Heath Ledger is dead!

Is anyone else flabbergasted by this??? He has a 2 year old daughter that will never know her daddy :-( .

I don't know a whole lot about him (know who he is, just not many of his films) - but that is immensely sad for the child ...

Saw his age in news report earlier - 28 is way too young.

For those that didn't know, Heath was having problems sleeping after filming the new Batman movie. He said that the Joker really disturbed him and was giving him nightmares, hence the ambian.

Although I never saw the movie, he was one of the leads in Brokeback Mountain. Apparently on hellova acted movie. He was on hellova actor. His potential will be missed by friends, family and fans.

so how did he die?

[Luckykelleyk]

Well he just died today so they don't know yet, but they found him with sleeping pills scattered around him. They say it didn't look like suicide though. Some have said that he was having nightmares, and may have accidentally OD'd, some say he abused drugs. Either way, most likely drug related. Sad.
