MERGED--> Heath Ledger Found Dead?!?

[2861U2]

For what it's worth ... someone already mentioned Brad Renfro, but there was also Suzanne Pleshette.

You're right.

Not a good week

 

[U2democrat]

I was hanging out with my friends when someone came into the living room and said "Heath Ledger died!"

We all thought she was joking, and demanded that she show us where she saw the news.


When we realized it was true everyone just got quiet.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

I am just completely stunned by this news... wow.. I just can't wrap my head around this.. wow.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Wow. Every now and then I read a headline and immediately go numb, and this one did that to me. I absolutely can't believe this news. How sad. He was such a talented actor.

 

[strwrsjedi_08]

i believe they said it was sleeping pills...

 

[BonosBaby12]

Will take a long time for many to accept what has happened. Just absolutely unbelievable.....

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

apparently according to tmz.com this was the last picture taken of him.. He was working on a film in london.

 

[BonosBaby12]

He looks happy in that picture. Never know what lies underneath a smile though.

 

[U2democrat]

Everytime I see a photo he looks so youthful and alive...and I still don't want to believe he's gone.

 

[Muldfeld]

I just saw this report on The Newshour with Jim Lehrer. I don't know anything about him personally, but everything was going so well for him in his artistic career. How sad.

On a selfish note, this really screws up any Batman sequels in which they hoped to have The Joker.

 

[Muldfeld]

He was found in Mary Kate Olson's apartment according to the news websites.

Please tell me that's not true. What terribly tacky company if true.

 

[U2democrat]

Mary Kate's agent or whatever denies it was her apt.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Holy shit.

 

[AngelofHarlem01]

It's very eerie the interview with the New York Times where he discussed only being able to sleep a couple hours a night since taking on the Joker role. If it was sleeping pills as they're saying it could very well be accidental with him just increasing the dose so significantly to see what would knock him out so that he could get some sleep.

It's an incredibly huge/sad loss.

[U2democrat]

As with every unexpected, untimely death it really puts life into perspective.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Please tell me that's not true. What terribly tacky company if true.

yes 'cause that's what's really important... that he died in tacky company.

[luna_lovegood]

Shit. I am in shock...this is really horrible news. What a tragic way to end such a talented man's life. He was truly an incredible actor, and he was only 28. This is a huge and tragic loss ... my heart goes out to his little girl and family ...

 

[theFly51]

no!!

 

[Lila64]

Oh Christ, thanks for making me bawl me eyes out.

Me too :

 

[Night & Day]

Please tell me that's not true. What terribly tacky company if true.

That statement was retracted at about 3:15, MKO owns an apartment at the same place.

It makes me so sad how quickly something this upsetting can turn ugly with all the paparazzi and rags out there beating up whatever scandal they can. I don't feel like it's any of my business to know the hows or whys about this. It's completely sad and I feel for his family and friends so much, especially because it doesn't seem like they're going to be able to deal with this in peace. I feel like watching "10 Things I Hate About You" and remembering him in the best possible way, not with the horrific blow-by-blows they're doing on this tragedy on some Web sites.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Horrible news.

A prayer for him and his family.

I agree. I feel terrible for his family that they wont be able to deal with this privately. It must be horrible living that much in the public eye. The media machine can be truly cruel. This is just horrible. What tragic news to start my morning with

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I was at the gym when I saw this on the news.

I can't believe the paparazzi - actually, I can, but whatever.

I immediately thought of his little girl.

 

[thankyou]

What a loss of great talent. I feel really sorry for his little girl Matilda. This is truly very sad news. RIP.

 

[Acrobat Angel]

This is so sad. Thoughts go to his family, friends and especially his little daughter.

RIP Heath

 

[JCOSTER]

OMG, he was soooo young, what a tragedy for him and his young daughter.

a real shocker.
