Heath Ledger found dead in apartment

[Matthew]

He OD'd. Some say sleeping pills, some say heroin, etc, but police found empty bottles by his bed, apparently.

Suicide with a 2 year old daughter and a nice movie career. Not to be mean, but how can anybody feel bad for somebody who does this to themselves. :\

He was just a person. I saw brokeback mountain and immediantly thought of this one sketch on a radio show I listen to sometimes.

I don't think I ever realized he was dead. I'm sorry. And Matthew did kinda have a point. People have much worse lives.

Maybe the evidence was planted there?

If it turns out to be drugs then it is really hard to feel bad about it. The only thing that weirds me out about it was that he was just short of three months older than me.

This was unexpected news.

well hell, he didn't make a good decision, but still. I'm not going to feel happy about mocking someone who literally just died, no matter what the circumstance of their death. And just like Anna Nicole, it'll probably be weeks before anyone knows if the pill overdose was suicide or accident related.

Even if this is kinda irrelevant, I felt like quoting it. :P

Well death holds no special meaning to me(unless it is someone very close), so I can say/do what I want. Besides I was trying to answer Gnu's question both times. I mean who couldn't hear "brokeback mountain" and not know what someone is talking about?

[willay]

well that certainly sucks

This was, without a doubt, the dumbest thing I've heard(/read) in a long time. Not to mention extremely, extremely selfish. Using your logic.... hey Fyrus. Let me know when your mother (or someone close to you) dies. She's not close to me. I'll make a TON of jokes about her death and/or her life. It should be a riot. Cause hey, she's not close to me. It'll be hella fun.

Think of others besides yourself.
