R.I.P.
How Heath's Body Was Discovered

The Olsen twins' connection to Heath Ledger's apartment is now clear.

Here's the way it went down. A cleaning lady for Heath arrived at the apartment first, followed soon thereafter by a masseuse. They both entered the room at around the same time and discovered Heath's lifeless body.

The cleaning lady called police. The masseuse, we're told, called the bodyguard for the Olsens. She called him because they're friends and he's an EMT. The bodyguard was around the block at Ashley's and he immediately went over. By the time he arrived, the cops were already there.

We're also told it appeared Heath "had been dead for a while" and there were no visible signs of trauma. There was a pill bottle on the nightstand.

211. Please people!!!!! How many of us on the planet sleep naked???? And how many of us wrestle with demons that keep us awake at night???? Give the poor guy a break. Maybe he did just take too many pills trying to get a decent nights sleep. God give his family comfort and may he RIP.....

213. This is a tragety Heath Ledger was a great actor and man of good perseption. I think we should remember him as an icon,
a really great actor, and though we all will never get to know him treasure the friendship you or I could have had.
I mark this day the 22 of January a day to commemorate.

HEATH YOU WILL BE SORELY MISSED BY MYSELF AND AMERICA.
YOURS TRUELY,
KERRI

214. It's so ironic because they showed an interview with him from september/october ish and he said 'if something happens to me, my daughter is in good hands'. cryptic, much? either way, i am not happy with his fiance. celebrity news gossip people are speculating that they broke up because of his drug addiction. HELLO MICHELLE! you turn him into rehab!! they said he was typically more somber. so really-- who leaves a normally depressed/drug addict and expects them to be alright? -sigh.- r.i.p...i hope it was worth it

215. FABIO:

What in the hell is wrong with you? What would posess you to say something so disrespectful about a dead person like "I loved the video of him getting wheeled out of the apartment." Only an extremely sick and twisted jerk would enjoy watching a lifeless person being photographed by people who only care about making a quick grand.

217. He found MK's coke stash. Too much of that, couldn't sleep, got some OTC sleeping pills, died, end of story. Sad.

218. this room is for respect of a celebs death, so don't post your own psychotic thoughts of how you like seeing a body being wheeled away. you must be a serial killer or a soon-to-be serial killer to say something like that. who the hell likes death? that's sickening to think like that. get out of the room with that crap! r.i.p. heath...this is coming from a african american fan

223. Heath was a great actor, and an upstanding gentleman in Hollywood, which is so rare these days. He will be missed!

224. TMZ once again you show how insensitive you are just to make a couple of bucks. Your site and everyone who works there should be really ashamed on how you handle celebrity deaths.
You do realize that celebrity's have familys who are still living, and the way you trash them is really SICK.
I refuse to watch your show or come to your trash talking crappy website.
LIKE I SAID EVERYONE WHO WORKS AT TMZ ARE REALLY REALLY SICK.

225. the only link to the olsen twins is the bodyguard then?. am sure the families will be relieved about that!!.and judging by some of the comments, the haters are already on full alert with the gay insinuations and the viagra allegations.. all i can see is a family who have had the life sucked out of them in australia with the loss of their illustrious son..a country that is in deep shock at the loss of one of their finiest thespians and most importantly above all this, a daughter , a baby who doesnt understand that daddy is never coming home to play with her again,thank god is is so small, just pray for her mother so that she can now be both parents to the little girl.. i know this situation is not unique to celebritries, ordinary mortals go through this and more and with no or little money to cushion them . but its still a human story and the heartache and pain can never be softened by money or fame .the difference is that we, the general public , get to share in this tradjedy ... unbelievable... unbelievable...
