I thought he was one of few young stars who could actually act [Brokeback, Casanova] or do a credible accent. 
Mommas, don't let your babies grow up to be actors, and don't name 'em Heathcliff.

Wonder where his group of people went wrong in spotting the trouble.  His family, friends, agent etc.

There aren't always obvious signs that someone is about to commit suicide.

But, condolences to the man's family.

Status: offline 		NEW YORK - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday in a Manhattan apartment in what police sources are calling an apparent suicide or accidental overdose. He was 28.

According to the New York Times, Ledger was found naked and unconscious with pills strewn all around him. Police sources told the Times that the death appeared to be a suicide or an accidental overdose.

A source told msnbc.com's Courtney Hazlett that Ledger had been turning down roles lately.

Status: offline 		The news reports I am hearing say suicide, so I am guessing there might have been a note.

But why hasn't anyone mentioned he was in Maty Kate Olsen's apartment???

I'm sure the script writers at Law and Order are tapping out a treatment as we speak,,,, Oppps.... forgot, they themselves are in the middle of hari kari...

nevermind

Status: offline 		A few youtube clips of him looking "twitchy" ... everyone isn't Britney, he could definitely had some issues that he didn't splash all over for the world to see.  He just broke up with the mother of his child, he had a hate/hate relationship with the press.

On Ellen...sitting on his hands, slouching...  http://youtube.com/watch?v=fkOpJsdjrEU
Interview, REALLY twitchy and squirmy, enough to make the viewer uncomfortable...  http://youtube.com/watch?v=uKa-aDga1fE

Yes, Ledger worked on 'Grimm' with him, and was either working on or was going to be working on another movie with him.

Sigh!

Am still looking forward to Dark Knight. He will be missed that's for sure.
