Memorial Service for Heath Held in L.A.

A brief memorial service was held for Heath Ledger last night around 8:00 PM on a rainy night in Los Angeles. It was attended by Heath's immediate family and a small group friends -- including former girlfriend Naomi Watts, according to several different reports. The service was held at Westwood Village Memorial Park.

The AP is reporting that Ledger's body is now en route to his native Australia. Ledger's rep had said that no public memorial had been planned for Los Angeles.

95. Don't you think that Michelle Williams actually killed him. He had no time with his daughter. The gracious Ledger family will include her as she was preparing to cut off their son. She killed him.

96. Says Heath was more dependent on drugs after the split with Williams. Family should got more involved IMO. Anyhow R.I.P Heath

97. This comment is to post 78 by Ashley
How the heck can you say that about anyone? Their is no sign that he did cocaine or ever did before you comment try to find proof which you will not find.......Also why put such hateful things about someone that meant so much to so many people like fans, his family and friends......For your information Heath ledger loved his daughter and his world revolved around her, I just don't understand people like you why you would do this to someone that just passed away.....I usually don't say anything as I don't like to waste my breath but had to this time as I don't think his daughter should read comments like yours as a matter of fact I think TMZ should delete comments like yours........As I have said before Heath you will be missed by all the loved you....Rest in peace Heath.........

101. what difference does it make where he is buried,the media has done what it always does hype hype hype sure people want to know,that someone in the limelight has passed, but do we have to know what he was wearing,or in his case not wearing, he was at home in his bed,not out commiting a crime, or with some prostitute, the shame is that the media,won't let it rest I feel sorry for his mother, she sure did'nt need all of the media attention, she and the rest of his family are mourning,if I lost my son I would be holed up somewhere not putting up with people who capitallize on every tragedy that comes along,rest in peace heath ledger,I hope his family can finally deal with the actual pain and start to heal without hearing about this every day

103. How come Naomi Watts turned up at the memorial and Michelle Williams didn't?

104. To all the people who are judging a man that they didn't know and are reading stuff that could or couldn't be true, Grow up! Heath Ledger is gone and there is nothing short of a ressurectiion that will bring him back and yes i know that I spelled that word wrong, like I care right now! Anyway, this sucks, all you mean people with your jokes and rude comments about a man you didn't know, I am happy that he is going to be buried in his country and that he was mourned by his family in private. And some of you people are coming off as bitter and resentful. Just because he might of done drugs doesn't give anyone the right to say that it was for sure or that he was a bad dad or whatever. Get over your bitterness because its only going to get at you in the end and destroy your own life. Nobody knows why he died and the fact remains that he didn't have reliable people around him before he did. I hope and pray that his family finds some sort of peace, even though it will be a long time before it even comes. GOD BLESS HEATH'S FAMILY...
