the last thing he wanted to do was delve deep into himself for public consumption. “It can be a little distressing to have to overintellectualize yourself,” is how he put it, a little apologetically.

Whether accident or suicide it's a complete tragedy...as I said on the other thread...the second actor in the space of about a week, though the other was suicide...still....

Family confirms it was not suicide...he had pneumonia and was trying to get rest and must have accidently overdosed.

I have sleeping pills, & never take more than 1/2 a pill at a time & no more than 3 in a row in a week. WHY OH WHY WOULD HE?!!? He was found naked & facing down, I don't get it!!!! It would be easier to comprehend if it was a car accident, but when it comes down to him ODing on sleeping pills..... my mind is working overtime to understand.

So sad seeing his body being taken away .

Oh yeah, I shed a tear then... I'm finding it quite hard to comprehend, I guess because he was all alone, he was sick, he had a child...and it's so close to home.

I can't believe it.

Unfortunately when people take medicines frequently they start thinking well one more won't hurt. But it does

It's just so awful.

Ohhh his family are making a statement on Sky news... I've got goosebumps... Apparently his sister was supposed to be going to see him.

I know!! It's really annoying me that people are automatically saying suicide...he has done this before but not to the same scale...it is entirely possible it was an accident and to be honest...I think it was. I hate the speculation.

I must admit though, I'm finding this very much like when River Phoenix died, it's the same sort of shock of losing a young Hollywood actor in thier prime...too sad.

Just watching Today on Prime, sounds like the autopsy was inconclusive. Apparently his parents are on their way to NY.

Still very sad. Apparently Michelle Williams was in Sweden filiming. They aren't sure if she's in NY yet though.

He must have been so lonely
