> Heath Ledger found dead
Bookmark topic
“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.
And a youtube video showing him well a bit zoned out to say the least. RIP

Batman The Dark Knight is still a go, as shooting has long been over, now its just a matter of adding in "In Memories of Heath Ledger 1979-2008"
Batman story wise it is still unknown what is the ending like, if Joker died in that movie so gone with The Joker, if he still survive than a new comer is needed for The Joker role.
RIP "Why so serious?"

that's probably because he isn't. There has been no confirmed reports of drugs being the cause of death or suicide being the intent.
Heath ledger was found in his room naked with sleeping pills at his bedside. I have gone to sleep in such a condition on a few occasions myself. Just being naked mean nothing, some people sleep that way, shocking as some of you may find that

doesn't infer a thing, and just having sleeping pills by your bedside so what?? Surely millions of people every day have sleeping pills by their bed?
It's all just a press beat up, which explains perfectly why Heath hated the paparazzi so much. Let's wait for the coroners report before we start jumping to conclusions shall we, rather than cynically casting doubt on such a talented individual, who deserves to be treated with respect?
