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.

When you take your last breath on earth, and have not received the FREE GIFT of salvation, and open your eyes to darkness, weeping, gnashing of teeth and eternal torment in flame - will you then reconsider your idolatry of so called "celebrity" and "entertainment" that spits in the face of G-d? Praising the acceptance of SIN such as sodomy in place of praising the Lord shows how debased and lost all of you are.

Put no evil before your eyes.
Be not a respecter of persons.
Seek the Lord with all your heart.

Let's just hope this man, like the other 200,000 people that die every single day (that you don't bother to praise and put on a pedestal like your celebrities), called on the name of Yeshua for salvation in the moments before their death so that they may have eternal life.

I truly hope I've upset everyone who reads this ... it may be the only way to stir your hearts to something much more important that celebrity worship.

Every hateful response makes me smile, and know I got to you personally!

47. Rreally, this is veary very sad...But does anyone need you to be THIS in-depth? Isn't it rather crass to be so pushy about such morbid details? Matilda certainly won't need to read all of this when seh gets older...

My condolences....But then again, I hope Michelle and the Ledger family won't be getting their comfort from here.

48. 911 WAS being called by the housekeeper. The other girl called her friend that she knew was nearby. No big deal, they were BOTH trying to get help.

50. This article from The New York Times published just two months ago shed a new light on the untimely death of Heath Ledger:

“I stressed out a little too much,” Mr. Ledger said.

He tends to do that. He is here in London filming the latest episode of the “Batman”franchise, “The Dark Knight.” (Mr. Bale, as it happens, plays Batman; Mr. Ledger plays the Joker.) It is a physically and mentally draining role — his Joker is a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” he said cheerfully — and, as often happens when he throws himself into a part, he is not sleeping much.

“Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he said. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.” One night he took an Ambien, which failed to work. He took a second one and fell into a stupor, only to wake up an hour later, his mind still racing.

Even as he spoke, Mr. Ledger was hard-pressed to keep still. He got up and poured more coffee. He stepped outside into the courtyard and smoked a cigarette. He shook his hair out from under its hood, put a rubber band around it, took out the rubber band, put on a hat, took off the hat, put the hood back up. He went outside and had another cigarette. Polite and charming, he nonetheless gave off the sense that the last thing he wanted to do was delve deep into himself for public consumption. “It can be a little distressing to have to overintellectualize yourself,” is how he put it, a little apologetically.

54. How long has Heath Ledger been battling herion addiction? Since the making of Broke Back Mountain or birth of his child?

55. Get a grip people. TMZ as with the other news agencies just tell you what they know when they know it. Obviously you all are interested in this stuff or you would not be on this site. It is up to us to cut through the clutter of all the info. Thankfully TMZ corrects its info as they find out more. It is really sad that this has happened to such a good actor and someone that always sounded like a pretty cool guy. Chill out with the judgements until all the facts come out. The best thing you all can do for his child and his family is to not talk crap about the situation until all the facts are out, if that ever happens.

56. oh god...I don't know what to say - honestly, I'd be a hypocrite and a liar if I said I hadn't read the story and watched the video. No matter what I say this comment will be criticized - so screw it...I actually saw Heath's stretcher being pulled out first on CNN (kind of ironic...supposedly 'high-end' journalism) The truth is...tmz or any media outlet would not be posting this video (or at least most wouldn't) if there wasn't an audience that wanted to watch it. The anonymity of the internet (myself included...I know) gives the viewers the ability to watch this anonymously unless they post something too like I am doing - so its definitive a negative, never-ending cycle. This statement may seem ridiculously obvious, but personally I find it overlooked. TMZ really is America's guilty pleasure...or is it? Who knows...Also, I pray for anyone that's depressed enough to take this tragic 'step' - not just celebs. The whole thing, not just his death, but his potential and the public's response...it's all really sad....send your prayers to Heath as a human being, not just a celebrity.
