UPDATED - Another Rising Gone - Heath Ledger Dead

Update - I wanted to give a quick update on the news of Ledger's sad and untimely death. If you have not heard, a autopsy was done on Ledger that was inconclusive. A toxicology report is going to be done and the results will be back in few weeks. I hope it turns out to be negative and it was just an accidental overdose of sleeping pills or something like that.

Heath Ledger's death has touched so many people and everyone that new him or enjoyed his work has been deeply saddened by his passing.


Original Post

Another sad week in Hollywood. Actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in his Manhattan apartment. It looks like it was a possible drug overdose. Ledger is the star of such movies as the awesome Brokeback Mountain, A Knight's Tale and the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight. He was 28 and the father of one, as he and Michelle Williams had a daughter together.

I really liked Ledger as a actor. He was great in Brokeback Mountain and I was and still am really looking forward to seeing him as the Joker in The Dark Knight. He was such an emotional actor. You could see his characters feelings and emotions just by looking at his eyes. It is truly a sad day.

January has not been a very good month for Hollywood. First, Brad Renfro and now Ledger. He will be sadly missed.

God bless him...
