WHAAAAT?!?!?!??!!?
HEATH LEDGER is dead!! WTF?!?!?!? HOW!!?!?! WHY!?!?!? WHAAAT?!?!?!?! *screams*
I don't get this?! I refuse to even think that he might have killed himself... NO.. WHY. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A GOOD GUY. No one's mentioned suicide at all yet, but you really never know.
The articles are vague on details, more or less just stating that his housekeeper and masseuse (he had an appointment) found him, and that sleeping pills were near his body.
This is ridiculous.... I'm angry and saddened. This totally f'ing came outta nowhere. I was so pumped to see him as The Joker in the next Batman movie! Now I might just get all depressed and teary while watching it.
Brad Renfro, I can KINDA get.. he was an out-of-work actor who became a druggie... that didn't completely shock me.
But Heath!?!? HEATH LEDGER!!! I'm dumbfounded. I'll admit, he was not my favourite actor, but he was still in my top 20, and regardless, this is very sad.
*edit*
This so far, is one of the most informative and in depth articles I've seen about Heath Ledger's death. It really tugs at my heart strings actually, and I found myself a little teary eyed.

The only other actor's death that has shocked and bothered me so much was Jonathan Brandis'. For some reason I seriously cried over him, which kinda surprised me at the time (especially since Jonathan had been off the radar for quite a few years). Others are comparing this incident to River Phoenix, but personally I was a touch too young to have been affected by that. Anyways, regardless, this is certainly a moment that few of us will forget. I feel bad for Heath's friends, family and especially daughter. :( I hope people respect the fact that he was a good person, and was taking sleeping pills to legitimately try to SLEEP, and I hope people do not simply assume that he was just another celebrity on drugs. And most of all, I hope that was not the case....
R.I.P. Heath.

I think we posted about this at the exact same time...
Anyways... yeah, I saw the drug overdose thing... I definitely never expected this for him either. I'm definitely going to find a movie of his and watch it this week. Sigh...
