Oh my, what a talented actor, that is very sad....

I've long heard rumors of his liking of heroin. Wouldn't surprise me to hear that's the cause of death.

According to that link, there were pills all over him.

Yawn. Wake me up when someone from a movie people have actually seen dies, like Bobcat Goldthwait, or Pauly Shore.

That's pretty messed up, no matter how few movies he made. You guys are rude.

I'm not a huge fan of him and I'm not all torn up about it, but I think that it's very sad that he's left a little girl behind. There's no proof that it was an overdose or suicide yet. It's wrong to speculate or make fun of someone who has just died.

They said he had pneumonia too, so that could have had something to do with an accidental overdose. You shouldn't believe everything you read, like "pills all over him." I just read this: "....to find him face-down and unconscious in bed with sleeping pills on a nearby night table..... Police found more prescription medication in the bathroom but did not find any illegal drugs. Police do not suspect foul play, but have not ruled out suicide or an accidental overdose."

Now that is some pair.

Sounds like it could be an OD, accidental not suicide. Would love to hear the toxicology report after the autopsy.

It's creepy to look on the news, see a long plastic bag, and know that there's a person that we know of in there.

[T-Bird76]

We were very surprised at work. He wasn't even on our death watch. Yes we have death watch of celebs at work. Britney is riding up around second this week, lol

I agree. (I didn't even know if Bobcat or Pauly were dead. Can't even remember a movie they made.)

But with Brokeback Mountain, (which I never saw), the Patriot, 10 Things, I Hate about You, A Knights tale and Monster's Ball, just to name a few of his flicks that drew respectable bucks, I'm not sure how you can possible class Ledger with the two you named. Too bad, I found him a good actor.

Loved the ghoulpool link. I have Brittany up there too, way up there. Her name is right up there with Anna nicole Smith, Janis joplin, Marilyn Monroe, names the media obsess with, all having done the downward spiral.

When did Pauly Shoe die? I just thought he was washed up?
