What more can follow?

Oh, it's true. I thought it was a joke, but google proved otherwise. They found pills near the body.

The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.

At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building 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 Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near body.

Mr. Ledger, a native of Perth, Australia, won acclaim for his role as a co-star in “Brokeback Mountain”, a 2005 film. The film, based on a short story by Annie Proulx about two cowboys who fall in love, won critical acclaim. Reviewing the film in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden wrote, “Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”

Probaly got creeped out after he filmed Brokeback Mountain. Or maybe it's a curse.

He comes back alive and stars in Brokeback Mountain 2?

no way! i am shocked! wasn't he dating the blonde from dawson's creek?

they split up last year. they had a child whose age and gender i can't recall.

Lines from cowboy movies that will never be the same after Brokeback:

-Reach for it, pardner.

-Ride 'em, cowboy!

heard about it last night, had no idea who they were talking about, until they said he was in the "brokeback mountain"... iirc, the pills they found near him were the prescription ones. could it be an overdose? they are supposed to perform an autopsy today

A masseuse? Huh?

Wow. First Bobby Fischer and now this!

This has ZERO effect on my life...

shouldn't this make you stop and ponder stuff?

Only if you buy into the lie of the Goyeshe materialistic society....

I already know that fame and fortune don't buy happiness and that many people who society claims "has everything", really has nothing to live for and is in essence a walking corpse....
This is no chidush at all to me....

Fame and fortune are a good thing to have, it is not anti-Jewish to have them or to work towards them.

They are what HaShem promised Avraham Avinu, so they cant be bad in and of themselves.

NEW YORK (AP) - Tests on a rolled-up $20 bill found near Heath Ledger's bed detected no drug residue, the NYPD said Wednesday.

Discovery of the bill had raised the prospect that Ledger might have been snorting drugs, but the negative test diminished that possibility. A preliminary autopsy on Ledger's body Wednesday was inconclusive.

Authorities found six different types of prescription drugs in Ledger's apartment, including 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

Ditto, and the only thing I know about that movie is from the bunny version:

I think I saw "Ten Things I Hate About You," but I don't remember anything about it except that it was an enjoyable and forgettable movie.

He had the lead in "Ten Thing I Hate About You", and the movie was enjoyable. See http://youtube.com/watch?v=wWV7LWyTFQM
I had no idea who he was, all the news kept saying is that he played in "Brokeback" and left off all of his other works... which were all better!
