Actor Heath Ledger Found Dead

[Bolt]

No offense but I would pretty much disregard everything that Mika or the news would have you believe. "Rumor has it" doesn't mean a damn thing at this point other than poor Heath flipping over lengthwise in his grave. People said the same **** for years after Bruce Lee died, trying to tie it into adultery, or coke use, or marijuana use, or yaa baa use, or bad karma, or any number of retarded scenarios invoked to bring about a sense of the mysterious or dramatic. I chalk it up to an unfortunate tragedy, in both cases, no need to propagate rumors. Case closed.

What ever, Doggy. I'll stand by my opinion because I happen to be knowledgeable in medication. There is just no way for a person to "accidentally" take so many narcotics without knowing the consequences.

I have to say that's not true. Drugs put you into an altered state of consciousness, where one may not be 'sharp enough' to remember when they took the pills, how long ago, etc. I only take birth control and I can't even remember to take it at the same time of day every day, and I'm no druggie. Stress will also have a major factor on memory. Given that at the time Heath was seeing a psychiatrist, was lacking sleep and stressed out, it's not hard to believe that it was an accident...and yes it could also be said that it's not hard to believe that it was suicide.

There have been pictures of him looking strung out so who knows.

To be fair, looking 'strung out' could be lack of sleep and stress too. And the media always lurk, waiting for the best/worst picture.

This is the third thread on the third forum that I've seen turn into flame war and a bunch of people assuming they know something they don't about someone's private life. I think it was an accident, but I don't know, and I have no way of knowing. None of us will. Bolt's right, just drop it already.

Alright guys..... I'm seeing a lot of people be pushy in here.

And this is a test for you.

Can you all be mature and civilized and walk away from this, respecting your fellow posters' opinions.... or do you wanna drag this thread down into flame crap so we come off as just any other message board?

So if Keith was seeing a legitimate doctor to get all those meds then he was well aware of the consequences of taking too much.

Suicide:
Well, At first I thought my theory that "The role of the Joker drove him crazy and forced him to kill himself...which means Joker has now graduated to killing people in the REAL WORLD" went out the door.

Accident:
But then I remember the Nicholson Joker with Batman talking about his plan "No...individually none of the chemicals are harmful, but when combined they form a toxin thats lethal..and traceable"

so Joker killed Heath Ledger with a plan that he was using almost 20 years ago! Bravo Clown Prince....Bravo.

There was an inside thing or Entertainment News or something that said that upon hearing that Ledger had landed the role of Joker, Nicholson warned him it would take a toll. I'm apt to believe that the psychological, mental, emotional, physical toll it took on him combined with drugs (the sleeping aids, etc.) probably somehow made this happen. I don't think it was a suicide, but I don't rule out the possibility.

Ledger had landed the role of Joker, Nicholson warned him it would take a toll.

That's so sad. :disappoin

 

[Doggy Kruger]

No, Nicholson didn't warn Ledger about the role of the Joker.
It was about the consequences of taking sleeping pills.

 

[MaraJade]

Ahh k, but both make sense. Either way, role of Joker plus pills, not a good combo. It is sad this happened; he was a great actor. ::Watches A Knight's Tale::

Bottom line: Everyone loses with this guy dead.

He was an awesome actor.
