Heath Ledger: Things We Don’t Know About You
THE grim news of Heath Ledger’s death at least has one positive note: it gives the tabloid press something important to talk about. You can’t libel the dead. But you can talk about their drugs…
And you can ruin their funerals. You should see this…

Ledger said of his daughter: “It’s like a Catch 22 – I feel good about dying now because I feel like I’m alive in her”

Have any of them got around to mentioning that the autopsy was inconclusive yet?
We have another 10 days of this before the lab results get back.
Just as well they’re not using the FSS…

The comment about Perth is right though….. It’s the back end of nowhere.

I was born in the back end of nowhere. That’s no reason to die once you’ve made it to New York.

His real name is Heathcliff Andrew Ledger. I’ve read once that Heath was named after Heathcliff of Wuthering Heights and I think this is the truth; it can’t be a coincidence that his sister is called Catherine after Catherine ALSO in Wuthering Heights and who was Heathcliff’s love. At the end of the novel, Heathcliff was happy to finally reunite with the love of his life Catherine whose ghost kept on haunting him while he was still on Earth. May Allah grant him mercy, forgive him, protect him from hell and send him to paradise.

It seems a little redundant to me to be asking why or what ‘killed’ Heath Ledger. What is important is that he has gone, tragically and to soon. The cause of death when it comes, will be expected by some, and will shock others, and will no doubt be spashed every where in a media frenzy.
I wonder how his family feels reading all this hear say and speculation, I know I would be heart broken.
