Oh cruel cruel world! Not my Ennis....NOT MY ENNIS!!! It's breaking news, his boy was found in a New York apartment, details of how he died have not been released yet. I request a week of Garden mourning, ALL banners in loving memory of Heath, all pictures of him, with one picture staying until I get over it! Which may not be for a long time considering his last movie The Dark Knight will be released in a few months. Oh Heath....

This is such a shocker! For so many other celebrities it would have been less of a shocker. I found more here, but it's speculation I guess at this stage. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/...-is-found-dead/ Also loads of nice comments under this article. I agree Jesse we should commemorate him, Brokeback was such a big part of Garden discussion. |

Shit dude I couldn't believe it I just saw in on the news a few mintes ago. They're saying it was sleeping pills but weither it was deliberate or not they don't know. But it is unusual for males to commit suicide in a non violent manner. |

how can you accidently overdose on sleeping pills? you take them how they are prescribed. Even if you take a few more than that I doubt you would die. People abuse sleeping pills like crazy. I just feel sorry for his daughter if he did do it. What a selfish person. She will grow up to not know her father and have to learn about him second hand. All I know is they better still put out the new Batman. They can edited like they did when Brandon Lee died (THE CROW) or Aaliyah(QOTD). I need to see it! |

6:02 Headline news: His role as the Joker was so troubling and demonic to him that he had trouble sleeping at night. "physically and mentally draining" "i took one ambien and it didnt work. i took a second and i fell asleep only to wake up an hour later." -rough quote from an interview about being the joker |

It wasn't perscription sleeping pills it was over the counter pills like Tylenol PM or something which is actually very easy to overdose on and die even more so than perscription. The thing with sleepin pills is that your body gets used to it so to get the same affect you have to take more and the Tylenol/acetaminophen if you take even just a little too much it will kill you. |

Which makes it sadder. I sign out of my yahoo email and sometimes I quickly glance over the yahoo news page and I see "Heath ledger Found Dead" in bold letters I'm all yeah right, f*ck off :( Overdose on sleeping pills WTF!? Wonder if it was intentional... Either way, very very sad. Ugh. I want definate answers. Which ya always do when someone passes... OH HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATH, what did ya do? :( *shakes head* and so if these sleeping pills were the ones Erin said, you can get then over the f*cking counter? They sound much too strong to be available over the counter, whoever made that rule or non-rule more like it GOOD ON YA Yeah yeah you take your own responsibility blah blah But c'mon if a medication is that intense and can easily go wrong Make it so it can only be gotten by prescription, with the doctors guidance and advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whatever heavens, gods, goddesses, places there is after here I hope Heath is at peace. |

Michelle Williams is "devastated" by the death of her former fiance, Heath Ledger. We're told that "words cannot describe" the pain she is in over the news about the father of her child, Matilda Rose. We're told she is on a plane heading to NY right now. gah, can you imagine? |

Heath asked about being a parent he said: "I guess you're forced into kind of respecting yourself more, you learn more about yourself through your child, I guess," he told WJW FOX in Cleveland, Ohio. "You also look at death differently. "It's like a catch 22. I feel good about dying now because I feel like I'm alive in her. "But at the same time, you don't want to die because you want to be around for the rest of her life." That main banner is beautiful! Whomever made it

The New York Times has a bit more information ... they are the first to allude to possible suicide and they reveal that the apartment that Heath was found in is owned by Mary-Kate Olsen BUT TMZ is reporting that the apartment is not owned by MK or related to her in any way: The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment in Manhattan inhabited by the actress Mary-Kate Olsen, according to the New York City police. Signs pointed to a suicide, police sources said. Mr. Ledger was 28. At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building, at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of the bedroom Mr. Ledger was in. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed, with pills scattered around his body. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play. Officials said they believed Ms. Olsen, 21, was in California and said it was not clear how long or why Mr. Ledger had been in her apartmet.We're also told it appeared Heath "had been dead for a while" and there were no visible signs of trauma. There was a pill bottle on the nightstand. |
