63. I can't believe this is happening. Life can be so sad sometimes. I was (and still am) so looking forward to Heath's portrayal of the Joker. I wish his family my deepest condolences .

64. What was missing in his life that he would so easily forsake it? Life is not like the movies - the time on earth is infinite!

65. He played a demoniac character, it was troubling him and he died. SCARY truth!

66. RIP Heath,
My condolences for family and close friends,
lets keep it together and find more ways to help people with problems like Heath (feeling down, depressed and troubled but have no one to talk to and share problems to) we have to be more concern about this happening in our surroundings. If we could just be more sensitive and try to at least be there to have small talks or check out our friends or close ones we might be able to detect if that person has this problems.
Please be more aware of this problem... we can or may be able to help those we love and who are close to our hearts.
To Michelle and Rose and Heath's parents and family be strong! GBU all.

A fan of Heath Ledger.

68. its very sad and tragic, my heart goes out to his family and especially his little girl, but it just goes to show you how ungreatful people are that they cant truely appreciate someone until after their dead...

69. I saw his other movies and I saw all of the Batman movies,so I'll go see The Drak Knight too. it WILL be released. An actor dies, Warner Bros. cannot afford to shelve a 100 million dollar that wouldhave grossed with or without Heath dying, 200 million adding all of themarketing things that will be sold. I am soryif some of you are too youngnad emotional, but that is life. One mokey don't stop nobody's show. Life goes on.
heath, I liked hismoves: Brokeback mnt. , Monster's Ball, etc. Good actor. Quiet actor . LEaving a baby daughgter is not funny. Sad.

70. This is so devestating.

I'm in Australia and we are all so shocked and disappointed in Heath.

Such a waste.

This would have been his biggest year ever. Sad fool.

RIP Heath you were amazing.

Condolansces to Matilda Rose, Michelle Williams, Gemma Ward, Naomi Watts &* Heath's family in Perth.

71. People are so stupid and jump twards conclusions.... could this have been a suicide YES but then again maybe not... maybe a bad reacion to ambien which is pretty harmless you could probably pop 200 of them and not die, same with benzos like Ativan etc.... if they were prescribing stonger sleeping meds like barbituates then yes he could have popped a bunch and commited suicide but most drs will not prescribe those as the newer medications like benzos and ambien and lunesta take there place because they are safer.... we shall wait and see what happend from the medical report but dont call him a junkie drug addict etc if we dont know for sure could have been a blod clot or freak reaction thing

72. Does this picture of Heath remind anyone else of Brandon Lee in the Crow?
