Aussie Actor Heath Ledger Found Dead

I'm more angry that he carried on the way he did and basically killed himself, albeit not intentionally. Especially with such a bright future and a young child. The acceptance of this type of behavior is maddening. Talented? - absolutely,so what? He fucked up & now he's dead. All that talent wasted, just like Belushi, Candy, Hartman and several others.

Apparently he had pneumonia. It's possible it was an accidental overdose. People will know more tomorrow after the autopsy.

It's very sad that he's left behind a beautiful daughter, especially considering the way he spoke about her in interviews.

I still find it less surprising when a celeb dies of an OD, but that doesn't make the circumstances any less sad.
