This is very sad. I have enjoyed watching him in many roles. The first movie I ever saw him in was, "10 Things I Hate About You". "Roar" was another early role I liked him in. That was a short lived show. Several others as well. Edit: One news report said he was found in the apartment of Mary Kate Olsen. No confirmation on that or about the drugs part, or if they were ilicit drugs. |

I enjoyed him in "The Patriot". I'm so sorry to hear he passed away. The news was all over the cable channels last night. There's going to be a lot of speculation as to how this promising young actor died. RIP Heath Ledger. Does anyone know if he finished shooting "The Dark Night"? |

I believe I read yesterday that filming had been completed.
There is mention now that the drug found by him was "Ambien", which I'm sure most of you know is a prescription medication that helps you sleep. I found these comments by him in an interview very interesting...
Source His death screams accidental to me at this point, but its still hard to say without more information. |

I first noticed Heath Ledger in "Roar" as well -- another series that had potential but was cut too short. His death at such a young ages is tragic. |

Most definitely. However, whenever that happens and one of the stars goes on to do bigger and better projects, I am usually glad the show was cancelled. Or at least, not terribly sorry. You never know if they would have taken the same path if it hadn't happened. The same thing happened to Jessica Alba. After Dark Angel was cancelled, she went on to do a lot of movies. |

Btw, I read the other day that the Westboro Church of Hate plans to protest at Ledger’s memorial service because of his roll in Brokeback Mountain. For those of you who aren’t familiar with that "church," they like to protest at military funerals. I think what they do is despicable. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,324966,00.html |

The official word is that it was an accidental prescription drug overdose... He had taken a combination of five prescription drugs (two pain relievers, Valium, Xanax and Restoril), and one over the counter sleeping aid at the same time. Ledger's death highlights prescription drug issues |

I'm speechless. I'm mortified. Xanas, Valium, Restoril PLUS an over the counter sleeping aid. *sigh* |

Didn't anyone ever tell these folks in church that God is more about love and acceptance and forgiveness than about exclusion and prejudice? |

Apparently not. I think its more a matter of their "leader" leading them astray. |
