I woke up this morning to horrific news of the death of Heath Ledger ...
My heart is still beating in disbelief ... he was young and successful ... he was working on a huge project; The Joker in the upcoming Batman movie ... but, death as come for him ...
New York police confirmed that Heath was found dead in his Manhattan residence yesterday.
The cause of death? Not sure yet, police says that two bottles of prescription sleeping pills were near his body, but the autopsy on his body will be performed today and that should determine the cause of death. Both suicide and foul-play are extremes!
His publicist Mara Buxbaum released a statement last night: (She called his death an accident)
"We are deeply saddened and shocked by this accident. This is an extremely difficult time for his loved ones. We're asking the media to please respect the family's privacy and avoid speculation until the facts are known."
Rest in Peace ...
Keep coming back for updates on this tragic event ...

UPDATE:

NEW YORK (AP) — Six different types of prescription drugs were found in Heath Ledger's apartment — including anti-anxiety medications and sleeping pills — though the cause of his death won't be known for several days after a preliminary autopsy Wednesday was inconclusive, authorities said.
A rolled-up $20 bill was also found on the floor near the Australian actor's bed, but lab tests detected no traces of drug residue. Police also said no illegal drugs were found in the apartment.
Among the prescription medications found were pills to treat insomnia and anxiety, and an antihistamine, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Three of the drugs were prescribed in Europe, the sources said.
The $20 bill was found on the floor near Ledger's bed, and New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said lab tests found nothing to indicate it had been used to snort drugs..."
- this would cancel out the possibility of him being under the influence of drugs.
Please people, how can you judge the death of a person from a picture?! Stupid really.
Looking rough doesn't mean that you are under drugs. In the case of Heath, it could easily be because he was very tired and drained both physically and mentally by his role of the Joker... let's not forget - he wasn't really keen with the idea of paparazzi following him wherever he goes...which is why he doesn't pose. He's just a human like all of us.
I wish people would view their opinions based on true and solid facts!
