Ok so i just heard the news that Heath Ledger died this morning. He was 28 and appearently died of a percrisption drug overdose. He was found this morning in his SOHO apartment by his housekeeper.

Ok so this is really sad, i thought i would share this with everyone. I mean he's 28, has success, why would he want to do something like this?

It's sad, definitely.

Prescription drugs are dangerous. A lot of people die from overdosing on them.

About a week ago, my cousin died the same exact way, found in his apartment dead.
It is really sad, but it just goes to show you, that you never really know anybody and how they feel inside.

Prescription drugs are indeed dangerous. I think it's a shame (as always with incidents like this) that the media will be spouting all kinds of rubbish about this person. Who knows what's happened - best to wait for the truth, if ever we get it.

I'm so sorry Cassie.

You know, it is a tragedy, he was a young man with a bright future and a young child. But that said, it's no more a tragedy than some everyday person who dies needlessly too.
