Last Video of Heath?

A grainy cell phone video of Heath Ledger taken three days before his death might be the last footage of the actor.


A British website, TheLondonPaper.com, posted the video -- claiming it was shot from an apartment window overlooking the Clerkenwell set of "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus." It was reportedly taped on the evening of January 19.

106. i think it's really interesting that your show is on FOX, and you haven't reported about John Gibson's disgusting remarks. http://perezhilton.com/2008-01-24-gibson-shows-no-remorse

107. Um, wouldn't the last "footage" of Heath be the actual footage shot by the film production crew, in a professional camera--not from a cell phone? I don't think this needs to be given value as if it's the only option. If, and when, his family wants recent video/film of him, I'm sure they would have access to that from the set.

108. Heath took illegal drugs. He snorted with a rolled $20 bill and wiped clean.

109. I am not a fan of Star Jones, formerly from" The View"... But, I agree with her on this one. I think, some of you will agree with this as well... Star Jones wrote her column on Huntington Post today...I pasted this from the newspaper online..



Reporting on the Dead
by Star Jones



Since we learned of actor Heath Ledger's untimely death on Tuesday afternoon, the basic fact is that until additional tests have been conducted, the autopsy is incomplete and inconclusive as to why this 28-year-old man died. That's what we know.


Let's get to what we don't know: his death was a tragic accident, or something to the contrary. Until we know for sure, I think the media should just shut their mouths and stop all the speculation that's been running rampant.

This man has a two-year-old daughter. His family is going through the worst time in their lives. Their hearts are broken, they're numb, they can't understand what's going on right now. Michelle Williams is trying to figure out how to explain to their little girl that she will never see her daddy again. It's heartbreaking, tragic, and it's being used to fuel our never ceasing desire to eavesdrop on the lives of others.

Please let them grieve in privacy and dignity for a few days at least for goodness sake. As far as I'm aware, Heath Ledger never did anything but conduct himself in the most respectful and charismatic way. He gave us exactly what we asked of him -- good entertainment and our $12 worth when we sat our butts in the seats of a movie theater. He made his living in the entertainment business, but he purposely chose not to make his life that way. He was by all accounts a normal guy in every way, a regular dad who was often photographed walking down the streets of Manhattan or Brooklyn with his daugther, Matilda.

The scene outside his apartment on the night Ledger died made me sick to my stomach. People gawking and waiting around for a body bag to be removed. I have been at similar scenes in my work as an assistant district attorney. And let me tell you, if you don't have to be there, you wouldn't want to be. It's morbid. Someone who was loved is in that bag... and trust me it takes more than a minute to get used to that.

And when actress Michelle Williams and her daughter arrived home in Brooklyn, the scene was just as bad. Instead of being allowed to enter her home in privacy, she had to endure the flashbulbs of the paparazzi waiting to snap the money shot. How she explained that to her child through her grief is something I hope never to experience.

Might I suggest that we in the media, instead of reporting on the dead based on gossip, rumor, innuendo and anonymous sources, choose to honor this man's memory based on his talent and the good taste we all should be exercising. My heart goes out to the family of Heath Ledger.

110. Wouldn't the last footage of him be whatever they shot on the movie? Duh. I bet that'll be clear and watchable too.

118. My heart goes out to Michelle Williams, my daughter went through this only a year ago and no one knows what this poor girl is going through. She will never be the same and he will always be with her... Everytime she looks at her daughter she will see him... I hope that everyone respects her time to grieve because a year later and my daughter is still grieving....
