#2 According to National Review, he admitted in an interview that playing the character of The Joker (a psychopath if ever there was) in the latest Batman movie was psychologically stressful for him. If it turns out (as it seems) that he destroyed himself because of some sort of mental illness, that would be truly sad.

#4 gonna miss not seeing Knights Tale 2.
mourning show had all sorts of excuses for him - it was an accident, the roles he played, too wound up, he wanted freedom but was married and working, a disturbed man who got into acting to get out of cooking class, etc. That and every other clip mentioned was about 'the brooding gay cowboy'.

oh, I see the coffee is done..

#5 I've seen the first 10 minutes of the new Batman movie, and the Joker as portrayed by Ledger is a no-holds psychopath; truly disturbing.

It'll be weird watching him in that movie this July.

#7 Besides the multi RX combination of Ambien and valium reported, they also found a rolled up $ bill with white powder next to his naked body as he awaited the massage therapist...and the maid called Mary Kate Olson's bodyguard before calling 911! Just another salacious tale of celebrities Gone Wild.

#8 RIP. Of course, the Westboro Baptist ~~Cult~~ Church plans on protesting his funeral, since he wuzza "fag" in that Brokeback flick (which I had absolutely no interest in seeing). Apparently, the Cultists don't understand, he was an ACTOR, ACTING. F*cking pub-seeking morons. Maybe now the lefties will allow *someone* to apply frontier justice upside the heads of the WBC?

#10 Re the "accidental death" reports: that can't be determined until toxicology tests are completed. Depending on the waiting list, that could take a couple of months. There are hearsay reports that Ledger had pnemonia when he died. Sounds unlikely because that condition requires intense treatment with anti-biotics, which wouldn't be compatible with known treatment that he was taking for "insomnia." (Apparently he admitted that problem to friends.) He earned $6 million in total for the last 2 released movies; he received more for "Batman." Career concerns are an unlikely cause for any mood disorder. Wait until the Coroner looks at the Medical Investigator' reports. Police will have their own report on anything that might have motivated either an overdose or lethal mixing on drugs.
