ACTOR HEATH LEDGER IS FOUND DEAD !!!!!!!
HE HAD BEEN BATTLING A VICIOUS BOUT OF DEPRESSION
"I guess you're forced into kind of respecting yourself more, you learn more about yourself through your child, I guess. It's like a catch 22. I feel good about dying now because I feel like I'm alive in her. But at the same time, you don't want to die because you want to be around for the rest of her life."
OMG! when I read news like that I just "hope" it's another sick joke of the internet .... unfortunately this is a serious news :-(
:: Australian born actor Heath Ledger, 28, the co-star of the Oscar-winning movie "Brokeback Mountain," was found dead in his New York residence. The New York Times said Ledger was discovered by the housekeeper and a masseuse who arrived in the afternoon for an appointment.
:: Ledger, who was nominated for a best actor Oscar for his portrayal of a gay cowboy in the 2005 film Brokeback Mountain had separated from his former fiancee Michelle Williams in September. The pair has a two-year-old daughter.
:: Cause of death still unknown but speculation is drug overdose...
:: Heath Ledger's family rejected any suggestion that the actor killed himself "We, Heath's family, can confirm the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda".
:: Heath Ledger had been battling a vicious bout of depression. “Heath was living in New York to be close to his daughter. But he hardly ever ventured out anymore.” Jake Gyllenhaal has been worried about him for months. And he knew Heath was sinking further into a depression. Jake is Matilda’s godfather, and he and Heath had become really close since they did the film Brokeback together.
:: The sleeping pills Heath Ledger was reportedly taking have been embroiled in controversy in Australia, where hundreds have had bizarre and potentially dangerous reactions to the drug.
OMG! How did it happend!!!
