So sad! With all the celebrities that are embroiled in controversy and mixed up with drugs and in trouble with the law right now, you'd never expect to hear Heath Ledger has died. Potentially from an overdose of prescription pills, but they don't know for sure.

I thought he was a very good actor, and was really looking forward to seeing him in the new Batman movie later this year. (I guess I still am looking forward to it -- I assume it will be released as planned.)

Sigh. Such a handsome, talented young guy. It's a shame.

I absolutely didn't believe, I went right to yahoo.com and it was the yahoo news cover article. Here's the article for those interested http://omg.yahoo.com/heath-ledger-fo...-nyc/news/5898

I was in shock to find this out as well! So sad. I feel worse for his little daughter.

Wow. Yeah, that's a shame. So young. =0(

So sad! I was definitely a fan

My sister called and told me earlier and I was shocked. So sad that someone you think has everything in life can possibly be missing something. I feel so sorry for his little girl! =0(

I really liked him too - it's very sad. I was walking on the treadmill at the gym and it came on CNN... I was shocked. Didn't know he had a little girl

That's so sad.
You never really expect current celebrities to just... die...

I was shocked when I heard the news. He definately seemed like he had it together. I feel for his daughter.

I couldn't believe it when I heard it Soooo talented...

I know he had been doing more serious films, but I will ALWAYS love 10 Things I Hate About You.

I was shocked too when I heard the news. I was driving home from the grocery store when heard. Unbelievable. I loved him in A Knights Tale and The Patriot. What was the other movie he was in?? Was it "Four Feathers"?

He was so young... and his poor daughter. RIP Heath.

Wow.

That's just. whoa. What a shock. I hadn't heard anything about him in so long... he seemed to be out of the head lines and whatnot... and just suddenly to be dead.

nuts. So sad.

I've been crying off and on since I first heard about this. I feel so horrible for his daughter. He was so talented. RIP Heath!!



and man..just last week Brad Renfro died.. =(
