Digging Up Dirt

Filed under: Australiastic > Heath Ledger

wenn1726702__opt1.jpg

This explosive article in the Sunday Mail claims that Michelle Williams broke up with Heath Ledger because of his drug abuse.

A member of the actor's "inner circle" claims that Heath was using heroin and cocaine, in addition to pills, and that his drug problem spiraled out of control recently because he thought his ex, Michelle, was gonna request full custody of their daughter, Matilda.

The article also offers up a theory on what led to Ledger's death.

According to his pal, "He was not the type to have killed himself. The way I hear it, he went out the night before, he was doing cocaine, he wasn't able to sleep, and the investigators think he woke up, didn't remember taking sleeping pills and then took what accidentally was an overdose."

We don't know what to make of it all.

Thankfully, the toxicology results will be in within the next few weeks and that should bring some closure to all.

    perez, if you're going to report the news, make sure you spell things correctly, or invest in editing. "though" should be "thought", okay?

    No shit he was on drugs. Why else do you think he "hung out" with Mary Kate Olsen. She got the drugs for him, regardless of whether or not the drugs killed him, she contributed to his reckless behavior. I hope MK is exposed for the nasty little druggie troll that she is.

    I'm angry that Heath left us too soon. I wasn't his friend or even met him, however his work on screen (not always) was indicative of a very special talent. Brokeback brought me to think of Jimmy Dean, that's how raw his performance was. I'm sorry for his parents, everyone especially his little daughter that will never know her dad. I am also a young orphan. I was a drug addict. Do not judge so that you may be judged. Let's remember all the young guys who have died in Iraq too young - and for what?

    guess what? People talk about other people. People talk about celebrities.
    If you don't want to hear it, you know what to do.
    This is not a fucking DEDICATED TO HEATH LEDGER WE MUST ONLY SAY NICE THINGS website.
    It is a fucking gossip website.
    NOT ONLY THAT. A dead person doesn't give a shit whether you talk about them or not… THEY ARE DEAD. THEY DO NOT KNOW.
    No one is getting in the way of him "resting in peace" and when people die suddenly people want to know why so.
    So finally… I repeat…STFU

    116

    "he woke up, didn't remember taking sleeping pills and then took what accidentally was an overdose" How would they or anyone know that unless they were there? The Sunday Mail is guessing all this. Since he is gone, no one will ever know because he only knows what he really did.

    STOP ASSUMING. Perez, you said you weren't going to post the pictures of his family in respect, well don't post this is respect of Heath as well. Just wait until the toxicology reports come back! There is no proof of anything, and do you think his family would really want to read this right now? Please.

    no 'alexndra' you didn't 'know it'
    unless you knew him, which i highly doubt judging from your response which was so quick to take a negative judgement, you have no idea who heath ledger was and the amazing man we as australians are mourning the loss of.
    it's people like you who fuel these rumours and i'm sure heath would be turning in his grave if he knew the amount of press coverage on his death and way people were talking.
    i say, leave him alone, leave his family alone and don't taint his legacy

  22. tk says – reply to this


    122

    Perez as you stated yesterday you are in support of Star Jones' comments to not report hearsay. I understand that your source is from within HL's "inner circle". However at present there is no proof that his death is related to narcotics or even presecription medication. By putting it out there you're adding fuel to the media gossip fire. Fine you're not going to display pictures from the funeral home or of the casket en route to Australia, but isn't what you're doing even worse? I am a regular reader of your blog, but find this post to be irresponsible. For people who were close to this actor this is not mere entertainment. You can't act like you're taking some sort of moral stand against sensationalism when you post unfounded rumors. Shame on you Perez.

  23. Jessica says – reply to this

    People should really shut their traps until the toxicology results come back. Nothing is gained by all of this rumor-mongering except a few shady people get to make money off of it. Shameless.

  27. JT says – reply to this


    127

    STOP. Until these so called "friends" or "insiders" are willing to say who they are and how they are associated with Heath, these "reports" shouldn't be given any attention. Capitalizing on the death of an actor to sell newspapers (or get hits on your website) is disgusting and completely void of human decency. The man died and how he got to this point is really only the business of his family and friends. ENOUGH.

    Don't print this kind of shit, just wait for the results from the toxicology report. This is unnecessarily hurtful to the people that loved him.

    Until the medical examiner releases their findings the cause of death is UNKNOWN. That a rag of a paper comes out with this bullshit is mere speculation. In 5-7 days the world will know what killed this young man.

    I wouldn't believe a word out of her mouth. She is a known liar that gets paid for her interviews. The really bad part about this is that Ms. Rebecca has slandered Matilda's father and her mother in a very public article. I could say that I hope she has a hard time sleeping at night, but she obviously doesn't have a soul so it wouldn't matter. Too bad Naomi Campbell didn't hit her a little harder with her cell phone.

    R.I.P. Heath.

    141

    i'm incredibly sad at the passing of an amazing actor, who always came across in the few public appearances he gave as sweet, funny, shy and grounded. i don't believe that it's any of our business what he may or may not have been indulging in, because we as fans are first and foremost admirers of his WORK and not his PERSONAL LIFE.

    there are many people, most importantly the friends and family of mr ledger, who are mourning this huge loss both in a personal and professional capacity. i think it would be much easier on everyone if this pointless speculation was to stop until the relevant authorities have carried out their investigations.

    RIP heath. you will be missed forever.

    i just can't believe that i'm reading about the death of my first "schoolgirl crush" when i'm still a teenager. this whole situation is so surreal.

    145

    Okay, this article is such a crock. Perez even posted earlier that Naomi didn't know Heath when she was on drugs. Plus, with the fact that the toxicology report is coming back clean means that chick is lying through her asshole. And, if Michelle and Heath were such a mismatch, wouldn't it stand to reason that they'd break up sooner or later? Of course since they broke up and he's dead now it *had* to be because of drugs. Perez should take this down.

  46. Dey says – reply to this


    146

    whatever.
    It's not gonna change the fact that he was a great actor and I loved him. Life is so damn hard. It's no surprise that those tragic deaths happen so often. It's just so wrong. So fucking wrong that a 2 year old little girl (which is one among so many other kids) is going to grow up without the presence of her father. That's the saddest part of the whole story.

    Perez, I really respect that you refused to post any photos or video of Heath Ledger's memorial service, instead attempting to start a pattern amongst the press to allow his family to grieve in piece. However, why is it that you don't have any hesitation in posting all of the negative things people are saying about this decent man? Why do you provide a forum to perpetuate such evil thoughts, such as "God sent Heath to hell" and now this new article is taking pot shots at the mother of his child?!?!

    Guys my real name is Heath Morris Ledger and I am getting a lot of shit recently because the actor Heath Ledger died. I am getting pestered by people all the time because I am his namesake. I am not even Australian, I am Scottish for fucks sake. People find my number in the phone directory and start phoning me up telling me how sorry they are that I died and some ring me up as a joke and ask if they can buy some coke from me and if not, whos my dealer. People are really fucking dumb and sick as shit. Even my boss is making jokes about my name and i am nearly suicidal or else i feel like i am going to kill someone

    I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!! I FEEL LIKE SLITTING MY WRISTS!!!!!!!. I WISH YOU WOULD ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT HEATH FUCKING LEDGER! HE'D DEAD! HE'S FUCKING DEAD DEAD DEAD !

    I knew he was taking more then sleeping pills it would have taken about 15 pills to die on so i thought there were more drugs in his system. They need to find out where the olsen twins dealer is and put there butts in jail they use cokaine as well if she brung him coke she should be charged with his death i think perez but would be hard to prove that theory hellana Christain is in the scene of drugs all them models and lohan the curse of lohan he must of been hard up doped up and horny to hit that nastyP. look at all the dudes she sleeps with its just sad they need to stop running in and out of beds out there. They play with each other like a chess game between friends inand out of the squares and hitting the coke lines as well what do you expect if YOU MIX DRUGS YOU WILL DIE!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! to Lohan,spears,hilton i know they do coke the next one to check out i dont wont to go to rehab i say no no no WINO please get help before its to late please get help out there. I loved Heath god rest your soul man i wished you would have grown old so i could have seen great movies you would have been in sorry that we could not reach you only the good die young its true billy joel.

    155

    How quickly you forget WALKING CONTRADICTION PEREZ!

    Since we learned of actor Heath Ledger's untimely death on Tuesday afternoon, the basic fact is that until additional tests have been conducted, the autopsy is incomplete and inconclusive as to why this 28-year-old man died. That's what we know……Period!!
    t
    Let's get to what we don't know: his death was a tragic accident, or something to the contrary. Until we know for sure, I think the media should just shut their mouths and stop all the speculation that's been running rampant.

    This man has a two-year-old daughter. His family is going through the worst time in their lives. Their hearts are broken, they're numb, they can't understand what's going on right now. Michelle Williams is trying to figure out how to explain to their little girl that she will never see her daddy again. It's heartbreaking, tragic, and it's being used to fuel our never ceasing desire to eavesdrop on the lives of others.

    Please let them grieve in privacy and dignity for a few days at least for goodness sake.

    ETC ETC….. STAR JONES!!

    Not sure why so many people are bashing on Perez, he didn't write the story. The "Sunday Mail" did and he also stated at the end he is still unsure what to make of it; I doubt it did it out of disrespect but to keep everyone updated on outrageous or possibly true rumors. It is his job to post that crap up here.

    This reminds me of when River Phoenix died. On the positive side, a lot of people, like Johnny Depp, woke up and realized they weren't indestructable. On the negative side, the world lost two amazingly talented, dynamic actors.

    I thought that it was already confirmed that he had no illegal drugs in his system? If he did cocaine the night before, it would have shown up when they tested him initially…

    Perez, why don't you take a page from Anderson Cooper and even Star Jones, and just SHUT THE FUCK UP and stop publishing all this bullshit speculation.

    You really thought you were so sympathetic and kind by not publishing the photos of his body being removed, or of Michele returning to NYC, but this kind of info, coupled with that hidiously tacky t-shirt post are just too much.

    He was a fine actor, and based on the comments from people WHO ACTUALLY KNEW HIM (unlike you) he seemed like a wonderful person.

I loved Heath as an actor, but let's face it, we love speculation, if we didn't we would not be on these sites you stupid hypocrites! I have 500 bucks riding on the fact that they find HEROIN in his system. I knew it!!! ….and …by the way, Heath is resting in peace.He's in Heaven! If i knew I could get as much publicity by dying, I'd be happy to swallow a bottle of ambien tonight! I'm sure, no matter what the circumstances, it was an accident. no one knows for sure what happened. That's why all there is to do is speculate!!!!

    and one more thing….you stupid little fuckin idiots that post "1st" Finally I'm first to comment" need to get a life. if all you have to do is set on this website and way for Perez to report news, so you ca comment about being the 1st, you have a serious medical condition. The funniest thing of all is the idiots claiming to be first, never are……there's always tons of comments before them.

    The toxicology reports aren't in yet, but 28 yr old men with no recorded health problems just don't drop over dead for no reason. Drugs were involved in his dealth and people need to know the truth as an example of what can happen to them when they over indulge the party life.

    Along with the speculation on the drug overdose allegations, the story about the maid going into the room to change a light bulb and heard him snoring sounds kind of fishy. How did she know a light bulb was out in his room and why would she go into his room in the middle of the day and not try and wake him up? or, is she trying to cover her ass because she wasn't there when she was suppose to be or maybe she was to busy sitting on her ass watching soap operas to give a damn.

    Dude, the tabloids LITERALLY make up shit with absolutely no basis. It's fiction… they create quotes and sources to make for a more romantic story. It's really hard to take in something so tragic and random, and creating a history of drug abuse makes it easier, in some weird way, to accept his death. But it's not true! This contradicts everything we've been hearing from so many other sources, and just strikes me as fishy…

    I actually think that makes a lot of sense. No matter how much you dont want to believe it this man was taking drugs (and i dont mean the prescription pills). And he took some sleeping pills and that doesnt mix and thats what killed him….And to people saying " leeave him let him rest in peace". Idiots he is in "peace"! Talking about him isnt "bothering" his soul! Its if they were digging him up and fooling with his remains! The dead cannot be bothered by what people say! He prrbly wants to know what happened to himself too! Geeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

    Apparently The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus is being completed with Johnny Depp picking up where Heath Ledger left off. When Heath Ledger's character goes through the magical mirror his form will change into Johnny Depp's. There is only 6 weeks left of filming & it is all the magical special effects when Heath's character goes through the mirror. Depp's schedule is open & is not filming presently. Hopefully this will actually happen & Heath's work will be preserved. Who better than Johnny Depp to pull this off.

    Is anyone surprised. How else do you die in your sleep if you are under 30?

    It's disgusting that you would even post any sort of rumours so shortly after Heath's death. Until your speculations become FACT, keep your mouth shut and your hands off the keyboard, Perez & PerezHilton.com workers. Heath's death is not what most of us would consider "entertainment" and therefore you shouldn't treat it as such. This post just reminds me once again why I've stopped coming to your site so often. It's heartbreaking to know that there are people like you in this world that are trying to make the death of a 28 year old man into something to be gossiped and rumoured (sometimes even lied) about. So disappointing.

    This is really unfair. Why dont you correctly tag the pic?!?! Its from the movie he was working on before he died. No one knows whether he was a drug addict so stop trying to paint an image of him as one. Be a responsible media outlet!!!

    Come on, Perez … confirmation bias much?

    Reports continue to discuss how stressed and overworked Heath was …
    Karoshi: literally "death from overwork"
    Think about it. If that's possible, anything is possible. Can't we just wait and let science answer all the questions?

    Re: B.

    Wow, I did not real the full article, is that what she said? What a bitch. When I first heard they were a couple, I thought it was an odd pairing. But after seeing them together and then with their baby; they made such an adorable little family. This Rebecca sounds like jealous skank. They showed an old clip of Heath saying that he is proud and honored to be on Michelle's arm. After reading this, it sounds like a big FU to trash like Rebecca who was probably brutal towards Michelle.

    I know who his drug dealer was. The police need to look up a Mils Ward a photog/dealer she has been selling herion/x/coke to celebs for about 20 years in NYC. She hangs with MK Olsen Mils has been seen with heath . Hmmm strange coincidence? she has had everyone from Juliet Lewis to Lindsay Lohan buy from her. If there was a dealer on a hit list from Promises she would be first in line. Mils works as a pap photog that's her "in" to the celebs and then she gets them hooked. She was Heath's dealer for sure. The police look the other way…………

    Such BS! I love fake ass inside sources that went there five minutes of fame. She sounds pretty speculative and somewhat jealous of the relationship between Michelle and Heath.

    It's just a shame Michelle,his parents and family have to read and hear this kinda crap.

    Honestly? I don't think anyone but Heath and Michelle will ever really know the truth about the extent of Heath's drug use, and that's how it should stay.

    My personal opinion though? It was most likely a tragic accident. But seeing as Heath is going to be laid to rest over the next few days, I think it's best we all just let him RIP. Answers will surface when the time is right…

    BTW: If you are sleep deprived and exhausted, and are sick with the flu or pneumonia, and you are dehydrated from not enough fluids,, or you have been vomiting from flu, AND you also smoke, nicotine heavily, those things will totally fuck up your heart…and you could die.

    As I have been watching the TV stuff about Heath dying, I am impressed with how much the reporters appear to really like him and seem truly sad and sorry this happened. Heath was lovely. I think you should not be posting filth like this. Heath was…and is…and angel.
    The picture you are using is from the movie he was shooting in London for Terry Gilliam. He looks so damned hot! I will really miss him.

    Re: Dina – beause it sucks, that every celebrity is an addict. they are famous, and they are talented, good looking, whatsoever and i agree to handle them with respect and "care" (i do not need to see pictures of brad pitt buying a hot dog - so why are there thousands of people surrounding thim, to spread the picture (fe). BUT they are also idols and heros to "us", our teenagers/kids.. that was, is and should be a part of their job.
    one addicted celebrity, fine - but it seems like all of them are addicts and that is not what our "heros" should be like.
    if he had died of pneumonia, ok, but why were the olsens informed first? maybe because he was an abuser and maybe because they all were afraid that this was becoming public if they'd called 911 first? the whole story is sick. and if the story is, that a (former) good looking, talented young man died of drug abuse, the whole world should know. there's no use to pretend that drugs are ok and harmless.

    JUST LEAVE HIM THE FUCK ALONE!!! let him rest in peace for gods sake. stop making up shit out of your ass, ALL YOU FUCKING ANNOYING MEDIA PEOPLE!!!!! he was a wonderful actor, a talented young man, who kept a low key profile bcuz he didn't want to be caught up on all this media bullshit.. and now that he is dead, he's being attacked. why can't we just remember him for who he was? why do we always gotta go around thinking the worst of people?!!! LET HIM REST IN PEACE. he has a daughter who years from now is gonna read all the bullshit you motherfuckers are making up, he has parents and siblings whom are already hurt enough by all of this, and now they also have to listen to all the false speculations. why keep on adding to the pain?! JUST WAIT FOR THE FUCKING RESULTS AND STFU PEREZ, JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!! i love you heath, i will miss seeing your beautiful face on my tv screen, you will NVR be replaced. REST WITH GOD.

    These so called "friends" and family members are not doing the world any good by trying to hide any problems that Heath might have had.

    Even if there was a drug abuse problem, that does not make his passing any less sad, and if Michelle Williams broke things off in an effort to protect their child, then she made the right choice. Its far better that their child feels safe and does not recall anything negative about her father.

    Its just sad all around, but lets not make Michelle Williams look like a monster for putting their daughter, before her own heart and needs.

    Can everyone please stop speculating about what happened until we have proof? What about this poor guy's family? How are they supposed to deal with all this plus all of the "rumors". People just need to shut the hell up.
