I'm so sad. He seemed like a really nice guy.
Yes this is sad… but I'm pretty sure everyone in Hollywood is on drugs so I'm not that shocked.
RIP
Peace.
The NYTimes is saying it was in Mary Kate Olsen's apt.
Absolutely tragic. I can't get my head around it…
i heard it was mary kate olsens apartment and no one knew why he was there?
oh god that fucking sucks, why!!!!!!! i fuckin love him.
hey fat boy. you better get to reportin. Everyone else has way more on this than you. I hope for your sake you are taking pics of the dead body as we speak or conducting an earth-shattering interview.
Rest in Peace Dude!
A Knight's Tale, one of the best movies i have seen..
THIS IS SOOO SAD!! I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!
THIS IS SOOO SAD!! I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!
when my friend told me over IM I was like, lol stop being so sick ?! Then I realised he wasn't kidding. I'm actually overwhelmed with sadness about this and I find comfort in the fact that other ppl feel the same. Such a fantastic actor with a zest for life so it seemed. My thoughts are with Jen and their daughter Matilda. So completely shocking, especially so early in the new year.
I can't believe it! Heath is such a legend! I know it's gonna sound stupid now, but I've liked him ever since 10 Things I Hate About You. I was really looking forward to seeing him as The Joker and I was hoping he'd get bigger and better. This is so sad!
I just hope everyone knows how many fans Heath actually has…
Yeah, Perez, you should feel pretty low calling him Fug of the year.
YOU DON'T KNOW CRAP ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH!!!
He was a great actor. A great father. And he will be missed. RIP HEATH LEDGER!!!
HEY IT SUCKS!…BUT YOU HAD TO SEE THIS COMING CUZ OF THE SPLIT UP WITH THE WIFE AND THE ROLE HE PLAYED IN BAREBACK….MEANT "BROKEBACK MOUNTIAN"
What's up with him being found in MaryKate Olsen's apartment? What's her role in all this? Geez — its really bad for your little girl clothing line when they pull a dead guy out of your apartment. You know business could suffer. Maybe going to college wasn't such a bad idea after all.
Come on already. The news is saying it was over the counter sleeping medication, it's not like he was ODing on crack. Sounds to me like it was, sadly, intentional.
Crazy!! Not a celeb i pictured doing this, you know britney, lindsey, amy winehouse i could see this but not Heath. Just comes to show you how FUCKED up HOLLYWOOD is!
That's SO sad he's too gorgeous to die! I guess there won't be another Batman movie with him in it :'( R.I.P Heath.
Crazy!! Not a celeb i pictured doing this, you know britney, lindsey, amy winehouse i could see this but not Heath. Just comes to show you how FUCKED up HOLLYWOOD is!

Re: SICK N TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE WITH TALENT DYING FROM DRUGS – you're a fucking idiot, if you're going to rant and rave atleast know who you're fucking talking about, it's HEATH Ledger you moronic waste of space.
my perfect day is so sad now
Re: Sue –
I did the SAME thing.
WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING HE HAS A CHILD. The poor kid has not father now.
Crazy!! Not a celeb i pictured doing this, you know britney, lindsey, amy winehouse i could see this but not Heath. Just comes to show you how FUCKED up HOLLYWOOD is!
What is sad is that he was too stupid to think about anyone else but himself when he decided to get high. Too bad he didn't think about his daughter. What an idiot. I don't get these people - all the money they can handle, great careers, etc. I hope the high was worth it!
:(
Sad news
R.I.P. Heath
it was mary kate olsens apartment !!!???
What a loss! How incredibly depressing. He was an amazing actor. Lords of Dogtown is one of his best roles. Wow….
So sad. R.I.P. Heath.
OMG i can't believe it, is this for real!!!!!!
nooooo not heath!!!
shut the fuck up liz how fucking disrespectful can you be
the man just died and something inside your small brain draws you to call him and ugly gay cowboy
have so respect
RIP.
I'm sitting here, criyng!!! This is sooo sad. I'll pray for his family!
What a horrendous shattering heartbreak! Heath was such a wildly talented young man.
My heart goes out to Michelle and his daughter Matilda - they must just be reeling. such a disaster… I am so, so sad for them all.
seriously….I just took a glance at his biography realizing how many movies he has been in. He was quite a talent. Such a shame that he is no longer with us. Especially for his family, his baby girl, I just can't imagine being that depressed. He must have been really fucked up.
May he rest in peace.
I am just blown away by this.
Re: SICK N TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE WITH TALENT DYING FROM DRUGS – DIE FIRST INSTEAD OF THESE YOUNG TALENTED ACTORS WHO OBVIOUSLY ARE HELPLESS AND DESPERATE
AND MONEY OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T MAKE ANYONE HAPPY , SO YES I WISH THERE ARE LESS HEARTLESS DOUCHE BAGS LIKE YOURSELF AND MAYBE THIS LIFE IS WORTH LIVING FOR BUT EVERYDAY I ENCOUNTER USELESS HUMAN BEING LIKE YOURSELF AND SOMETIMES IT IS REALLY TIRING , BUT I WILL KEEP LIVING BECAUSE IN A WAY IT IS SUCH A GREAT JOY TO DEGRADE AND MAKE DOUCHE BAGS LIKE YOURSELF FEEL LIKE SHIT AND BY THE WAY IF YOU ARE SO SICK OF LIVING AND HEARING ABOUT SOMEONE COMMIT SUICIDE THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO DOUCHE BAG !!!!!!!!
this is soo sad!
he has a baby girl that is young that wont grow up with her dad. and hes soo damn sexy!
:( im in shock i feel so sad
Maybe he took pills/drugs because HE HAD SUCH LOW SELF-ESTEEM FROM ALL THE HORRIBLE AND NASTY THINGS YOU SAY ABOUT HIS LOOKS!
I imagine that would make someone pretty depressed if millions of people were reading mean remarks about a their looks!!!
If he took his own life he is selfiash because his own daughter will not know who he was
OMG! so, so sad. my deepest condolences to his family. i still have chills over this shocking news. his little matilda will miss him so much. r.i.p.
I feel so sad by this. I am so shocked. He was shooting a new movie as well. My thoughts go out to his family.
Give yourself a big pat on the back, Perez. One down. Have you ever thought that some of the mean things you've said about Heath may have contributed to his suicide, if it was a suicide? Sure, other bloggers and tabloids mangled him too, but you took it farther and just think of all the people that accessed your blog on a daily basis, while Heath was alive and added additional salt to his wounds. You are an evil person.
R.I.P. Heath… way too young to die.
P.S. Keep trashing the others too. It's people like you that enable young people in the entertainment industry to lead self-destructive lives.
I can't beleive it. :'( Heath….. i'm so close to tears right now….. I can't beleive it. It seems so impossible… he was so young and he was an amazing actor…. I read a lot of the other comments and I understand if you feel pity for the family and such, but when did anyone say that they pity him. The poor guy either A) was killed B) Overdosed on drugs or C) Was so in distress that he commited suiscide. I think it's truly awful and I hope Heath knows how much everyone down here will miss him. Only a month ago I was watching '10 Things I hate about you' and I NEVER expected him to be gone within the month. If the paparazzi are going to follow stars around all the time…. WHY CAN'T THEY BE THERE IN TIME TO STOP THEM!!?? :'(
Apparently the apartment that he was found in belonged to Mary-Kate Olsen…
I'm in shock!!!! How sad!!!
wow
in shock
what a complete waste of such talent
and I feel terrible for Michelle and Matilda…
In that video above.. he keeps scratching his skin the entire time!! isnt that what heroine addicts or crack addicts do? I know its definitely a side effect of one of those harsh drugs..just can't remember which one..
i am in complete shock! he was one of my favorites..
Just saw him a few weeks ago… He was dressed really sloppy trying to text message.. he was with a group of guys that looked like thugs.. he looked really skinny and kind of depressed… so sad this was the day before the Lohan romp I think
I cant believe this shit! Im in aw right now. OMG! I was just talking about how talented this man is and how dope his role in Batman flick is gonna be! R.I.P
Damn this is a damn shame what an awesome actor and good lookin man
im in complete and utter shock right now. he was my all time favorite actor and i was so looking forward to batman this summer! now i have a feeling ill just cry the whole time im watching it because he's not around anymore….
R.I.P. Heath….you will be missed forever…
WTF?!?!?!? NO!
I have a hard time believing he killed himself. "He was found naked and unconscious on a bed, with pills scattered around his body," Why were the pills "SCATTERED" around his body, unless trying to make it LOOK like a suicide? Some of you have made REAL NASTY comments about him and are ASSUMING he commited suicide - why not wait until the autopsy and investigation are finished before spewing out your venomous opinioins.
OMG I cannot believe this. R.I.P. Heath Ledger…I love you!!
I literally started bawling when I read this. He was so young…
Shocking. Sad. All of it. I hope you and other news organizations will not exploit this. A twenty something Father dying is sad- it doesn't matter if he was in the public eye or not. Be respectful to the people who have to deal and cope with this tragedy- not us, the public, but his friends and family. So so sad.
I can't believe he died!! So young and handsome!! Not to mention how truly sad that he left poor lil' Matilda without a dad. R.I.P. Heath!
turrible turrible turrible
:( RIP HEATH LEDGER
it looked like he was going to be amazing in batman…
i thought he was destined to be massive.
What a shame, R.I.P heath
very dissapointing………australia has lost an icon……….only the good die young…………….
Poor Heath. I pray for the eternal rest of his soul. He was an angel in so many ways.
Omg! I can't believe that he is dead.
This is awful.
and he's really hot.
My thoughts and prayers are with Michelle, Matilda and his family. Perez, you do realise that the horrible things you said about him may have contributed to his death? RIP HEATH. great actor, great father.
I'm in complete shock. I really wish people would stop jumping to conclusions - no one knows what caused his death yet, who are we to judge anyways! I thought he was a great actor, loved him in the Patriot. This really upsets me
heard it was at mk olsen's place?
a true loss
Re: In SHOCK –
you don't die of depression… you can die from drug use though…
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
:(
NO WAY! why him and not britney or Amy??? Damn life is stupid
This is so sad. His poor daughter and no one knew. Question: Is this just rumor or truth, was he found in Mary Kate Olsen's apartment? This is what I have heard.
RIP Heath, he was too young-this is sad, I feel terrible for his little girl and his wife—my sympathy to his family~
Nooooo!!!!
I am sooo sad about this.
I can't believe he's gone
THIS IS THE MOST SHOCKING AND HORRIBLE NEWS I HAVE HEARD!!! I AM SO SAD SUCH A TALENTED MAN IS NO LONGER WITH US.
WE WILL ALL MISS THE PERSON, FATHER, AND ACTOR THAT YOU ARE
I live in Brisbane, they are reporting here that he was in Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment. Not sure if that is true…
WHY SO SERIOUS?
OMG wat a tragedy! i cannot beleive he's dead..he was to young to die. I guess you never really know wat a person is going through until it results to smthing like this..what a great loss australia will miss you deeply heath!
First Brad, Now Heath - Soon Britney .. I Am In UTTER Shock !!! Not What I Expected To Read Logging On Tonight !
omg! i am aussie and everyone is complete shocked here!
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY…………………..
.
.
couldn't it have been BRITNEY instead?
.
Should've been Shitney, not Heath.
.
RIP Heath. I wish Britney was there instead of you.
Whether accidental or intentional, Heath's passing is an absolute tragedy on so many levels. So young, so talented, a good father, so much promise, and so many good years ahead of him…god damn this is fucking sad.
Loved him in many things, especially A Knight's Tale. Will be watching this tonight and probably crying as I do so. Who saw this coming? Ive had dreams about reading CNN's headline "Britney Spears Found Dead at 26" but Heath Ledger!! NO NO NO!!!!!! God what a tragedy!!
All my best to little Mathilda, Michelle (no logner together but I can only imagine how important Heath is to her), and Heath's family. Rest in peace mate, see you on the flip side~
This makes me so effing depressed. i love him. i feel really bad for michelle and their baby girl.
Tragedy, sad… hell no screw this guy! Kid, career people would have done anything to be like him and he does this… Screw you Heath
THIS SUCH TRAGIC ENDING
RIP HEATH LEDGER
I can't believe this. My heart actually sank into my stomach! Mr. Heath Ledger was an actor whose career I have followed since The Patriot. My hearts is heavy.
I'm seriously going to cry.
This makes the day so much shittier.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
CANNOT BELIEVE THIS SHYT! whyy!!! the patriot?? A knights tale?? 10 things i hate about you??
NOOO
!!!
This is so tragic.
You never know what the famous are really struggling with.
I mean, look at Britney Spears. You never really know.
R.I.P Heath
i just can't believe this
When I first heard this i first thought of Kurt Cobain cause his daughter Frances was about two years old when he died and I think his daughter is around that age, I fucking HATE that it's so fucking unfair to your kids that they never got to know you, I'm just saying that if his death was suicide, that's just so damn selfish!
can't believe it i am in shock
awww!! poor little Matilida! rest in peace Heath! We love you!!!!!
Can we Please leave Michelle and Matilda alone. Just for a week or for however long it takes to mourn the death of your partner and father. This is a tragic loss and while I love my gossip websites when a death is involved it's always good to back off. Sometimes we don't need to know everything or see the body being pulled away. All these things can be seen at a later time. I hope the Common people who live in the Brooklyn Neighborhood where Michelle and Matilda live will keep the paparazzi away and protect them. I understand everyone has a job to do and report but it's my understanding that the "family" doesn't know yet and just some of them found out a couple of hours ago in Australia as it's just morning right now. This is so sad. RIP
Aww..I was in complete shock when I read the title, I thought it was a joke at first
Heath was only 28!! I loved him in Brokeback, him & jake were amazing actors and the movie won my heart … a part of me is mad at him for killing himself..i hope it wasnt a planned suicide kus that'd be so selfish of him just leaving everyone behind… his fans..ex-wife…family…including his little girl… R.I.P. Heath Ledger !! I'm so glad I have the DVD of brokeback…i shall watch it again soontimes, you'll be greatly missed.
Can someone please clear up the whole MK Olsen thing??? People are saying its his house, its her house. CBS as well as MSNBC are saying it was her place……which is it? Help oh Queen of all Media!!!!
