Heath Ledger RIP

Subject: Heath Ledger RIP Wed Jan 23, 2008 1:51 am

I'm still in total shock.

Read more about it: here

And Wikipedia: here

He was a truly great actor.
He was one of my most favourites at one time.
I loved all of his movies (that I've seen anyway)
And to me, this is just unbelievable.

My sympathies are with his family and relatives. Crying or Very sad

I was truley shocked when I found this out.
Such a waste of such a talented man. And only 28 years old (if I remember correctly)

R.I.P.

Couldn't believe this when I heard (or read, rather) - I automatically assumed it was a sick joke, like something someone edited on Wikipedia. Then I typed it into Google and the first page was full of it. Shocked

It's one of those deaths that doesn't sink in because it just seems so wrong. A tragic loss.

I initially assumed it was suicide but it's recently been reported that he had pneumonia. Sad

RIP Heath Ledger.

I've also now heard this.

- and it was rumour about the appartment belonging to one of the Olsen twins.

I honestly don't think it was an intentional suicide.
- ok, this is just my personal opinion.

The scenario doesn't seem right.
He wasn't alone, he had a pre-arranged appointment and it was sleeping pills
(yes they are clearly harmful if too many are taken, but it wasn't hard drugs, if you see what I mean?)
that kinda thing.

To me it seems like it was an accident and/or he was ill.

Obviously still no-one really knows the total truth.

But still in utter shock.

I'm also quite upset about some rather unnecessary comments that were made at school today. Mad

It's just disrespectful to someone who was pretty important
- not only to me but many others aswell.

Sad

Feel the same.

Found some even worse stuff earlier - some religious, anti-gay group who've decided they're going to try to picket his funeral because of the role he played in Brokeback Mountain. Makes me sick to the stomach.

That's awful.
That sort of thing really does sicken me.

Thankfully, there are certainly more of those out there
who really do care.
Over the last week pretty much all sites I've been on
have been totally respectful.
From simply "RIP" to detailed personal stories of how special he was to the person who wrote the story.

Some MySpace sites have even made him their default.

Goes to show really. That most of us do care.
