Not trying to be a jerk, but I wonder if playing the Joker like, messed him up somehow? The Wikipedia article on the movie mentioned that he basically locked himself in a hotel room for a month trying to "get into" the character, he stopped being able to sleep for more than an hour at a time, etc... I mean, it's possible he was drug addled and crazy before doing that, but I can't imagine it helped.

interesting note...

Actors often fuck up their lives in order to get in character, not necessarily in a deadly fashion, but still, so I guess this is a possible thought.

Wow. RIP

And that's been stated numerous times in this thread...and again by you and the post after yours. I wonder how many people will still come into this thread and state how they hope it doesn't mean no Dark Knight or a new Joker.

Some people really need to learn how to read...at least a FEW posts in a thread. :roll:

I feel sorry for his daughter; it's going to be tough on her.

I agree, I sent a PM about this. perhaps the OP should be updated to assuage the insignificant fears of the geeks....

WTF is wrong with people? Why would you want to overdoes yourself, leaving your daughter behind? The fame, the money, it was all there. What's with some successful people having mental toughness that of teaspoon?

RIP Heath, you dumbass

The story I read on Yahoo stated police said drugs may have been a factor.

Agreed 1000%
I don't get why this happens with such frequency. He had everything in the palm of his hand and fucking blew it.

The Times article appears to point towards suicide.

They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play. Officials said pills fear found near the body.

I know I'm an inhuman monster or whatever, but if this was suicide, I feel a lot less sorry for the guy. What the hell was so unbearable about his life?

money + success does not equal happiness.

depression is a monster that very few understand.

Anybody know if he had a drug history or problem in the past?

Edit: Just finished the thread. Apparently that was already reported. Sorry.

RIP Heath...

That's pretty shitty, he had at least a dozen more good movies in him. RIP

Seriously...I'm surprisingly saddened by this. I think its because I really respected his talent and feel like he will never achieve his full potential now.

What you should take from this is that "having everything" doesn't necessarily make you happy. It (depression) affects people from all social and economic backgrounds.

Ugggg... this is like people who frickin' win the lottery and completely blow it afterwards.

I'm having a very hard time finding sympathy for Ledger, even though he was hardly a celebrity whom I despised. I just feel bad for anyone who depended on him. Fame and money out the whazoo... just to die from drugs.

But to be fair, we might not have the whole story. Maybe getting into the Joker character screwed him up big time in the head? Or something else? Depression from something traumatic that happened in his life completely unrelated and un-fixable by money?

I think what's most shocking is nobody expected this from Heath, he always seemed like a really cool down-to-earth guy.

My Internet connection is currently working at 1992-speeds and most sites aren't working right. In case I missed it in the thread - has it been confirmed as a suicide? I thought it was an accidental overdose.

Nothing has yet been confirmed yet, be it a suicide or an OD...
