Heath's Family Speaks
Filed under: Australiastic > Heath Ledger
Taking a moment from their grieving, Heather Ledger's family addressed Australian television on Wednesday.
His dad, Kim, said:
"We, Heath's family, confirm, the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda. He was found peacefully asleep in his New York apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30 p.m. U.S. time.
We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for their well wishes and kind thoughts at this time. Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him.
He was a down to earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and selfless individual who was extremely inspirational to many. Please now respect our family's need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately."

Rest in peace, Heath.
I just can't belive it, its tragic really!!! he was extremely cute and also very talented , he'll be deeply missed.
it was only so recently he was in the cafe i work at in perth. Nothing about him said he was on any kind of drugs. i do not, in any way, beleive the speculation that he had died of a self induced over dose. Have a little respect for his family and close friends
This is the last time I will ever read Perez Hilton's gossip due to his disrespect. Anyone that agrees with me please do the same.
This is so incredibly sad and shocking!!! Heath was such an amazing person!! Not only was he completely gorgeous!!, but he was truly one of the best actorsof this generation. He was so versaatile and was wonderful in everything!! He will be sorely missed by anyone who enjoys movies or hot guys!!
my heart goes out to his family, michelle williams and especiially his baby daughter!!
RIP Heath. You will always be amazing!!!!
Re: HEATH SHOULD OF KNOWN BETTER!!!!!!! – [re=1335915]
first of all its should HAVE known better. If you are going to make incredibly soulless comments about a person's utterly tragic death, you should at least use the right word!
ALLY the completely cracked out moron who made the incredibly incorrect, insensitive and misleading comments about the passing of Heath Ledger should have her commens removed from this beautiful pink page!!!
Re: edmund –
how dar you make a ridiculous comment like that. U make americans look bad and to all you aussies out there the uy who made this comment does not represent the sentiment of the majority of Americans. We too are totaly mourning the loss of such an amazing, promising, humble, gorgeous and downright awesome guy!!!!
his passing is a HUGE deal, and ed is totally insensitive.
