Heath Ledger 1979 - 2008Friend of mine just sent me this link
Seems he has passed away for some as yet unknown reason. Thats really a shame as the new film was going to do wonders for his career and he was finally breaking out of the pretty boy niche he got himself into a few years ago.
Rest in Peace Squire, Rest in Peace.

Tragic. Early reports indicate it was drug related.

They're currently saying that prescription pills were found by the bed he was in.

sleeping pills by the bed, and a medication cabinet with... well, medication in, one can but assume.
interestingly, his death was discovered when the housekeeper came to wake him to tell him that his 'masseuse' had arrived... at half three in the morning...

In the afternoon, he was found about 20:30 our time, thats about 3:30 pm their time.

gah, i heard it was the other way. which means that he may have legitimately been getting a massage at that time of day.
trivia question: upon finding the body, did the housekeeper:
a) call emergency services
b) call his family
or
c) call mary-kate olsen?
answers on the back of a postcard.

Well the verdict is in Heath Ledger died not due to excessive amounts of prescription drugs in his system but a combination of prescribed drugs for insomnia, pain relief and anxiety. Apparently this combination and result has happened before which makes it all the sadder.
