Heath Ledger was found dead in his Soho home around 3:30 this afternoon. His housekeeper found him. NYPD say they don’t believe it was a crime…
OD? Suicide? Was he ill? Some sources are saying “possibly drug related”… we’ll find out soon.
He has a 2 year old daughter with his former fiance Michelle Williams. So sad!!

1So sad… They make a good living but in the end, the fame is just not worth having no privacy, and being driven to the point where you would want to take your own life.

3If it is drug related then I’m pissed he left his daughter behind! It seems so selfish!

9NY Post retracted the Mary Kate link. She reportedly owns another apartment in the complex, but not the one he was found in.

11He supposedly overdosed on sleeping pill because they found sprescription ones and over the counter ones by his bed. He also said before in an interview that the role of the Joker in the new Batman movie was stressful for him. He didnt sleep much, no more than 2 hours a night cause he lay awake in bed with his mind racing.
It’s very sad. He was a good actor and I couldnt wait for the Batman movie to come out.
Heartbreaking that his little girl is left behind

12I’m crushed. He was such a good actor in my opinion. My favorite is him in 10 Things I Hate About You. Although he didn’t do any teen flicks after that, he was great in it. Now I’ll be sad every time I watch it. I was looking forward to him in the Batman movie. Such a shame how sometimes actors are tormented by the roles they play. I wish he hadn’t taken the role so seriously or he might still be here. I feel so bad for Michelle and Matilda. Rest in Peace Heath.

14This just breaks my heart even more so because there is a little child involved whom has lost her Daddy. He always seemed like a really good Dad in pictures and all. I hope that the paps give Michelle and their families the privacy that they deserve. It needs to be taken in consideration since there is a child involved.

15its truly heart breaking
and what’s worse is the rumors and speculation over the entire subject. I know he’s famous and I know his death comes as a shock…but it doesn’t make him come back, it doesn’t make anything better.

16I think the rumors should stop because his daughter could look back in 10 years and see all this horrible stuff said about her dad. He is still a person and still has a family. I dont think the Olsen thing should have ever been said until it was confirmed…Same goes will the pill speculation. Until we know the facts nothing should be said. Its a horrible tragedy for his family and everyone deserves respect and privacy during this time.

17It’s really horrible that he is gone, but I think that his family just needs time to be alone right now… I saw footage on the news this morning and as his body was being removed from the building all you could see were flashing lights from photographers.
Sometimes it takes something really horrible for people to realize…
