Heath Ledger's Death


As most of us all know Heath Ledger died January 22, 2008. I find this absolutly crazy and upseting. He was such a young and wonderful actor who was nominated for an academy award.

Us Weekly claims that he was an abuser of alcohol and drugs such as heroin, cocaine, and pills. It was also said that this all started once he and the actress Michelle Williams broke up.

Also in Us Weekly it was said that Michelle Williams tried to get him help but refused to go to rehab and beause of this she rufused to let him see their daughter matilda unless he got drug tested!

Although Ledger has been identified as a drug user, I do not believe that drugs were the actual cause of his death. I believe that he was simply over-tired from his redeye flight and was looking to catch some good sleep. The sleeping pills must not have mixed well with his body chemistry.

Does anyone else (other than Michelle Williams according to Perez Hilton's website) agree with my speculation on Ledgers cause of death? Or do you think that it was because he was administering drugs?

It really was a great tradgedy to see this young star fall victim to the evil and vice that hollywood offers on a daily basis. Too often people (not just stars) give in to the preasure of drugs especially after a heart breaking break up like Ledger had with his gilfriend. He was a great actor and will sincerely be missed.

On a brighter note I am excited that you didnt shy away from this news. Some people might have thought it to be a little contraversial to talk about an overdose death, but it shows how dedicated you are to celebrity news. I cant wait to read your next post.

This was a great topic to choose. It is a part of our news so much these days.

The more you hear about these kinds of stories the more it makes you think about the world. I mean sometimes it seems like celebrities have such a great life but they have struggles just like everyone else.
