Heath Ledger Dead

[flyingfox2002]

I was really shocked and saddened to see the news announcement when I got home yesterday. I was just in SoHo about two hours before his body was found. I didn't even know he lived there though.

Cops say a rolled up 20 dollar bill was found next to his body, but no illegal drug were found on the premises. Preliminary autopsy results are inconclusive.

Neighbors all say he was a nice down to earth normal guy. He's definitely not a party animal or stuck up me me me type of star.

It is really sad to hear of his death. He was a really good actor, it's a great lost.

Looks like an accidental.

First call after Ledger was found: Olsen

NEW YORK - A massage therapist who discovered a lifeless Heath Ledger in his Manhattan apartment made her first call to Mary-Kate Olsen, according to an in-depth timeline police released Wednesday of the moments surrounding the Australian-born actor's death.

Police said Ledger probably died sometime between 1 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday of what authorities say may be an accidental drug overdose.

Authorities found six types of prescription drugs in Ledger's apartment, including pills to treat insomnia and anxiety, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Three of the drugs were prescribed in Europe, where Ledger had been filming recently.

Ledger's housekeeper, Teresa Solomon, arrived at his apartment with her own key and let herself in. At 1 p.m., she went to his bedroom to change a light bulb, and saw Ledger sleeping and heard him snoring. She left the room without thinking anything was wrong.

At 2:45 p.m., massage therapist Diana Wolozin showed up for her appointment with Ledger, who didn't answer when she knocked on his door. She then tried to call him on his cell phone, but again got no response. She went into the bedroom, set up her massage table and again tried to wake Ledger.

Wolozin told police that Ledger was cold to the touch, but that she assumed he was just unconscious. She grabbed his cell phone and called Mary Kate Olsen, whose number was programmed into the phone. Wolozin knew that the "Full House" star and Ledger were friends, and she asked Olsen for advice on what she should do next.

Olsen, who also lives in Manhattan but was in California at the time, responded by saying she would send over her private security guards to help deal with the situation. In the ensuing moments, Wolozin realized that Ledger might be dead. She called Olsen again, then called 911.

The emergency operator provided Wolozin directions on how to do CPR, but it was too late.

Paramedics arrived minutes later — at about the same time as Olsen's security guards.

Messages left at telephone numbers listed for Wolozin and Solomon were not returned Wednesday.

P.S. Not all christians are like that. This is only a woman from the Westboro Baptist Church who was infamous for picketing dead soldiers' funeral. So, don't start the christian bashing.

I like how the maid called Olsen to ask what to do who probably told her to call an ambulance.

[girllikeme]

OMG, and you put your location as australia?

actually, like exodus said, i think it's particularly shocking because it's heath ledger

Never watched Brokeback Mountain, never watched Batman; can't expect more.

Exactly...most people seems to think he died because he had a drug problem. I don't think its conclusive to say that just becasue he was found dead with sleeping pills nearby.

LOL, are you for real, no one have watch a release version (final cut) of Heath Ledger Batman (The Dark Knight) it is only out July 2008 and now still in post production. Heath Ledger is AUSTRALIAN!

He is the Joker in this movie.

I first watch him in 10 Things I Hate About You. Which is a good movie.

My other favorite Heath Ledger movies:

- The Patriot with Mel Gibson
- Knights Tale or (Spaghetti Fight )

These are the people who truly will dwell in inferno when they kick the bucket.

Why him? It should have been EDISON CHEN.

[Bangs]

Rest in peace Heath, I enjoyed watching you in "A Knight's Tale". I hope this would remind everybody not just celebrities to take care of themselves and that health should always be top priority. R.I.P.

That's right!!

The good ones are often the ones who suffer more, I guess.

Like flyingfox said, he seems like a down to earth guy (unlike what oGaKirA assumed him). Not one who lived on the edge.

Sure. Like I assumed he was not a down to earth guy???? REread my posts. I never meant to disrespect the man in life but if it was a suicide then he took the selfish way out.

let's see here, if I took 6 different pills and above the recommended then "Chances are Im going to fookin die!!!"

Now I dont wish to argue with you anymore so stop bringing my name up!

Continuation of the Westboro lunatic. I can believe the woman is an attorney. But she was surprising gracious at the end of the interview. What a contrast.

Greg Cary talks to Attorney and Member of the Westboro Baptist Church Shirley Phelps.

Yeap, you meant no disrespect. You never assume he's not down to earth. Point taken. I won't bring your name up anymore. This is the last time.

oh well....that's the only way to go...either butt drunk or high!

i think the question on everyone's mind is - was it suicide by drug overdose?

Both. cuz the results are the same.

Why is it sad? The end justifies the mean. With all his fame and fortune, he chose to do drugs/overdose. Great!

Oh ok. May he rest in peace. Actually I don't know the guy. But let the truth be known, "more then likely he caused his own death."

I would be more then happy to lived the life he did then die the way he died. So to each his own. party like a rockstar.

When I read this on Wikipedia I thought it was lying.

WHAT THE ****



I don't care if he committed suicide. I'm wearing black for a week. And I will love him forever. Yes, I need to grow up. But Heath was my first love...

And a two-year-old daughter too...

Sorry dear...

May he rest in peace!
