The Latest On The Heath Ledger Tragedy
Filed under: Australiastic > Heath Ledger
Heath Ledger's body will be undergoing an autopsy today.
The actor, it has been revealed, was suffering from pneumonia at the time of his death.
He had also recently been filming in London shortly before his passing on Tuesday.
Friends of the Australian actor are saying that they saw his death coming.
"Heath has gone though a rough road of trying to get sober," reveals a pal.
Ledger's substance abuse issues could be one of the reasons for his split from Michelle Williams, mother to their two year old Matilda.
Williams is said to be devastated over the news of Ledger's passing.
Ledger was most recently linked romantically to Australian model/actress Gemma Ward.
And, although The New York Times has reported that Heath's death is likely an overdose, his family is insisting that it was an accident.
So sad. So incredibly sad.

perez, i heard your mouth was on ledgers cock when he died… is it true?
you talked shit about him when he was alive so i dont care really about him
Ik vind het verschrikkelijk voor zijn familie, zij zijn de enige die hem echt kenden. Gecondoleerd en veel sterkte met dit verlies!
Translation
It is a terrible loss for his family, they are the only ones who really knew him. I wish them strength to deal with the loss.

I still can't believe that he is dead!!!!!! :'(
I mean..HEATH LEDGER!! HEATH LEDGER!! The sweet sweet guy in "10 Things I hate about You" and "Casanova" !!!
I loved him, and I still do. He was such a great actor! I heard this on school today, by a friend, and I was CRYING! I couldn't speak!!
I didn't believe her at all, because it's..it's Heath! Heath Ledger!
R.I.P :'(

re: #100 KERRIE……ur a cock head!
Re: melissa – yea i own that movie also..its such a great movie very sad also tho..
watch the movie CANDY with him
nooo, soo sad, he was one of my favourite actors
i will miss him truly
so we have amy winehouse on the one hand… being a junkie fuck smoking a cracky… still kicking
and on the other hand there is heath ledger… a great actor with a beautiful daughter and hes gone…
lifes so twisted sometimes huh
If he indeed had a pneumonia then maybe he didn't treat the disease as well as he should have and maybe that's what killed him…
Doesn't matter though, because he is still dead.
This 2-year-old little girl who will never really get to know him is without a dad now.
How do you even tell a 2-year-old that her dad is dead anyways….
Hunky Heath is no more….Heis just a bit older than me….feels weird…
No lo puedo creer, estoy impactada
OMG. This is horrible. Poor Michele and their children. God bless them and keep them strong during this tragic time.
Michelle Williams should be devastated. She pulled a Reese Witherspoon on the poor guy, and she's the reason he's dead. Fucking Bitch.
Perez, although I doubt you read the comments people leave you, I'm hoping the tragic death of Heath Ledger has opened your eyes to how serious death is, especially when children are involved. You make snide remarks and cruel jokes about Britney Spears dying and think it's funny, along with some of your readers. Death is not a joke; it's very serious. A young girl is now without a father for the rest of her life, and you are wishing death upon a mother to two young boys. Just take this happening as a wake-up call that death is a very serious matter and should not be wished-for or hoped-upon anyone.
My deepest condolences are with Heath Ledger's family and friends.
did jaike jillenhole give him newmoanya? he probable kawt ades filming broakbak mounten
I personally dont think he died of drug abuse,or overdose of pills……well,there mite b some "truth" hidden,thr must b some reason or secret behind his death,plus,he JUST dead,so mayb time can tell all the truth….though celebs r juz like ordinary human,but sometimes ordinary human mite just gt killed by some "extraordinary" factors……Ok,that's only SPECULATION…
all the good ones leave while we're left with the trash of britney , paris, lohan, richie, doherty, etc. depressing.
it's so sad for australia to lose another aussie icon…
I love him!! This is soo sad!
We will miss him truly
RIP Heath. I like every other Aussie is still in shock!
To those people writing ridiculously rude and disgusting things, if you didnt care about him or what people are writing here…why did you enter in this topic in the first place? I really hope someone is as disrespectful about you and your family when you die. Insensitive assholes.
houghts of everyone with his family, daughter and Ms. Williams. Women at my work were literally breaking down in tears due to this. I can only imagine what those close to him are feeling.
awful tragedy. i loved him!
This is a sad day for australia, we are in shock and disbelief that this could happen to someone with so much talent
Thats so sad, but he's hot! He'll be like a hot dead person!
I'm just so sad. All I want to do is rewind the last few hours. I loved him ever since i was like 12. so so very sad. I sill cannot believe it! R.I.P
saaaaaaaaaad
I am absolutely gutted…Beautiful man, talented actor x
What An Utter Tragedy
Rest In Peace
SO tragic. My condolences go out to family and especially his little girl.
Australia has once again lost a mate. Our biggest value is mateship and it saddens us to think that he is gone.
I hope precious little Matilda grows up knowing how great her dad was.
I love him!! This is soo sad!
Aussies will forever remember him.
from Spain, we are so sad, and we go out with his family and his little daughter. Kisses
Re: The Rotting Corpse of Jerry Falwell – Omg the guy died, show sum respect!!
RIP you aussie!
true blue icon.
National people of Australia will miss him most dearly.
Re: another fan – Aww thats what i thinking but couldnt put it into words!
Gutted!!! Top actor. Very humble guy in interviews and was a genuine true star!! Not like these attention seeking freaks Britney, Pete Dougherty, Amy Winehouse to name a few…
y r so many people insensitive. Imagine if it were one of your family members or even u & people were talking like this about your parents or kids. the reason there is so much attention focused on this is because he made something out of his life unlike u people who have nothing better to do then sit there & bag out someone who made it big. As a proud aussie Heath was a great actor & will be missed by all in the movie industry & in Australia. Our thoughts are with Heaths family & friends at this time.
this is ireesponsible "journalism" because alot of people read your site and you make it sound like it was a suicide. you don't know any of the facts so stop talking shit.
he's really dead? wow…it's too sad to believe.
This is possibly the most horrible and tragic thing that has ever happened. didnt even see that one coming. he was such a well respected actor. i am heartbroken. hopefully half the idiots of this world will look at this event and change. it shows how a life can just end very quickly. It shows how easily you can fuck up and die. I wish Winehouse, Spears, Doherty, Moss, Lohan, and all those other stupid kids would look at this and decide to sort their own lives. Being drugged up is not the way to life.
Back To Heath. Rest in peace. We all love you. xoxox

His insomnia was rampant as well and that condition can drive anyone to madness or taking too many sleep aids…it's a terrible thing and I hope more comes out about people who suffer from it and the lengths they go to to try to help themselves..
RIP dear Heath..sniff

FUCK HEATH… FEEL BAD FOR HIM? THIS GUY HAS HAD A LIFE MOST OF US WILL NEVER GET TO SEE…. LETS THINK ABOUT IT>>>
1- LIVED IN A $30,000 A MONTH IN THE BEST AREA OF NYC, FUCKED THE HOTTEST GIRLS, PRIVATE JETS, GEEEEEEEEEEE… I FEEL BAD HES NOT HERE NO MORE… GIVE ME A BREAK. WHILE THE ENTIRE NATION IS WORRIED ABOUT BEING A BLE TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE AND KEEP THEIR HOMES .. THESE GUYS ARE LIVING IN FANTASY LAND. DO YOU THINK HEATH WOULD CARE IF YOU DIED , WOULD HEATH FEEL BAD FOR YOU? NO HEATH WOULD GO TO ANOTHER FABUOLUS PARTY , TTHEN GO HOME , DO SOME MOR ECOKE AND THEN POP SOME PILLS AND GO TO SLEEP. SO WHEN YOU START TO FEEL BAD FOR THESE PEOPLE JUST THINK WHAT WOULD JESSUS DO!!!
Did not see it coming. Ugh. So sad
An actor's actor - and a normal Ozzie bloke who started on an Australian soap and made it big. Sad for me being a mother to think that his Matilda will never know the love of her dad - and from all pictures he seems to have been so in love with his little girl - a relationship that runs so deep. Awful to think he died alone in his NY apartment…………just wish that someone who loved him was there - tired and lost soul.
I really hope there is life after death and his over zealous mind is now just cruising.
If any Americans who love Heath haven't seen the Aussie movie Candy go get it on DVD - quite prophetic.
It is indeed very sad.
Australia has once again lost a mate. Our biggest value is mateship and it saddens us to think that he is gone.
Quit the "first" shit! This isn't really the topic for this kind of crap. Be the "first" on a topic about Britney or something….losers!

Love you Heath
LOVE HIM SO MUCH
I seriously thought this was some kinda joke when I first saw it.
I cant believe it. He was an amazing actor and it will be a great loss not just to his family but to the industry beause he had a great future ahead of him.
My thoughts are with his family and his little daughter.
This is very hurtful and sad. So much talent, plus he's cute. Why
I love him!! This is soo sad!
We will miss him truly
I live in Australia and they said on the news that his parents found out about his death ON THE RADIO. Its disgraceful that the papparazzi find out and broadcast news like this without waiting for the deceased family to be notified first. Just another example of the hideous side of fame. I really feel for his family, his ex Michelle Williams and their little girl. The only good thing for his daughter about having a famous Dad is that at least she will be able to watch his films and interviews when she is older and see what he was like - something non famous parents cant have for their kids - but yes it is just so sad. Only 28! I hope people like Britney can learn from this and try harder to get her act together for the sake of her children. RIP Heath
RIP Heath!
all the good ones leave while we're left with the trash of britney , paris, lohan, richie, doherty, etc. depressing.sad,
RIP Heath! LOVE U
it's so sad for australia to lose another aussie icon…love you heath
Perez if you had any sense and compassion, you would remove all the disgusting comments on here. Friends or family member of Heath could read this and they are mourning the lost of someone they loved!
awful tragedy. i loved him!
xoxox
So sad
This is very hurtful and sad. So much talent, plus he's cute. Why!!
IT REALLY IS VERY, VERY SAD…. IM SO UPSET OVER THIS!
RIP HEATH
TRUE BLUE AUSSIE
HOW SAD .. I WANNA CRY ! I LOVED HIM SO MUCH
HE IS SO YOUNG !!
RIP
So sad, as an aussie myself, he will be greatly missed, just a normal aussie bloke making it big in the US. Its very sad that Asutralia has lost such another young talent after steve irwin and belinda emmett.
The tears came when I saw a picture of his little daughter hugging his leg on a sidewalk in NYC. My heart aches for all of his family and loved ones. I absolutely believe this was a tragic accident if it is in fact proven to be an overdose. But let's all wait until we know for sure. Pneumonia can kill people if it gets out of control, and we just can't be positive about what happened at this stage. Regardless, he was a tremendous talent, someone I enjoyed watching through the years. Despite of what others might say, I believe God was holding him in his arms when he passed. And I pray God sees his family through this. We love you Heath.
Why would Heath purposely kill himself in the nude? It was an accident. A man in the prime of his life with a 2 year old daughter has everything to live for. Give him and his family the respect they deserve and stop speculating.
As a fellow aussie, this man deserves to rest in peace. Give his family a break! Many condolences to Heath's family
yo. this guy was already a star, but he was also the destined "Road Warrrior" lead. that's how big a talent he was. George Miller picked this dude out (of a very small few) to take the role of a fictional character who, in 20th century pop-culture terms, was just a hair's smidge smaller than darth vader. he was huge. terrible.
i wouldn't trust the integrity of the source for US weekly. RIP Heath
His insomnia was rampant as well and that condition can drive anyone to madness or taking too many sleep aids…it's a terrible thing and I hope more comes out about people who suffer from it and the lengths they go to to try to help themselves..

it's so sad for australia to lose another aussie icon…sob sob…
I take it you've never heard of an accidental overdose? The reports that are being released by police and others indicate that there is no evidence of suicide.
