I agree-- it's just one of those shock moments--I remember loving him in Ten Things I Hate About You-- and just now it's gone...
My parents always used to talk about this star or that singer dying from overdoses and stuff in the 70's and all. And it happens now, even--
but Heath Ledger was not one of the ones I'd ever think would go that route. I'm hoping it was accidental somehow? *sighs* but it doesnt seem like it and they're ruling out foul play....
Yeah, the first thing I thought when they described the scene was that he must have killed himself, which is so weird, because Britney Spears has been trying to kill herself forever and it hasn't worked. I mean, I'm seriously waiting for her to die and then someone I totally didn't expect did it instead. *shakes head*
I guess he did break up with his wife only a year ago...but he'd been doing really well with some new movies in production. So, I don't get it...he must have been really depressed.
if I really think about it, I think the person who would really surprise me the most with an early suicide would be someone like Toby Maguire. I mean, if that guy kills himself, I'll start believing the world has really gone insane.

So sad...
