<p>I know not all people may agree with this, and may have not appreciated the movie, I thought he was outstanding in Brokeback Mountain. So sad… so much talent gone.</p>
<p>What?? Do you have a link?</p>

<p>I am shocked! and so sad!</p>
<p>My D will be crushed. Too bad, seemed like a good fellow.</p>
<p>the apartment he was found in is said to be owned by mary-kate olsen</p>
<p>I feel so sorry for his daughter. I always thought her name, Matilda, referred to Australia, where he was from, as in “Waltzing Matilda.” I wondered what happened between him and Michelle Williams.</p>
<p>We keep bleeding these wonderful, young actors. Really sad.</p>
<p>It is a tragic loss. He was excellent in Brokeback. Talented. Young. Sad. </p>
<p>My D lives in that general area and recently performed in a club in the area and told me that Heath Ledger was in the audience that night (as was Lindsay Lohan). I guess he also was living in that area of the city. </p>
<p>So much tragedy in the news.</p>
<p>My younger D has seen “The Patriot” about 25 times because of Heath Ledger - she will be crushed to hear of the news, but it will be Mom lesson-teaching time if it is fact drug-related…</p>
<p>It is too early to know the cause of death. One article says that the pills found on the bed were over-the-counter sleeping pills. IF that is the cause, that tends to be a method for suicide but not necessarily indicative of someone who does drugs. Too soon of course.</p>
<p>I’m so sorry to read this news. He was an exceptionally talented young actor.</p>
<p>He was extremely talented and absolutely amazing in Brokeback. My friends and I are planning on watching one of his movies tonight. </p>
<p>I believe he was subletting the apartment from Olsen. I don’t think she was living there or anything like that.</p>
<p>We always called him Heaf Wedgeh, because my daughter loved him in Knight’s Tale, and, and, well, um, I don’t know why. Very very sad. Huge talent. I was fond of him, as one can become fond of actors. I was looking forward to his career.</p>
<p>So very sad. He was a very talented actor and, by all accounts, a very nice young man. My niece was a neighbor to him and Michelle and their adorable daughter in Brooklyn last year, and all who met him in the community enjoyed his company.</p>
<p>mythmom, I agree with you. Fame at a young age is not as glamourous as many think, and is often a killer, sometimes literally.</p>
<p>In Manhattan (not far from NYU campus)</p>
<p>Possible drug overdose (sleeping pills)</p>
<p>He was 28 and the father of a 2 year old.</p>
<p>What makes people do that???</p>

<p>No cause of death has been determined yet. Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves.</p>
<p>There is already a post on this topic, though: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/452549-heath-ledger-dies.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/452549-heath-ledger-dies.html</a></p>
<p>As of now, you still have time to delete this post so that we don’t have duplicate postings.</p>
<p>OMG, he’s too young!
I remember him in “Knight’s Tale”. This is really a great cap on an otherwise miserable day. How sad.</p>
<p>When my boys were younger, A Knight’s Tale was one of their favorites. Ledger was just so handsome and dashing in that movie. It’s a terrible shame.</p>
