Yeah, it's not everyday something happens like this. RIP Heath Ledger, I really liked some of his movies.

a really tragic story as others have pointed out mainly because he's leaving behind a 2 year old daughter and had really made it as a big time actor at the age of just 28. Michael Cain had numerous interviews talking about Ledger's incredible ability in taking on the role of the Joker in the upcoming "Dark Knight." I've seen it reported that he's had bouts of depression in his past and unfortunately signs are pointing to that catching up to him but whatever the reason it's just a very sad ending for someone who was just coming into his own.

I was saying the same thing to someone at work after a friend had called and told me. They both were at a point in their careers where the world was their oyster and drugs took them both.

I'm not a tabloid reader or anything, but I've never seen anything negative about him. It's not like we're talking about Lindsay Lohan or anything. Such a shame.

Well, he did date Lindsay.

Any murderer could have put those pills there.

They were all prescription or over the counter. There wasn't any foul play because his housekeeper was in the house with him and checked on him hours before his death.

True, but it's impossible to find the truth. Plus, you can die from painkiller overdose.

That's what I think they're leaning towards. I heard police found that all of the pill bottles were nearly full so it wasn't like he was taking pills by the handful, he might have just taken 1 pill too many. Plus he was battling with pneumonia so isn't there a chance that might have killed him as well?
