And I'm Sure The View From Heaven Beats The Hell Out Of Mine Here
....I was waiting for this
An article on Heath Ledger called "The Killing Joke"
http://inhome.rediff.com/movies/2008/jan/23rs.htm
They're suggesting that his role as the Joker and what he put himself through to prepare for him might of led to his death. :x What the hell? That's just...special. Not to mention there's no proof that it was suicide yet. He wouldn't be the first person to accidentally overdose. It's more common than you think. Especially with sleeping pills. Sometimes, after the first dose, if it doesn't work right away, people will be really out of it and keep taking more, and then overdose. Without having meant to do so at all. It does happen. And Ambien, the sleeping pill he was taking, is known to do funny shit to people.
I don't know what I'm getting so upset about this. It's just...everyone seems to be jumping to conclusions before an autopsy is even out. Really, at this stage and time, all we know is that he died, and that a pill bottle that wasn't even empty was near his bed. That's it.
I guess I shouldn't be so upset about this. I can't help it though. He was one of my very favorite actors. I had been a huge fan of his ever sine I first saw "Ten Things I Hate About You" over ten years. "A Knight's Tale" is probably still one of my favorite films of all time. His performance in "Brokeback Mountain" was one of the most moving I had seen in a long time. He seemed perfect for Ennis, and I say this having actually read the original short story. So yes, I'm very upset about his death. And yes, I know, he's "just a celebrity" but I guess to me, he was a little more, you know?
