I just saw on the news about 10 minutes ago. Wow...so young.

**JClarke** · 01-22-2008, 04:44 PM

I just found out only a minute ago, I was like WTF!? It is our australian actor! He is too young to die. What happened to him?

**Banjo** · 01-22-2008, 04:46 PM

They are saying it's possible that it was drug-related as they found pills in his bed. Maybe it was a bad combination of prescribed drugs, or illegal drugs... or suicide. We'll probably find out more soon as they are done with the autopsy.

I'm not sure, but I think he was still filming a movie with Terry Gilliam, or he could just had finished it as he was in NYC when he died. He probably will be remembered forever as the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie.

Damn! that's definitely shocking news, and it was not in the morning newspaper this morning, so guess the news just sprang only few minutes ago.

R.I.P Heath Ledgar. We, Australians, will not forget you and you will be remembered.

A housekeeper who went to let him know the massage therapist had arrived found him dead at 3:26 p.m.

Why is this in "The Closet" section?

It should be under the Entertainment Section.

I don't think it won't unless there is too many members talking about the 'breaking news'!

BUCK · 01-22-2008, 06:23 PM

Sorry Banjo, i did not know that you had posted what you did, when i posted what i did.

But Bear moved yours to mine in the Closet as i just post in the Closet only. and i does not help much to only have a dial up and only have a 200 Mhz computer, so it's not fun when i need to post fast. i can be way off on most posting of things.
