Wow... did NOT see this one coming.

[kateness87]

Yeah...random death much?

Really sad though. His poor family...:(

[Zomboid]

I honestly don't find this one too funny. I'm sure there will be some funny photoshopped pictures and stuff, but he's got a kid and he died really young. That's always a shame, no matter who you are.

[Jeff The Ninja]

At least he finished his work on the Dark Knight.

But yeah, this is sad.

The guy OD'ed. It's not like he got blindsided by a drunk driver while taking his kid to school. The guy knew what he was doing, except perhaps in regards to the dosage. Then again, they said it might be suicide, so maybe he knew that, too, and just didn't care about leaving his kid behind.


That said, how can you call something an "apparent suicide" if you're not sure about it?

[Fathom Zero]

Because it's apparent.

[Dr. Boogie]

Apparently not.

The story msn and yahoo are telling is that he was found naked with a bunch of sleeping pills around him. They briefly said it was owned by Mary-Kate Olsen but that is now covered up.

Autopsy is supposed to be tomorrow.

Most guys don't kill them selves while naked on sleeping pills.

The report I read just said that he was dead. If it was OD'ing, I agree with ya.

[ValientKid]

They just said he had amonia at the time. Not sure if sleeping pills and amonia have some kind of death combo to them.

[Emu]

Ammonia or pneumonia?

[JediScum]

from what i have read he didn't have either.

The story keeps changing, little by little.

First he's naked and dead with sleeping pills around him, in an apt.
Then the apt was owned by Mary-Kate Olsen.
Five minutes later, it wasn't.

Don't forget, he was found dead at 3:30
Then, he was found by someone who was reminding him about a massage appointment, who tried to shake a "naked man laying on the floor with sleeping pills around him" awake.

His autospy is tommorrow.

Upon, not awakening, he was said to have passed at 3:26 pm

Masturbation and MLK day are the causes, people, I'm telling you Wikipedia has all the answers

[JediScum]

That seems to gone now.

[Esuohlim]

Well yeah if you know anything about Wikipedia their editors are quick to revert pages back even if the information you put was correct

[JediScum]

msn must be like that too. That's where i first saw headline for Died in Mary-Kate Olsen's apt.

and yahoo seemed to copying the same story verbatim.

never checked aol... that might be a laugh.

[JediScum]

All jokes aside... did the coroner ever figure out what killed the guy?

[executioneer]

you dont need to be a coroner to know it was a drug overdose, but here's what internet-jerks.com says

"Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxycodone), hydrocodone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrocodone), diazepam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diazepam), temazepam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temazepam), alprazolam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alprazolam) and doxylamine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doxylamine). ... We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications,"
