New Details On Heath Ledger's Shocking Death!

Filed under: Heath Ledger

At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, 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 the body.

      I can't believe this. But the New York Times and MSNBC have articles on their website. Granted they were posted about twenty minutes after Perez's first. But I am just in shock. I feel like it is such a waste and a disappointment if drugs really do turn out as the culprit.

      this is a terrible thing to happen to such a talent. the industry has suffered a great loss. taking on such mentally and emotionally challenging roles can take a toll on a body. his personal life was flawed as well. its a huge loss and tragedy.

      I am just sick about it. I love Heath and his performance in Brokeback Mountain. He was obviously depressed about his marriage disolving and overdosed. I think it was an accident though.

      95

      WTF…He is from my home town. My bro went to school with him…I thought he had he shit together. Don't think it was drug use…I reakon it was depression. I loved him as an actor and as a Perth boy - he marched for environmental causes back here in Australia. Seriously I am stunned - this is a HUGE loss for Australia and thew international acting community..he was well on his way to be one of a few of his generation….thoughts go out to his family.

      I live in Perth, and I just woke up to hear this news. My husband went to school with Heath. We even got married at the school's chapel last year. Perth, and Guildford Grammar School were all very proud of their home grown talent, and I'm sure I will hear about it on the news all day. My heart is with his little girl, and his family. RIP.

      When I woke up today, if someone had told me "a young celebrity is gonna die today," Heath Ledger wouldn't have even come to mind. I guess you can't tell what someone is like based solely on appearances. My deepest condolences to his family, especially his daughter.
