Jan 23 2008Heath Ledger's family says it wasn't suicide

Heath Ledger's family, along with Heath's rep, are stating that Heath's death was accidental. A spokesperson for the NYPD also stated last night there was no "obvious indication of suicide." TMZ reports the NYPD's current operating theory is the death was an accident. An autopsy will be conducted later today, according to the Associated Press. The following statement was issued by the family:

We, Heath's family, confirm, the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda. He was found peacefully asleep in his New York apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30 p.m. U.S. time.

We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for their well wishes and kind thoughts at this time. Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him.

He was a down to earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and selfless individual who was extremely inspirational to many. Please now respect our families need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately.

The above picture was taken over the weekend on the set of Heath Ledger's latest film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. The film was being shot in London and many are speculating that Heath was suffering from jet lag when he arrived back in New York on Monday hence the prescription sleeping pills.

Before I get back to business as usual this morning, I'd like to offer my personal condolences to Heath Ledger's family and friends. Particularly his daughter Matilda Rose. Heath was a quiet guy, but he would always speak fondly of her. He was recently quoted as saying "I feel good about dying because I feel alive through her."

Heath Ledger 1979 - 2008.

UPDATE: The initial autopsy proved inconclusive, according to the AP.

If Pastor Phelps protested at the funeral of one of my loved ones I would punch him as hard as I could right in the face.

R.I.P.

I feel a lot sadder than I think I should, about this. R.I.P, Heath. And Bless your family, and especially your daughter.

It's too bad, I just recently got into him as an actor and was eager to see what was coming down the pipeline for him.

I'm really proud and happy that you put such a positive post like this; this guy deserved that above all else. Thanks for the awesome reminder of what a good guy he was. And that quote: just beautiful.

That was beautiful, Fish.

I've never seen this guy's work, but he seemed like a really nice person. RIP

FUCK! I'm so angry. The poor little kid....(tsk!).

List of those very talented who were taken too early by accident:

Heath Ledger
River Phoenix
Jeff Buckley
Grace Kelly
Jean Harlow
Aaliyah
Kurt Cobain (dammit, that was an accident I say!!!)
Brad from Sublime (OK, that was his fault but still...)

We are losing too many young people these days to the psychological stresses of a world that does not nuture the spirit. We here at Scietology offer a beacon of hope to the downtrodden and misdirected.
For info. on becoming an elite member of our orgainiztion you can leave me a response...I am here for you!

i second what #6 said. heath ledger always seemed like a loving, carefree guy and to hear that he died is truly sad. he was way too young to pass and he had a lot more in him. no matter what people say about brokeback being his "only hit" i think most people will remember him for his whole collection of work and how amazing his performance in batman:the dark knight will be when it comes out this summer.

He's one of the few actors that I could truly respect.

very very sad. he will be missed!

Either this "Scientology for you" guy's a brilliant jokester or a talking cunt who wants to sell you a $15,000 vibrator. You decide, America!

Anyone know where I can get that shirt?

this just really sucks. why couldn't it have been howard stern or something?

Ok, so we now find out the the Fish is run by Jake Gyllenhal. Boohoo, another dead millionaire. If I wept over every "nice guy" who died I would spend every waking minute crying. Good fathers die every day. What makes Heath's death more tragic than any other? The fact that his daughter will never have to work if she doesn't want? Someone get me a tissue.

also it seems weird that Kate Hudsons ex boyfriends either die or want to die.

Not to be insensitive, as surely this is all very sad, but doesn't this go to show just how doomed every Terry Gilliam production is to either suck (like his last two) or have everything go wrong during production (like his everything else)?

But yeah, Heath Ledger was just turning out to be a respectable actor, making a nice turnaround from all those "I'm Heath Ledger in a crappy movie only 13 year-old girls will like" movies. It's sad that this happened just as he was becoming truly successful and showing his staying power. Also, the 1 year-old daughter thing sucks too.

I never fancied him or saw any of his flicks. Then why am I rather sullen today?

Odd.

Perhaps it's because I have young children and feel deeply empathetic for Ledger's child. Even though I can at times be a callous cod, there is without a doubt truth to the fact that being a parent changes you and oils the soul with increased compassion.

Beautiful post, thank you.

Fish, that was a fantastic post. Normally I'd bitch at you for being all wimpy, but seriously, Heath deserved it. Thank you.

Heath... my God. So sad.
Ive been a fan for about 8 years now. I remember in middle school and high school, my friends and I would throw him a birthday party on April 4th every year. We'd bring balloons to school and cake and everything. Such good memories.

R.I.P. Heath. Shame to lose such a talented actor at such a young age.

R.I.P. Heath. You will be missed.

... just studying some of the pics of him on here and a couple udder sites.

(He WAS rather "Depp-ish", wasn't he...)

Looking forward - not morbidly; simply for interest's sake - to the autopsy results...

It's a shame. I was really starting to appreciate him as an actor.

if only the masseuse showed up ten minutes earlier for your appointment. i am very sorry, rest in peace.

Thanks for having the tact that TMZ seriously lacks. Generally, I come here for your witty lack of tact, but in this case, well done! :-)

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

I cant stop laughing about this...its hilarious!

what the hell is "U.S. time"?

Hope he lives in peace. I saw his profile on millionaire dating site WealthyRomance.com last Oct where Charlie Sheen found his new match last March. I will ask that webmaster to delete his profile.

Fuck you &31

Hey... "celeb"... (#31)... I hope you "live in peace" also.

Sweet Jesus.

How's the weather in Delhi?

let's put a smile on that face

Heath ledger's Joker sounds like Tom Cruise.. listen to the laughter

#10

not the time....i resent people who play on people's grief to furthur thier own causes. He's a young man that died in an accident. AC-CI-DENT. Sound it out. It's not some sign from Xenu.

We always mourn the loss of the young ones.

And speaking of Tom Cruise... isn't it sadly ironical that he continues to live and *gasp* thrive in some primitive, demented manner while seemingly quality folks like this Ledger fellow perish?

COME ON ASSHOLES!

Tear this guy apart like you would if it was SOME STUPID FEMALE letting herself OD.

You woman hating men CARE NOW?

I don't believe any of you A-holes that post here give a crap about ANYONE!

Mimi = on-the-rag.

#40 LOOOOL

A glorious future lies before all of mankind. Do not think so negatively about this time and this one life, although it is a pity. There are unknown souls all over the world at his very minute being lost forever and though they may not be rich and famous they are just as worthy.
At scientology we do not "act" as imposters, we act as in ACTION!
Act now before it is too late!

Those asshats from Westboro Baptist Church are going to be picketing Heath's funeral as well.

Chris Farley
Jim Morrison
Janis Joplin
Michael Hutchence

Just to name a few more.

Every motion every word with us has immediate intention. We are not acting, this is serious. It breaks our hearts to see anyone pass on that need not. LIfe is for living to the fullest. This young man is like so very many in these times. Worthout movement in the right direction - guidance!
We are here for all of you.

Heidi Montag and that Pratt douche bag she hangs with
Ryan Seacrest
Paula Abdul
Simon Cowel...screw it...EVERYONE from American Idol
J-Lo
Tom Cruise


Bollocks, this list could go on an on....finish it for me

Rest in Peace. Helluva actor and it seems a person too.

@43 and everyone else that isn't a homosexual bashing fuckwad. There is a phone number associated with this church saying Heath is in hell. Let's give them a little fun today, eh? Fuck, I hate ignorant fuckfaces..

#39 - mimi, blow me me.

This is so sad. I'm rarely touched by celebrities dying but when I found out yesterday I just got really sad. He was really at the prime of his career, many people were starting to really know who he is and respect him as an actor. So tragic.

Too many young people dying...just a week ago it was Brad Renfro also!

What a pity! I love him so much after seeing his movie. He is a handsome men. I am a big beautiful women who like to be pretty casual on the date. If you are interested in me, please contact me ASAP! i waitting for you! Find me "hotharry" on bbwconnect.com...

This is just so shocking. When I heard about it yesterday I was just crushed. I mean, he was so young. RIP Heath.

The news of this event makes me so sad. I really enjoyed the couple of movies of Heath Ledger's that I saw. He was a fine actor and by all accounts a decent human being. It sucks that his baby daughter will never know her daddy.

Anyone who can bash such a person is beneath contempt.

My condolences to his family, his daughter and Michelle.

R.I.P. Heath. You are missed already.

@39

Get off your soapbox you hairy cunt

Guys, I guarantee she's over 250 and wears sweatpants in August

He was a great Brooklynite, and though I never knew him he was always spoken of kindly by my friends who knew him personally.

Didn't know the guy personally, so I don't care. Probably just some stupid accident. Dumb fucker probably didn't count his pills. You know what isn't an accident? Those poor American Soldiers getting butchered in Iraq.

That is all on this dude.

thanks for such a lovely post. it feels like such a strange day, and how his family must be feeling i can't imagine.
what makes me sadder is that there a few people here who are still cynical enough to say they don't care that another rich actor died etc. and "boohoo" - it's not about how much money or fame they had, it's about a human life gone and a child left without a father, and the child having to grow up knowing that she never got to know him, while thousands of strangers got to really hear and see what he had to say while he was alive. she's too young to have conscious memories of his personality and it will seem so unfair that we did get to see some of his character while he was actually here. she will only get to look at footage and be told about him.
and #2 i totally agree. that pastor is sick. why do people like him get to live and spread their poison but people with something to offer have to die?

Good post regarding a depressing turn of events.

Why is that crazy church in Texas picketing Heath's funeral? I thought they only hated gay people, and as far as I know, Heath wasn't gay.

Those bastards at the Westboro church have been arrested before for picketing funerals, hopefully they show them no mercy this time. Lock them all up, the world would be better without them.

At least she has footage. Those dead soldiers kids might only have a snapshot. Just a thought.

I also totally agree with you on that pastor.

39 - mimi. FAT girls name.

Hey sweetharry:

You really are a prick to use someones death to promote your fucking identity stealing websites. It's YOU that should have died.

Picketing @ a funeral? Those backward Baptists can kiss my pimpled crack.

God did/does not hate homosexuals. He loves and accepts all. Ignorant men did/do all the condemning.

Sodomy was quite the faux-pas in biblical times, remember, kidz. When the bible was writ - by men - it merely reflected sociological norms at the time.

Why... is... this... so... hard... to... comprehend?

(TCLTC.)

i also always come here for your refreshingly tactless and wiener-centric posts, fish, but it truly was nice to see you honor him with your words. i wasn't even a huge heath ledger fan, but it really does make me sad to see someone so young and talented die - and by accident, too.

also, good move by not getting sucked into the minute-by-minute rumor mill that was going on over at TMZ yesterday afternoon and instead putting out a clean, concise post on the matter.

Hey #45:

Have you spoken with the aliens yet?

Can you say "Jonestown"??

I'd be far more inclined to picket/boycott the electronic toilet paper that is "TMZ" than someone's funeral.

Hey #42:

You're a fucking nutjob like your mentor Tom Cruise and his robot wife.

Can you say "Jonestown"??

Too bad ... I actually liked him as an actor ... kinda like a modern Johnny Depp

I just saw on CNN that the coroner found a vile of plutonium lodged in Heath's rectum!

Could it be Ledger was a double-agent, secretly working for both the former Soviet Union, and the United States?

The coroner also said that Heath 'showed a remarkable amount of estrogen in his testicles', as well.

IM PULLING THE BULLSHIT CARD OUT ON THIS ONE. IM SO SICK OF HEARING ACTORS AND ACTRESSES IN THERE 20'S WHO ACCIDENTALLY OVERDOSED. THATS A LOAD OF CRAP. IF YOU TAKE MORE THAN THE RECOMMENDED DOSE WHICH IS ALWATS WRITTEN ON THE DAMN BOTTLE THEN ITS NOT AN ACCIDENT UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

59 THEY ARE NOT FROM TEXAS THEY ARE FROM KANSAS. THEY HAVE A WEB SITE TOO ITS GODHATESFAGS.COM AND IM NOT KIDDING ITS A REAL SITE. THEY PICKET MOSTLY MILITARY FUNERALS. I KNOW BECAUSE IM A MARINE WIFE AND THEY CAME TO QUANTICO VA WHEN WE WERE STATIONED THERE.

#71 What??? You HAVE to take more than the reccommended dose for stuff to work. Do you think HALF a xanax is going to keep me from killing people in the parking lot?? No...which is why I take a whole. God, get a grip!!

#72 that is, god it was 71 a second ago...fricken site..

Oh, but 71? do you mean vial or vile?

Shame on you people who are using this man's death to spread your pathetic hate.

@ #18 You should be truely ashamed of yourself. So what is Matilda "will never have to work if she doesn't want". She'll be growing up without a father. Do you have ANY idea what that's like? Money has NOTHING to do with that.

I think it's sad that you guys are making fun of this. Death is sad, whether it is an actor or someone in our everyday life. It's especially sad because he seemed like a really nice guy, was very talented, and had a young daughter. I just can't wrap my mind around it.

zsa

I meant 'vile'. Yeah, it's absolutely vile what that plutonium did to Heath's poor body.

No, I meant 'bile'. It's absolutely bile what that plutonium did to Heath's poor body.

No, wait! I meant, 'Lyle Lovett'. It's absolutely Lyle Lovett what that plutonium did to Heath's poor body.

Good God, you guys have a problem with the fact that Matilda might never have to work?? Do you know how many people, young people, will never have to work because their family has money? It isn't rare in this country, and certainly not her fault. She's just two years old for God's sake, she didn't choose her parents. I'm certain she'd trade money to have known her father long enough to remember him. You guys should truly be ashamed of yourselves.

zsa

Oh, yeah and Frist, don't you ever call me out again.

Or I'll be forced to tell everybody what your real age is (elderly).

How the fuck does his family know if it was suicide or not? Successful suicides don't go around tellling the entire fucking world I'm going to go kill myself......
And this entire autopsy report......was there A LOT of drugs in his system or was there not a lot of drugs in his system...just ones that didn't mix well? Jesus, you don't have to be Quincy M.E. to figure that out.

I'll miss Heath. He seemed like the brother I never had. I loved him in all his movies, but especially Brokeback. I can't believe how mean and harsh and rumor-mongering people are being, after he died tragically. But I'm ignoring that, and offering this elegy instead:

I like big butts and I cannot lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she's wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But with that butt you got makes me feel so horny
Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
You say you wanna get in my Benz?
Well, use me, use me
'Cause you ain't that average groupy
I've seen them dancin'
The hell with romancin'
She's sweat, wet,
Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' flat butts are the thing
Take the average black man and ask him that
She gotta pack much back
So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
Shake that healthy butt!
Baby got back!

(LA face with Oakland booty)
Baby got back!

I like 'em round, and big
And when I'm throwin' a gig
I just can't help myself, I'm actin' like an animal
Now here's my scandal
I wanna get you home
And ugh, double-up, ugh, ugh
I ain't talkin' bout Playboy
'Cause silicone parts are made for toys
I want 'em real thick and juicy
So find that juicy double
Mix-a-Lot's in trouble
Beggin' for a piece of that bubble
So I'm lookin' at rock videos
Knock-kneeded bimbos walkin' like hoes
You can have them bimbos
I'll keep my women like Flo Jo
A word to the thick soul sistas, I wanna get with ya
I won't cuss or hit ya
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna *fuck*
Til the break of dawn
Baby got it goin' on
A lot of simps won't like this song
'Cause them punks like to hit it and quit it
And I'd rather stay and play
'Cause I'm long, and I'm strong
And I'm down to get the friction on
So, ladies! {Yeah!} Ladies! {Yeah}
If you wanna role in my Mercedes {Yeah!}
Then turn around! Stick it out!
Even white boys got to shout
Baby got back!

Baby got back!
Yeah, baby ... when it comes to females, Cosmo ain't got nothin'
to do with my selection. 36-24-36? Ha ha, only if she's 5'3".

So your girlfriend rolls a Honda, playin' workout tapes by Fonda
But Fonda ain't got a motor in the back of her Honda
My anaconda don't want none
Unless you've got buns, hun
You can do side bends or sit-ups,
But please don't lose that butt
Some brothers wanna play that "hard" role
And tell you that the butt ain't gold
So they toss it and leave it
And I pull up quick to retrieve it
So Cosmo says you're fat
Well I ain't down with that!
'Cause your waist is small and your curves are kickin'
And I'm thinkin' bout stickin'
To the beanpole dames in the magazines:
You ain't it, Miss Thing!
Give me a sista, I can't resist her
Red beans and rice didn't miss her
Some knucklehead tried to dis
'Cause his girls are on my list
He had game but he chose to hit 'em
And I pull up quick to get wit 'em
So ladies, if the butt is round,
And you want a triple X throw down,
Dial 1-900-MIXALOT
And kick them nasty thoughts
Baby got back!

Little in the middle but she got much back.

Wasn't he dating Kate Hudson? At least Owen Wilson made it out alive. Barely.

@79

>>"Do you know how many people, young people, will never have to work because their family has money?"

And do you know how many young people have lost their fathers? More than will never have to work because their family has money.

So what makes this celebrity rug rat so special?

#80 did you mean Frist, or FRIST!!!

#80. I meant 'Fist'. As in your buttochs.

Why am I so ass oriented today? Must be Heath Ledger.

I am so glad that they set all jokes aside for this one. For some reason this one is harder then the other self destructive celebs out there. He was a promising actor and he was out of the public, this one was very very sad!
My heart goes out to his child and his ex; this has got to be hard for his whole family.

Aww, DR loves me!!!

We'd also like to say that we're truly sorry for doing such a piss-poor job of raising him. As his family - especially, his parents - we regret that he was unable to put aside drugs (heroin) and other shallow pleasures (trying to date useless shallow celebrity women) to take proper care of the child that he helped to create, through his own free will. Our hope had been to find a way to convert him, even in adulthood, into a responsible person like everybody else who has to earn a weekly paycheck and help to raise children every night. But our time ran out. Our apologies go out to his daughter and to all of you who, for reasons we cannot fathom, seem to worship him (was it the bum-piercing sensitivity and fragility he showed in that one movie? it was, wasn't it? you know he was just acting, right? he liked drugs and sex with girls, don't let anybody tell you he was a practicing homo like Tom Cruise).

Hey zsa?

Because this kid's dad died now, she'll be able to "remember" him fondly, not as the absentee, fucked up, womanizing pig he most certainly would have been as she got older.

Dead dads = saints. Alive dads = every other weekend with a different girlfriend.

God DAMN that commish can throw down some gospel!

#55: "Guys, I guarantee she's over 250 and wears sweatpants in August"

Jesus, who's the woman hater now? Calm yourself.

Mimi, I doubt most of us are half as callous as we pretend to be on these posts. As I told Auntie Kryst, this is kind of like a role playing game - we've all created these characters and behave appropriately. While we may act like assholes here, most of us really do care about people in real life, and it's hard to keep up the pretense of hard heartedness when something tragic like this happens, especially when a child is involved.

As for the spammers who insist on using a story like this to sell your services, you make me sick. Bad enough you use this site to peddle your crap to us, but even the biggest bastard knows not to do so under a post like this. Maybe you should just hand out advertising leaflets at Heath's funeral. Would be just as appropriate ...

#71 - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Poor guy dead. I hear he have many spirit friends at ghostromance.com. I'll right in too make sure he is him, but I have to dying first.

#94 - Hey ghostromance:

Commish,

You have NO clue as to what he WOULD HAVE done. No one does. What right do you have to judge someone on actions that they have not even taken?

And you know there may be some truth to your statement "Dead dads = saints. Alive dads = every other weekend with a different girlfriend." The second part should be deadbeat dads. Real fathers don't do that shit. They father. I've lived this situation-lost my mother, abandoned by my father. And yes, he's a real piece of shit, and though I'd like to romanticize my mother, I don't. She was no saint.

#96 - Hush up Michelle... you got served like a cafeteria.

First of all, RichPort, Commish wasn't addressing me. Second, served like a cafeteria? Yeah, ok.

Huch up is something I tell my 5 year old. It's a public forum and I have the right to say as I please just as you have the right to come up with lame lines.

Who's Killing the Fag-actors.

Heath Ledger is found dead of an apparent drug overdose in the bedroom of an apartment in New York City, a week after Brad Renfro is found dead of an apparent drug overdose in the bedroom of his apartment in Los Angeles. Both young actors gained acclaim for roles in controversial gay-themed films-- Ledger in the Academy Award-nominated Brokeback Mountain, and Renfro in Apt Pupil, Bryan Singer's Nazi movie that led to lawsuits by underage male extras who claimed they were forced into nudity. Sadly, They Die in Threes, so we await the next Marilyn Monroe-Anna Nicole style death of a young, talented male actor.

#98

I'm talking to you now, poor abandoned half orphan.

"Real fathers don't do that shit. They father" (sic)

Yep, they father. As in breed. Breed with stupid people. Create little stupid people like you. Your very much alive father abandoned you and you didn't get to spend every other weekend with a new "aunt"?

Would you like your lunch tray shoved up your ass with ketchup or mustard?

#100 why don't you shove it up yer own ass, geeawd!!!

#98 - Michelle, I was too busy wondering what the fuck got into you to be funny. I figured I'd keep my humor at your grade level. And now she addressed you like a fucking envelope. HA! I kill me...

Wow, insulting a complete stranger over something they had no control over. Sounds like somebody has some issues about THEIR childhood.
It would be awesome for you if your words cut me, but it's the type of ignorance that just makes me roll my eyes. No, that's not true. Makes me feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with you, envelopes, and lunch trays. Wait, who's is the stupid human. Do yourself a favor and get some help.
The point is that this is a human being and it amazes me that people belive that they can know what another may think or feel or what they may do. It's ridiculous if you ask me.

No, Britney will live forever. Like a cockroach. Now that's a parent who deserves the barbs being thrown at Heath Ledger.

Sad to hear about his death....another promising individual taken away from us too soon!

buon viaggio heath.

buon viaggio heath.

I hope those crazy homophobic funeral picketers have a lot of frequent flyers because I strongly doubt Heath's funeral will be in America. He's from Perth, Western Australia.

#60 yes, i agree - that is true what you say about the children of soldiers but i was talking about his child as an individual and separate case. my point was that the footage, while invaluable, is still somewhat salt in the wound because he is still either portraying someone else, or being his public self if it was an interview, so she still won't be seeing her father - who he was to her and no one else. i get your point though. still that's all way ahead. the immediate tragedy is shocking enough.

Bunny Darling, services are offered when the brave step forward to those left behind, so they will not be left behind in our memories but will live on. Scientology teaches us that bad memories must be confronted before our mental energies are diminished by spiritual forces beyond our control. This young man would have still been with us if a stalwart member of our church been there and he here ...with us.
Bunny I come not to grieve but to offer a prayer so that the same fate will not await you and yours.

I can tell you why we propose sympathy (or lack thereof) for these actors that die. Actors influence people on a much larger scale than your average father or family figure. These people are role models, whether good or bad, but are known nationally, usually even globally. That's why we hear about them. It's not as if anybody here knew him personally or really even has a great deal of sympathy for him or his family. It's always sad to hear about the death of another, even if they aren't known to you. There are those who don't care, you're right, but they don't belong posting filth of any sort or taking advantage of an unfunny situation to peddle their services or worthless goods. If you want to play devil's advocate solely for the purpose of riling a crowd, do it somewhere else at your own expense. All that we can do is represent a small tribute to his family and loved ones, fans, and coworkers. R.I.P.

Amazing...Scientology, like all religions, promises THEY have the solutions...if you walk with them. That's not the kind of God or higher power or whatever I want. That's a selfish, "god"...not a loving God. Me me me...whatever.

HL dying isn't any more sad than anyone else's death...but being popular, he's known to us. People do die every day. But someone we know doesn't die every day.

Odd that it's so hard for y'all to understand.

Must be the extra small brains....or the desire to be 'against' whatever everyone else is 'for'.

the scientology talk is getting tired. i'm a christian, and i'm not on this post talking about how if i had been there with my bible he wouldn't have died because i could have taught him about jesus's love. the real tradgedy of heath ledgers death is that he has crackpots going on about how this is a lesson to the world about how scientology is the way to live, and if they had been there he could have been living today. talk like that confuses little kids, when they are old enough to ask why thier daddy isn't around anymore.bad things happen, people move on and do the best they can with the situation given to them. didn't your mother ever tell you not to speak ill of the dead?

Dick loves no one, Frist!

Except himself. And of-course his buttplugs.

You know I'm fucking with you. Not the buttplugs, though. Much variety!

Fuck off Sci-Fi looney. Scientology is a money making machine, L. Ron Hubbard said it himself, so what gives? Xenu took your brains out?

R.I.P. Keith. Why do the good ones always go so early, I guess even God doesn't want rotten people, a.k.a. Tom Cruise.

#124? 'Speak ill of the dead'? I wipe with the bible. What you talkin' 'bout?

P.S. Yes, the whole bible.

P.S.S. Nobody cares if you're christian; especially me. It's just too bad I can't serve you a steaming pile of hell, with a side of Satan. It's on a bagel?

I live in Chicago and work at the Weber Grill downtown. Heath came in this summer while Batman was filming and was a perfect gentleman. He was respectful to our staff and enjoyed a meal by himself on a quiet summer afternoon. My manager was so nervous/overjoyed to meet him that he used a large beverage tray to bring Heath's single Coke to the table. He also gave Heath his business card with the check , and when Heath left, the card wasn't in the check presenter. I thought that was a very sweet gesture for a famous Hollywood actor to take a restaurant manager's business card, where as someone else would have just thrown a $50 in there and taken off. And he tipped very well, too, which is always a large indicator of someone's character. :)

Bless your soul and rest in peace, Heath.

I honestly hope the people who write "first" and "second" on this site are under the age of 15. If not you should be sufficated in your own feces for having no IQ at all.

On a brighter note why don't you dumb asses shut up and get a life of your own. Is your life that sad that you have to gossip about people you don't even know anything about?

This site is home to the scum of the earth. Brought to you by vain piles of shit all across the globe. I approve of this message.

The difference between our religions are that yours is old mostly dead and mine is young and vibrant! We have fresh words, not those recited from an ancient bible. We speak anew of the dawn of each and every day - each and every golden ray a chance of hope and learning and caring towards an infinity of tomorrows...one day living the eternity at a time!

D. Richards, sir, you sound a confused and lost soul drowning in the intoxication of your troulbles - perhaps a multitude of them - no disrespect intended to you. A person like yourself is like a fruit on the sunny side of the Tree of LIfe - to be ripened or rotted - the time is now for the picking so that your soul falls not to the ground to lay awaste.

I would like to assist you, sir. Let us talk.
With respect and concern,
"YOUR" Scientologist (I am here for you)

Hey, agh, #130? You know what's really 'confusing'? When people say something 'sounds' over the internet. I mean, are you that cat-like, you can hear my fury through the computer? Yes!

You've got the reflexes of a panther; a gay panther; in a beautiful sequenced scientology space suit. On the ass of your pretty-little space suit -- yeah, it's the face of L. Ron.

P.S. Go fuck yourself, thief. How much money have you spent on your bullshit scientology lifestyle? Thousands, and thousands. Be honest, you've been part of scientology for what, two, three weeks? Hey, schemes.

To the scientologist:

Ok, young and vibrant, so it has to be true, right? It can't just be some stupid shit that some dude who was batshit crazy made up for the hell of it.

Just because something is new, doesn't mean that it's the way to go-hullo, NEW COKE...

You should take your Alien crap somewhere else. No one here is interested.

Kindest sir, I must apologize if in any way I served offense. You seem to be as we say at church, in a precarious state of impending mental collapse. I am trying to offer my services to you as one of the curious to somewhat of the anomalous as I see your perspective. Again this is merely contructive based upon my extensive experiences with stessed personages.
Your angst is palpable, your onerous state of mind leaks out to me like tears from a frightened child. Let us nurture you back to health! Ease all those worrisome thoughts of yours to complacency and solitude.
Good day sir.
Respectfully your Scientologist

#133? You got me and you are absolutely correct. Where do I send my check?

I don't need a receipt either. Actually, I don't even need any help, per se. Paying makes good.

That's a pretty rad routine you got going there. Scientologist. Funny.

Listen buddy I am starting to lose my "cool" as you people say. It's one thing to admit you need help and another to hurt the Helper.
You can swallow my my Xenusian jism mutherfucker I have had it with you making fun of me. I came to this organisation myself after a nervous breakdoen I had 4 years ago and I was cleared and shown the path to higher consciousness. This is not something to mock.
I will bend you over the auditing table and let you lick my big daddy Xenu's space cream out of the end of my thick thetan stick!
Fuck you and fuck all of you superficialists.

Nervous breakdown number two coming right up.

Teegeeack is not the HUMAN name for earth. There is a secret archive that only the higher level initiates are privy to regarding the ancient language structure of various alien tongues.
There are various misconceptions about the lore of the elders here. For insance, when Mr. Hubbard spoke of DC-8 like craft this was not meant in a literal manner please understand. Don' forget that most of our aviation technological breakthroughs are directly attributable to recovered alien articfacts.
There are cultures on this earth from long ago that we can only compare what we know of ourselves to not of what we really know of them is essence.
Scientology is alive and now and here for all of you in a laguage clear and true for all understand without translation and archeological misinterpretation.
The truth glistens like morning sunlight on the dewy leaves of the Tree of Life. There are leaves that have fallen to the ground. How can we discern sunlight from them? Life is an awareness of the alive, not the fallen.
Respectfully, YOUR Scientologist

To some people: If you don't have anything good to say about Heath, don't say anything. Whatever the cause of his death, give him a break, i mean, he's dead already.

#10 - you suck donkey balls.
#19 - I was just sayin' to someone that Kate Hudson future boyfriends better beware...,
#135 - Aheh heh...i see yr havin' another nervous breakdoen...and you still suck donkey balls.
