This is so sad. He was so young and talented. RIP heath.
this is so sad,such a waste of a young life. i remember growing up and to be an actress or actor was such a glamorous thing. it's a shame that now it's associated with drug overdoses and people losing their children because they can't deal with life. our society is really going down the toilet. maybe we should start focusing our energy on things that really matter in the world. just think what we could do!
How really sad - quite shocking too. I thought he had it all together.

CNN is reporting it was over the counter sleeping pills they found near his body. Tragic -he did have a sort of haunted look in his eyes. He was a fine actor. RIP, Ennis.
That is so sad! I feel so bad for his daughter!
….yet Brittney lives on, go figure……………
….yet Brittney lives on, go figure……………
That really sad. My thoughts go out to his ex-wife and daughter.
:(
wow. thats so crazy.
R.I.P Heath Ledger
this is ridiculous and so sad rip xxx
Everyone is assuming that the man was a drug abuser. It said they found a bottle of pills is all. Perhaps because Michelle and Matilda recently left him it was intentional. Or maybe there were other factors involved. Don't just assume he OD'd from partying.
SHIT HEAD PEREZ IT WASNT EXCLUSIVELY TO PEREZ IT ALL OVER YAHOO AND EVERWHERE DON FEEL SPECIAL FAT FUCK FAGIT
How sad for him and his child and former fiancee.
RIP
JUST BECAUSE HE TOOK PILLS DOESN'T MEAN HE'S A USER… RETARDS THAT COME ON THIS SITE!!!!!
WHY CAN'T THE ANNOYING CELEBRITIES LIKE PARIS AND LOHAN DROP DEAD INSTEAD OF THESE AMAZING ACTORS!!!!
RIP Heath. You went too soon.
I've heard it was in one of the Olsen twins appartments
omg!! RIP HEATH!!!
omg…that is so sad. he was so young..man.
OMG.thats HORRIBLE. and sad
he was such a great actor.
LISTEN UP ASSHOLES! All Perez is trying to do is let you know that Heath has passed. But all you morons care aboutis how Perez spelled his name or you seen the news on another site. If you don't like it then GET THE FUCK OFF THE SITE or just go away. Come on people are you for real?

his poor kid is now without a father. so sad. R.I.P.

This is so sad to hear. He was so young, and such a wonderfully brilliant actor. I feel so sorry that his young daughter will never really know her father.
NOOOO :S he just cant be dead, nooo :S:S
Re: Rocket – Shut up, Rocket. Everyone here is in shock, moron. How 'exclusive' should it get? He died 3 hours ago!
very messed up. he was actually a pretty decent actor and seemed to be a decent guy. no f-ed up gossip about him in the news, really. and he left behind a little girl too.
If you have no respect what so ever then leave your comments to yourself. Please! Don't be disrespectful. And it does not matter what who reported the story first. The fact is he's dead….have respect
holy shit!! i saw jordin sparks' update info on myspace and was like wtf is she talking about and of course i came right here! i can't believe it!!!
That's very sad. Bless him. He was cool in "10 Things……"
RIP
drugs will kill you if you abuse them. drugs don't care if you're heath ledger or john doe. his poor kid is now without a father. so sad. R.I.P.

Blacks, too, can hack into a computer & find out the name address & EVERYTHING ELSE about any ass or ignorant bigot who cowardly bashes an entire race from his cozy & [presumed to be] "safe" abode.

Re: me – UGH..Who cares where you heard it first. He's still gone to us all. Geeze…
I'm so sad, he was my favorite.
Hollywood really needs to take a break and get their stars in order.
How long till Britney or Amy goes?
I'm speechless and its very tragic!
Holy Shit!!! We've loved him since 10 Things I Hate About You. Poor Heath, he didn't even seem depressed. We feel bad for his daughter, Matilda, who's not going to be able to grow up w/ her daddy. R.I.P Heath Ledger we'll love u 4 ever!!!
OMG! That is so very, very sad. I hope that his family, daughter, and former wife are getting the support they need.

Re: ♥ ♠ ™ – Actually that IS how you spell his name you stupid fag.
broome and crosby
I feel sick, he was a great actor and so young =*( condolences to his family.
i am beyond shocked!
i first saw the story on yahoo and i went straight here for answers!
OMG. So sad. RIP Heath
what the fuck is wrong with hollywood?!!!!!! bunch of dumb fucks taking life for granted!!!
This is a great loss. Ironically he was rumoured to be up for the role of another of our passed great Australians- Michael Hutchence. I wish this was just a rumour or some weird audition ploy. My thoughts are with his young daughter, his extended family and his friends.
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is such a shock!!!!!!
This is tragic. A young talent. His shambles appearance may have indicated deep depression. So sad.
im crying this is soo sad …only 28 ?? nd such a talented person ! its just wrong …. i hope someones playing a big joke…. nd his poor daughter aswell … its devastating news
Devastating! I hope it wasn't suicide! His poor daughter. He was such a great actor!
Re: Liz –

With Love from Norway!

WOW!!!!!!!!! I seriously am so f*cking shocked. Like honestly
I thought lately he did look a little tore up but I honestly never would have thought him of all people would be found dead…..Britney yeah but not Heath Ledger. I am seriously sad
I was shocked && gutted to hear this, such a sad waste of brilliant talent.
NOOOOOOO!
This is horrible! I couldn't believe it when I first heard it.
I feel so bad for his ex wife and daughter. Dude, I LOVED him. Why? he was playing the joker in the new batman movie.
God, I loved him. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy
HOLLY MOTHER FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Utterly sad! So sad… you NEVER saw anything ugly about him anywhere! I guess it's always the ones you least suspect. RIP
OMG total shock! I love him.. So sad for his family and baby girl!!
this is terrible. his poor daughter. I hope it was accidental and not suicide. he was a great actor and watching his portray the joker in the new batman movie wont be the same knowing hes dead. RIP heath. you were an amazing actor.
Omg. I am in a total state of shock.
When my friend told me i didnt believe her, but at the exact same moment another friend text me the same thing.
Truly Tragic. Heart goes out to his family and friends. R.I.P
Re: ~Guess Who~ – Negroes can't hack into anything, Sambo. Look at the retarded monkeys. Anything more complicated than a rock and a stick confuse the shit out of the filthy brutes!
