Where did you get that report from? No reputable news stories are saying anything about heroin. He was apparently suffering from pneumonia, and a bottle of prescription pills were found near him. The autopsy is being done today, so there is no way that anyone can know what was in his bloodstream yet.

I hate these trashy reports that just make stuff up.

His parents only found out via the news.

Oh how sad, what a real tragedy, 28 years old and his whole life in front of him.

I hate it when reporters sensationalise things, I have not read about heroin either, just prescription medication close by.

:( he was amazing, I really loved his films and he was so talented.
Can't believe it, saw it on GMTV this morning and I was just so shocked.
R.I.P.

NO ****ING WAY !! i had to google it to believe it !!

I saw it on the news this morning as well so young and had a family,no one knows what goes through the minds of some people.My heart goes out to his family.

I do believe the story Ross posted was one of the breaking news reports on Sky News, a few hours after his death so it won't be on the Sky News site anymore.

Call me heartless but I really couldn't care less. People die every day and some are much younger than 28. No, they aren't well known but noone is ever shocked about those so I fail to be shocked about some actor.

Nevertheless, R.I.P Heath.

omg this is so terrible.

R.I.P :bawling:

This is what my mates have gone on about all day really, I think its sad a man so young has died, My friend said the apartment he died in was Mary Kate Olsens, i don't think thats true though.

R.I.P Heath.

Well the knowledge a one year old girl won't grow up with her doting father makes me sad regardless of whether he's famous, not famous, suicide, murder or drugs OD etc.

:sad: His death isn't less meaningless just because he's famous and other people aren't. If I heard the same about someone who wasn't famous I'd be sad.

He was an incredible actor.
I actually shed a few tears =[

r.i.p heath<3

I really can't believe it this is such a shock. I remember him in films like 10 things I hate about you one of my favourtie films actually with him in it. It really is a shame. I heard on the radio that his family said he wouldn't comit suicide but then again he might have been suffering from depression and no-body knew! It's a shame he was a very talented actor.
R.I.P Heath x :sad:

One of the few great actors of his generation. Rest in peace.

:sad:

I'm really shocked
R.I.P

I was in utter shock when I heard about this.

RIP Heath Ledger

I'm still in utter shock and disbelief! He was an amazing actor and such a gorgeous guy!
It still doesn't seem real, 'Heath Ledger Found Dead' to me doesn't seem a real sentence, its like someone has made a mistake!
Its so heartbreaking, i felt like crying when i found out!
His poor daughter!
RIP!

I really can't take it in! He's one of my absolute favourite actors!!!
I was so shocked when I heard. This is really depressing.

i just found out today, i was in shock or more to the fact i'm still in shock as he was a great actor who was just at the ripe of his acting career and he also had a daughter so why the hell was he even taking drugs when he had everything going for him anyways RIP heath you will be sadly missed xxx

Mate, you represented us Aussies. You were a great actor. RIP

They were sleeping tablets he was taking after finding his role in THe Dark Knight distressing, he wasn't a druggy! :rolleyes:

Really cant beleive this news,its so sad,I really feel for his little girl,wife and the rest of his family and friends.He was a great actor,i remember having to watch A knights tale once in our history lesson ,such a tragic accident must be so difficult to come to terms with.Its sucha a shock to everyone.
R.I.P:sad:

I just foun this!


Shekhar Kapur, the film director, said Ledger had made him "promise" the previous evening to call him in the morning so they could meet.


Watch: Fans and Hollywood stars pay their respects


But by the time Kapur made the call, the 28-year-old actor's body had been found in his loft apartment in Manhattan.

"I last spoke to him the night before he died," said Kapur, who directed the Australian actor in The Four Feathers.

"I had just arrived in New York [from London]. He said he could not see me that night but really wanted to meet me the next day.

"He made me promise that I would call him in the morning and wake him up. I tried. Little did I know that his soul had already left his body."
