i think all we need to think about instead of judging wht jst happened is the loss of an incredible man, an outstanding actor, and a caring father.He deserves to be remembered…but most of all his daughter needs to hear or read nothing but positive things about her father.rip. we will all miss u heath ledger. i hope thanks to these last 2 movies ur real talent will be recognized.

Heidi,

Thanks for changing the picture! The new one (w/his daughter) is a great choice!

Answer to Dan’s question: actually, no - other than my grandfather who was the inventor of Bosco Chocolate Syrup. Everyone in my family is pretty much still alive and kicking.

I haven’t been to one funeral or a wedding in my entire life.

Hey Orwell - don’t get out much, do you?

I didn’t intend my post to be mean-spirited. I was just stating the similarities between two actors who are now dead who both performed a role made up in greasepaint.

I was pretty much devastated as everyone else by the news- more so, especially as one who is gainfully employed in the entertainment industry - I also share the sentiments of my former employer, Warner Bros in this loss of such a tremendous talent.

Now everyone is ready to calm down?

Nice … are you leading by example?

It is a sad day for Hollywood because of his death. It is also a sadder day for his daughter and girlfriend.

Dear Heidi/the Beat,

Though the news of Heath Ledger’s death is scattered all over news and comic sites, I take off my hat off to this site. Why you ask? Simply because of the picture chosen for the article. Everyone (across the web) speculates on how this will effect everything from Hollywood’s loss to Dark Knight Marketing but none of that compares to how it’ll affect the little girl who is sitting on her Daddy’s shoulder’s.

God bless her.

I hope they dedicate the new Batman to him. I’m sure they will. It seems the right thing to do. I’d also like to say that I don’t believe that his death was by his own hand… at least not intentionally. That Ambion (sp?) stuff can leave you really confused, and I know he had been taking it to help with what sounded like a pretty major sleeping problem.

ABC News is across the street from my bookstore, so we know almost immediately when something happens.
Sad news, but a bit surprised how many people at work were talking about it. Autopsy scheduled for Wednesday.
His resume shows a variety of roles, and I hope his Joker reminds us of the talent which was lost today.

Carey, show some effen respect man. Have you experienced the loss of someone close to you? Try it sometime, it may change the outcome of your stupid comment.

What a crummy week for deaths. I was saddened by Suzanne Pleshette’s death at 70, and I felt a moment’s sadness for The Brady Bunch’s Sam The Butcher, but Heath’s is just awful because he was so young. This one seems bizarre. The pills found were just some sort of over the counter nonsense apparently.

A little salve on this awful turn of events, Best Week Ever blogger Alex Blagg, wrote an impassioned plea for the media to "be classy" about this. Really nicely written, worth reading, and certainly worth heeding. I hope the media does.

It is tempting to jump to conclusions but we don’t know that he died by his own hand. Let’s wait a bit for the investigation to complete, shall we?

Carey:

I’d just like to say that pretty much every word of your post made me want to kick you right in the head.

Fucking idiot. A young man’s dead, most likely by his own hand, show some fucking class.

tmz.com is saying he had pneumonia.

Such a shame. 28 years old.

Yes, pills were found near the body, but they were prescription pills and there is no mention of how many were missing. The NYTimes piece is very specific that no illegal drugs were found in the apartment, and there were no signs of drinking. Let’s just wait and see what the autopsy says.

Such shocking news. When I first saw it an hour ago I was sure it was some kind of sick joke. His poor young daughter….
