Really?????

Afraid so.



Man, this sucks.

I guess we found this out at the same time. It's so sad! He was only 28.

Uhg. He has such a promising career ahead of him. Did he finish his last films or are they going to add composite him in like they did with Brandon Lee in the Crow?

My husband just called to give me this news. Neither of us know if they've finished his Batman filming or not. *goes to look*

Beat me to it.

This is a shame, he was very talented. CNN is saying now it might be drug related, possibly a suicide. (He was found "surrounded" by sleeping pills.)

I heard filming was completed for The Dark Knight. His final movie.

My guess is that they have, seeing that they have the trailer out already.

No way! That's terrible, he's so young!

Confirmed by cnn just now.

I just wasn't sure if they had finished shooting any pick up shots or reshoots. I know principle photography is done.

Or Bella Lugosi in Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Clearly, I'm retarded for re-posting this story 22 minutes too late. :p

We'll probably have to wait to hear if he really committed suicide. Is there anymore info on other sites? I saw the news on msnbc.

I seriously doubt he committed suicide.

It was either a congenital problem or an accidental overdose just like the rest of the hundreds of millions of overdoses every year.

No more tragic or sad than when Billy Ledger the 28-year old car salesman of the month dies from a drug overdose.

I won't ignore the possibility, maybe he thought the Joker was his finest role and wanted to go out like Brandon Lee.

Or maybe he was really depressed.

Billy Ledger is dead?? He owes me money!!!

I seriously doubt that. There is no way a 28-year old up and coming actor will feel that one role is his best work and kill himself.

Also, why hire a masseuse before you kill yourself? Plus, suicide by pills? Rather a feminine way to kill oneself. No, he OD'd or had a physical ailment.

A whole lot more 28-year old successful actors are doing drugs than are committing suicide

probably upset that he didn't get an oscar nod

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Not Heath Ledger!! This is so f**ked up! He was only 28! I really dont get how some of you are joking about someone's death. Thats f**ked up. If death is so funny, go jump off a cliff.
