BTW, he was found in an apartment owned by Mary-Kate Olsen.
Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
CNN is now reporting that it's a suspected suicide. Also, that it was Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment he was found in.
It's terrible, and heartbreaking.
le nubian's link makes mention of him and Michelle Williams having split up recently, which maybe makes more sense of the situation.
I'm sad... I thought he was one of the people who was going to make it though all the Hollywood BS undamaged.
They split up last year sometime.
About 22,000 or so people die of drug overdoses per year in the US. It raises at about 15% each year. One of the key sources is actually opioid pain killers -- oxycodone, hydrocodone, methadone and fentanyl, which are legally prescribed pain killers. But can also be taken out of prescription for thrills. The rest is made up of heroin, pretty much.
this may seem callous but I am so mad at Heath Ledger right now. He was filming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus with Terry Gilliam.
what a stupid fucking waste
Laga, he might well have filmed his part in that.
I did cry, and then I felt stupid for crying over someone famous
Wow, it's just so sad...I know he and his wife were separated, but still I"m sure it's heartbreaking. And his little girl...it just makes me so so sad when people feel so lost that they can't see any way out.
