JoeyN Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 It was first reported on TMZ, but I just saw the special report on the local ABC news. He died in his apartment here in NYC. No cause has been said yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 It's being reported on CNN's main news site now as well.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretster Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Romier needs a new avatar and sig now. That fucking sucks though, was always a fan of his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris The Rock Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Wow, such a shame. He will be greatly missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 If anything his death will keep the avatar and sig in my profile that much longer. At the very end of the day if The Dark Knight is as good as it looks then at the very least Heath ended his career on a high note and it does indeed fucking suck to see such a talented actor die in the mere beginnings of a truly promising career.

General Zot Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 WTF? Drugs? ?!? This is a real shock, the guy was just coming into his own as a fine actor. What a surprise and a real bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 If it was drugs, I feel no sympathy. But he was a dang fine actor and was poised to reach the upper heights of Hollywood stardom with The Dark Knight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 The question will no doubt be asked so it's worth mentioning that filming on The Dark Knight apparently ended in November. Despite that, there's no telling how it will effect post-production (if at all). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 ABC 7 our local news said its a possible drug death. Sleeping pills of some sort found in the apartment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dienekes96 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm very sad for the loss of Heath Ledger. He'd already been nommed for a GREAT turn in Brokeback Mountain, and with the Joker he was set for major stardom. This is very sad news.

fretster Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Between him and Mitch Hedberg these last few years have been unkind to those who were finally finding their place. If you don't know who Hedberg is, shame Youtube him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 He was found in his apartment "surrounded by pills," according to reports on ABC news. Goddamn. What a freaking WASTE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Brad Renfro recently passed away at 25 thanks to a rumored drug related death as well. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22671919/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHiL Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sad to hear... But Batman was his last movie its a fine way to go.. However No One deserves to Die that young with there entire life still ahead of them. Before jumping to any conclusion we'll all just have to wait to see what the coroners report will say if it was the pills he died from or something else.

Lutter Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Perhaps he had some personal problems no one knew about but himself? "Surrounded by pills" sounds more like suicide to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretvampire Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Perhaps he had some personal problems no one knew about but himself? He did split with his wife a few months ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 The thing is, the "surrounded by pills" line could have just been uttered by a cop in haste having to deal with the press. The fact that he leaves behind a 2 year old daughter is the real sad news, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 This is absolutely dreadful news. I can't believe it... He's not long been a father has he? Absolutely awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 My girlfriend just told me on the phone about 15 minutes ago, and I'm still pretty shocked. Of course no one knows what happened yet, but I would have never thought he'd kill himself. I guess we'll see but this sucks for sure.

Angry the Clown Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Almost two years I think Dan. Yes I thought it was about two or three years ago now. Terrible. I literally had to read the headline twice when I came online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Anyone know how big his part was in the Terry Gilliam movie shooting now? Not to be flip, or to lessen the impact of this young man's death, but Gilliam can't seem to catch a break as a movie maker lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
