Lets Get This Party Started
Heath May Have Died Sometime After 1:00 PM

Posted Jan 24th 2008 6:56AM by TMZ Staff

Heath Ledger may have died between 1:00 PM and 2:45 PM on Tuesday, according to a new timeline constructed by police.

Ledger, according to the AP, was observed "snoring" by his maid, who came into his room to change a light bulb. She left the room, and subsequently let the massage therapist into the apartment. The masseuse, Diane Wolozin, then found Ledger at 2:45 PM, and he was unconscious.

Wolozin, say reports, then called actress Mary-Kate Olsen, because she knew Olsen to be a friend of Ledger's.


Eddie Murphy Wanted Mama on Honeymoon

Why the sudden breakup between Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds? Well, for one thing, reports the New York Post, Eddie wanted his mom to go on the honeymoon. That would be a deal-breaker for us too.

What's more, a source says that Eddie became "like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ... He started screaming at her and grabbed her. She was scared." And thus the pair scrapped plans for a Bora Bora wedding at the very last minute, saying that they "have decided to remain friends."

Murphy's rep said, "We won't comment any further on this."

17. What the heck...You notice this is the second actor that just before he died was snoring???Brad Renfro was the same thing. BTW have the found the cause of Renfro's death??? I mean for both of the people the speculate that the overdosed but it is a possiblity that something else is wrong. I mean also look Heath Ledger was sick with pnemona at the time of his death and Brad was also sick. Is it a possiblity that these sleeping pills affect your breathing much more when you are sick. I mean strange possiblities and similarities. Never know but if you take sleeping pills be careful when your sick cause both of these guys are dead now.

18. Why does the midia feel the need to defame such a talented actor? It has been said over and over again by the police that no drugs were found in Heath Ledger's apartment. Let's wait until the toxicology report is released before everyone stars asuming that he did all kinds of things like suicied or illegal drugs. He's gone and that's a very big loss at least let his memory be that of a good father, son, friend, and actor. Not of a drug addict.

19. The past few days your site has posted almost every few minutes information on Heath Ledger's death...a lot of it wrong. I know that there is a big rush to get as much news to the public as quickly as possible, but in light of the situation maybe you should hold off on some of your half assed stories about drugs and paraphanalia until you have that confirmed. It is better to play it safe than have so much false info being passed on to people who take this site as the gospel.

20. Not saying it was this with Heath, but I found my mom (who had pneumonia and asked me to check on her) at about 3 am, she was incoherant, so I called 911. After I called 911 she started turning blue, and was making the oddest snoring sound, it was like she was snoring but she was awake. 911 came and took her to the hospital, and it turned out the she had carbon (either mono or di) oxide buildup because she didn't exhale enough. She is fine now, but the doc's said she would have lived if I had not found her. Apparently, it was the sound of her dying, scarry stuff.

The moral to that story is, make sure you exhale just as much as you inhale when you are sick, especially pneumonia (not saying Heath had that)

As for Beckham, yummy

As for Murphy, he's kind of odd

Rush Limbaugh, why is he famous?

21. Ok...so what if that wasnt him snoring? What if that was him trying to get air to his lungs??

22. I agree #16. People always want to see the worse. It's heartbreaking enough to lose someone you know and love without the public making a mockery out of it. May he rest in peace, and his family find comfort. He will forever be a Legend in my book!!!

Posted at 11:02AM on Jan 24th 2008 by GOD BLESS!!!

23. Why did she not call 911 FIRST? I just don't get why these people call bodyguards, friends, etc first before they call for medical help. For all we know he might have been able to be revived had time not been wasted calling everyone else first.

24. 18, thats funny. NOT FUNNY, but funny, thats all.

25. The way I heard it, and this could just be another rumor, is that the O twins bodyguard was an EMT, he could get there first because he was a block away, after they called O twins, they called 911. It makes sense to me, especially in a big town like Manhattan, where EMT could take a while to arrive,

26. 25. Okay, the part about Beckham's fifteen cars is just silly; it doesn't matter how many cars he owns, he can only drive them one at time, so what's the difference? And it's not as if the car manufacturers would make fourteen fewer cars if he only bought one.

27. Look, even a 78yr old knows a trashy bitch when she sees one

28. # 15 - You have a vaild point. A little over a year ago, a co-workers friend had a severe cold and had was an insomniac. Bottom line she took her sleeping pills (by the way she was advised not to mix the sleeping pills and the medicane she was on for the cold by a doctor, did it anyway) and died in her sleep. I guess if you are on any kind of medicane for being sick - lay off the sleeping pills. Scary stuff.

29. Maybe if Heath's massage therapist would have called 911 like any normal human being would do instead of Mary Kate Olsen, he might be alive today.

30. Tracy Edmonds is a moron. What did she think was going to happen? Eddie Murphy acts like a complete ass and doesn't acknowledge his own daughter and he just so happens to become a decent man overnight? Yeah right!
