Heath Ledger Died!

He's leaving a newborn child without a parent because of what will likely end up being a selfish choice - and there's nothing to respect in that. Granted we all have our own problems, but I don't sympathize with people who have it better than most and choose to blow it. They say he Od'd - whether or not it was intentional - it indicates a level of irresponsibilty with a controlled substance.

Im sure the life of an actor can be hard and ruff sometimes but ive seen countless actors still running trong today without drugs and stress..You wont see tom hanks or george cloony eating a bunch of pills cause they are stressed...They know they are blessed with the oppurtinity and talent to act...its all about how you use and they can afford tress management im assure, he was such a young...I remember him in "10 things i hate about you"
 
It wasnt suicide, you fuckers are being WAYYY too judgmental. If you knew anything about him you would know that he had been having a VERY hard time getting to sleep, and even taking 2 Ambien would only get him an hours worth of rest, so when they found him, what most LIKELY happened was that he was just trying to get some ******* sleep.

You are all right, yes, suicide is the most selfish and stupid thing a person can do, but this wasnt suicide - he was found nude with pills NEARBY, not scattered around the floor like some ******* pill junky. He has a daughter that is less than a year old - Im pretty damned sure that he had a good reason NOT to kill himself and that it wasnt intentional.

My sister in law takes a massive assortment of prescriptions for various things - all legit, by the way - and any wrong combination of them or slight excess could kill her. Hell, he could have had several meds for several reasons and accidentally ****** them up. Yes, he has had problems in the past with drugs and alcohol, but lets not be so quick to condemn the guy, shall we??

Try not to be so judgemental and self-*******-righteous, will ya?

i heard on the radio too that he had trouble getting to sleep, and the sleeping pills werent helping...

my condolences go out to his family...
 
not to get all philosophical, BUT.... I have battled suicide, irresponsibility, controlled substance abuse, illegal drug abuse, alcoholism, depression, insomnia, AD/HD and probably a thousand other "labels" that I just can't remember right now. When I was a kid, my parents used to use my friends against me. I remember the one time my mom said to me, "Think about how upset your friends would be if you did kill yourself." That one kept me in check for a good week. It didn't stop me from trying again, but it did delay it (attempts, obviously).

I used think that people were lying when they said that suicide never crossed their minds. It crossed mine all the time. Still does occasionally. Then I got in the habit of escape. Anything to take my mind off "reality" was worth atleast one try... more than not, it was used repeatedly. I remember a thought that always stopped me, I remember thinking, "If I do go through with this, than I'm chickening out, taking the easy way out." That worked for a while. But the ultimate epiphany was when I realized that life is just too ******* short to begin with.

I'm pushing 30 right now, while most people are well in their careers with spouses and kids and such, I'm still sitting here contemplating life. I hate saying this, and this is one of the few times I can, but unless thoughts of "checking out" have crossed your mind, you will not understand. I don't wish those thoughts on my most mortal of enemies. I personally don't know if there is anything after... I lack conclusive evidence to support either side. What I do know is that life is precious. And it goes by too fast. The human body can go through alot of trauma and pain, yet on the other hand, it is so easy for life to be snuffed out. Meanwhile, we are sooooo busy worrying about bills and cars and food and shelter and all these other things that we forget that as of right now, we are the only planet in a universe of billions of possible planets that has this thing we have termed life. Everything on this planet is unique. Sure, there are 6+ billion people, but as of right now (meaning pre-cloning) every person is still an individual. And regardless of the reasons, and regardless of kin and "responsibility" (a term I despise, yet I use loosely here), everyone faces their maker by themselves. If he made peace with his actions and had nothing else to offer to this world, than this death was not untimely. It is not our place to cry and b**** and moan and pout about "what could have been" or "think about his child". I don't mean to burst anyone's bubbles, but it is important to note that actors are human. We have stress and jealousy and love and anger and every other emotion that "normal" people have. The famous ones aren't necessarily rich, but they ARE always under the scrutiny of the media.

The real tragedy is that if he wasn't a super star, this thread wouldn't even be here. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who go through this same ordeal every single day and we never hear about it.

Sorry for this long post.... lol, but I'm wasted and all philosophical right now... death has this effect on me. lol don't even get me started on the war....
 
What I find amusing is most of you assume that he killed himself on purpose, which is ignorant in my opinion. Really, we don't know anything at this point other than he's dead and there were pills in his apartment. It's not as if everyone here has never done drugs before. Give a guy the benefit of the doubt before you bash. Let's wait on the autopsy report.

Actually, not everyone on here has done drugs, so please don't generalize. But I agree, the speculation that he did himself in is ludicrous. We'll know what happened when the autopsy is concluded.

Again, it is sad that he died so young and left behind his daughter. My prayers and thoughts to his family....
 
I doubt it was intentional. Didn't he have a massuse coming up to his place? If you were going to kill yourself, wouldn't you probably wait until AFTER your massage?

+1!

I feel bad for the guy... regardless of whether he took his own life or it was an accidental overdose, etc., it's still sad when a person dies so young and leaves a little one behind.

R.I.P.
