      wow, um I used to think you had all the info first, but during this whole ordeal you have been hours late with the information.

      RIP HEATH, I'm wearing my lords of dogtown shirt for you.

    24. Chloe says – reply to this


      24

      Of course it did. I have a feeling Heath tragically died by accident.

      Stupid media rushing to conclusions. UGH

    25. aussie says – reply to this


      25

      He was only on medication for anxiety. Combined with medications for insomnia, he may have slept in an awkward position and smothered himself. He did not mean to end his life, only to quiet the demons for a little while. Rest in the peace you never found, Heath, and thank you for all you gave us.

      27

      Good.

      We all jump to conclusions these days. Seems most celebs are addicted to something weather drugs, attention or booze. So naturally we jump to conclusions and not wait for the truth. I am glad, at least for the moment, it isn't drug related.

      Heath was an amazing talent and should be remembered as such!

    28. isabella says – reply to this


      28

      of course not… RIP Heath… we love you…as someone else said… thanks for all you gave us… such feeling in every performance… you made me feel it too. I enjoyed it all.

      Leave Perez alone. Stop being so offensive & crude…please.
      This world has enough shit for us to go on & hate.
      Besides, if you haters hate Perez then why come on here?
      oh..I get it..your "jobs" are spreading evil shit on the planet.
      Grow up & curb youselves.

      33

      Please Perez don't let this rest with John Gibson… he needs to go for his callous comments, and the way he made fun of someone's death. Please follow up on this, and print what news you get on this s.o.b.

    34. Norman says – reply to this


      34

      I think he was killed

    35. Hello says – reply to this


      35

      Is it more important the death of an actor than all the lives that have been taken, lets say in places like iraq? We are talking children as little as days old, people that the only thing they did wrong was to be born in the "wrong" country.
      I do feel very sorry for Heath Ledger's death but I can't avoid thinking how disproportionate is the media coverage.
      I think Ledger himself would have found this outrageous, he was a person with an important social conscience and I'm sure wherever he is he is not liking this phenomena and speculation. "America" is killing people on a daily basis, simply for oil interests and no one bats an eyelid…. And of course goverments love this. it proves to them that they can do anything, because we are morons…. Sick

      I WORKED ON THE SET OF BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN AND ILL NEVER FORGET WORKING WITH HEATH. HE WAS THE NICEST MOST DOWN-TO-EARTH GUY YOU COULD IMAGINE. ILL NEVER FORGET HOW AS SOON AS HE WOULD FINISH HIS SHOTS HE WOULD GO TO HIS TRAILER AND GET A CIGARETTE AND A COKE BOTTLE FILLED WITH BROWN LIQUID THAT HAD A BALLOON ON TOP. HE WOULD THEN GO OFF BY HIMSELF INTO THE WOODS WITH THAT CIGARETTE AND BOTTLE AND BE GONE FOR HOURS. ILL NEVER FORGET THAT IMAGE OF HIM, CIG IN ONE HAND AND THAT STRANGE COKE BOTTLE IN THE OTHER

      Re: Pedro – YOU ARE SUCH A PRICK!!! What a pathetic way to get your rocks off. I wouldn't be surprised to find that you are part of that freaky religious group who are threatenting to picket any memorial event held for Heath. GET STUFFED!!!

      RE: PEDRO

      What in the world could he possibly do with a cigarette, coke bottle and balloon??? Seriously- call me naive, but I really have no clue about this. Having a coke and letting a balloon fill up with smoke???

      Anyway, this whole is so eerie and scary to me. I am taking the same prescriptions he has been said to have taken (sleeping pills, anxiety/anti-depressants, etc).

      Great. Now I'm up at 3:30 a.m., to afraid of falling asleep and accidentally smothering myself to death.

      Never was a huge fan of his. Regardless, Insomnia, Anxiety and Depression really suck. Thank God every day and night if you have none of these issues to deal with. They literally kill your soul and eventually, body and mind….. RIP Heath.

      ARELVIS
      I have been on some of the same presc meds for a while and they did not do good at all. It took me a year to get clean of them and while I was on them I ended up having no feelings, just like a robot. They work but at what price? for me nothing has worked better than therapy.
      It's awful the amount of people that die on prescription meds and somehow natural remedies that work are being banned on the basis of some anecdotal data…. Are the labs that produce these pills going to be held responsable, NO.

      44

      god damn it mario- you are going too far with the passing of Ledger. You mourn out of one side of your face and bring up salacious unsubstantiated rumors from the other. Will you now print a retraction for the earlier posts made brandishing him as a druggie? Probably not- that would involve having a heart and a conscious.

      Just let his family be. Don't dredge up gossip purely for the sake of being first. Maybe in the end this can be written up as something more than just a horrible and untimely ACCIDENT, but until then, remember that there is a family grieving. Some responsibility with your words wouldn't be such a bad thing.

      Re: Pedro – That's a very common way to drink Coke in Australia. I've seen Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts drink their sodas like that. It has something to do with the carbonated air in the beverage which fills up the balloon and leaves a more flavorful essence of Coke in the bottle. I think Perez did an excellent job of siphering through the media hoopla to get to the truth. The rolled up Twenty dollar bill belonged to MKO and that's why she sent her "people" over to case the joint. There was nothing wrong with the money….although it has been rumored that MKO has been distributing counterfeit bills accross the country, just for fun.

      46

      Mixing medications can be dangerous. And who knows, he may of had an underlying heart condition? I don't believe for one minute he was a 'drug' user, I think it was just a sad, tragic accident. He was so beautiful, Australia has lost such a talented soul….

      Re: OSCARBUZZ –
      What??? are you joking? nobody drinks coke like that…what a load of bullshit.

      My condolences to his family , Michelle and Matilda. He was one of the good role models we don't see anymore. Fame never went to his head. Rest in Peace, Heath. We will miss you.

    49. db says – reply to this

      That's a small headline you fat fuck. Especially, after you have already accused him of doing illegal drugs from night one and that was the cause of his death.

      RIP HEATH!! YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY AND GOD BLESS HIS FAMILY= )

      51

      You should have waited posting all the speculation on the "drugs" in the house and waited for this information. Try posting a respectful article about Heath without adding your own personal speculation. RIP Heath…we don't believe what Perez says.

    52. mikah says – reply to this


      52

      I am so glad to hear that he only died of a heart problem instead of drug overdose or suicide now he can really rest in peace the way god intended we will all miss him dearly

    53. Aussie says – reply to this


      53

      Of course it did.. Have a little faith in him.. He was a great actor and seemed like a wonderful person and father to Matilda. He was a true Aussie - I wish his family and friends peace at this cruel time.

      THANKS FOR THE OLD NEWS!

      Wow, if there was any doubt before, your coverage of the Heath Ledger story has confirmed it. PEREZ, YOU ARE OVER. You're site has truly become boring, weak, and lazy. Hire some writers. You're slippin' sweetheart.

      One less loser, so what? Who ever even saw him in a movie? There are plenty more actors waiting for parts anyway.

      Why doesn't everyone go back and read the previous posts Perez wrote about Heath Ledger before he died. (look at starseeker on the left) All he did was talk shit about him and call him ugly, scary, and boring. NOW he is talking about how this is SO SAD. You make money off people's deaths. I hope you feel bad about how you talk shit about everyone and I hope when you die, Perez, there is a parade in the streets. I will lead it.

      Lot's of pills can be snorted. My friend and I used to snort the sleeping pill "Sonota" for a dreamy sort of high. Illegal = Irrelevant. Perscription drugs can kill. My friend I used to snort Sonota with is now dead from an accident that happened while under the influence. An empty bottle of Sonota was found in his NYC apartment.

      It was pretty funny to listen to Perez scold John Gibson this morning on the M&J show because he said something inappropriate about Heath Ledgers death. C'mon Perez you have been been making money off the misfortune of people for years. Glass houses and all jackass.

    63. gina says – reply to this


      63

      If Michelle had stayed with him and supported him like she should have done Heath would still be alive today. She pushed him into depression and death. Of course now she will cry for the world to see. What a selfish sad woman.

      Re: mark – If a person is thought to be ugly, boring & scary & then dies, it could be sad that he died but why shold that change the person's previous opinion????

    66. Mabel says – reply to this


      66

      his death was a surprise but shocking????? people do die but anyone obsessed with celebrity (everybody here who screamed "OMG! OMG! OMG!" & "I am deeply sad & cant eat",,,etc) seem to think famous people are above dying. it was the same with the Princess Diana reaction which is now just embarrassing. anyway, Heath will be forgotten soon enough (except by his real grievers, his family & friends) because there are lots of other celebrities around for the obsessed to cling on to & pretend they know them personally.

      Yeah, we all have rolled up "suspicious" bills just hanging around for no reason? Come on….

    70. wf godot says – reply to this


      70

      Tragic and poignant, this sad tale; Heath Ledger even foreshadowed his demise to the extent that he seems, à la Shakespearean drama, a tragic hero: "It’s like a Catch 22 – I feel good about dying now because I feel like I’m alive in her," he said of his young daughter. Absolutely no hyperbole in that statement. What's there is self-recognition, and love, and wisdom, a wisdom gained in a very short time on this earth. Instances like this underscore the vapidness of following the antics of Brit, LiLo, Poshy, et al., and point us toward what really matters in this life. (End of sermon!)

      I knew there wouldn't be. Everyone keeps trying to make this a Typical Tragic Hollywood Death… that's not the kind of person Heath was!! Its just so SAD!

      Yeah…..how about confirming your sources before you print bullshit like you former accusation that there were drugs scattered all over Heath's apartment. By the way, Perez, is Castro still dead?

      If it came back negative, it's a bill in a distinct minority: "The vast impact cocaine has on the US can be illustrated by the fact that…most $20 bills have cocaine residue on them from having passed through part of the cocaine process at some time in its monetary exchange life." (WikiAnswers)

      76

      No one will find any illegal drugs. The Olsen twit's security removed everything. Why do you think Olsen was called before 911? They wanted Heath to look good in death.

      Okay, seriously- just stop trying to make him look like a junkie when it's not true.
      His death is sad enough without trying to sensationalise the whole thing.

      No illegal drug residue. Do you think he was snorting his prescription ?

      RE: cheyenne - What the fuck would you know? How stupid can you be? Just stop the fucking speculation, because NOBODY KNOWS WHETHER HEATH'S DEATH WAS DRUG-RELATED. For all we know, it could have had bugger-all to do with his prescription meds.

      People like you make me sick. I'd kick you in the teeth if I saw you.
