TMZ has learned Heath Ledger had a substance abuse problem. A Ledger confidante tells us he had been clean for a year.
Contrary to several published reports, we're told Ledger had not been in rehab.
1. Stop speculating and let the police do their job. If you have a confidante that is telling you this, then please enlighten us as to which drug he had a problem with?
Let his family heal without all of your slandering rumors.

2. 109. Tragic. An amazing talent.
Questions? Who, exactly, has pills of any kind "scattered" all over the room? Ever? For what reason?
Sad, sad.

Umm... my grandpa was found with pills scattered all over his room when he was found dead. Reason: was trying to take an advil because he was having chest pains, but his chest pains were a heart attack and he ended up flinging pills every where trying to get to a phone.

4. I do not believe Heath had a drug problem. He was smarter than that. On the other hand, I am sure being stalked by the paparazzi 24/7 causes stress which causes people to act in ways they would not normally act. Even if Heath did have a drug problem, according to this "report" he had been clean for one year. This gets back to my belief that Heath was too smart for that. "If" he did try some drugs, he realized that it was stupid and quit.

5. Let the man rest in peace because remember, even though Heath was an actor and always in the public eye, he was a person who has a family and friends. His young daughter is the one that will be most affected by these rumors and his death. Her father will not be there to teach her how to ride a bike or drive a car. Heath will not be able to hold his little girl when her heart has been broken by a boy or walk her down the aisle when she gets married. Matilda's dad won't watch her grow up and become a woman and she will always feel like a piece of herself is missing because she never truly got to her father. With these rumors it will only do more damage because Matilda might grow up questioning if he was an addict. Though Heath was far from perfect in his time here on earth I want to know who out there is? We all have our demons and sometimes they the best of us. Most of us are lucky and are able to go through our lives without the stupid mistakes that we make being viewed by the world. I find is horrible and in lack of taste to constantly spread rumors about Heath after his death and taping his body being removed and then being moved from the funeral home was detestable. How would you feel if that was your loved one?
Heath was an incredible actor who's life ended in tragedy. He was never comfortable in the spotlight and his anxiety, along with his sleeplessness, travel schedule, and demands of a high profile life, could explain some of his behavior in interviews and other public appearances, As someone who suffers from anxiety and insomnia I know all to well the feelings associated with these problems. I have a hard time sitting in a classroom at times, I cannot imagine sitting in front of the world. I hope that the media can start showing some respect for the man, and if not for him then for his daughter, and stop spreading rumors and leaking tapes that only prove that Heath did not appear to be an addict. Leave it alone. So what if partied, drank, and was playing the field? If that was a "normal" person people would only say that he was living life and having fun. Why is it that because he was an actor these everyday and normal actions are looked at as such drastic and problematic issues? He was young and single...there was nothing wrong with him living a little.
6. for gods sake let him rest in peace and stop causing unimaginable heartache for his family.Even if he did it doesnt change the fact that there is a heartbroken family reading crap like that and hes no longer with us, so please shut up!!!!!!!!
