Really respected this guys decisions.
I feel very strongly that a genuine talent has departed and the creative community has lost a light that shone brighter than most. It makes me think of potential unfulfilled.
I hope his loved ones can manage against the media maelstrom.

Well, this didn't take long: I wonder if these Kansas bible thumpers have ability to go down to Australia en masse just to picket his funeral. It takes a while to get a passport if they don't already have one. All those plane tickets won't be cheap either..

The best thing to do with fundamentalist ANYTHING is to ignore it. They have only the power you give them. I wouldn't sweat it, it's either or hoax, and if it isn't that, those toothless goobers wouldn't know how to get to Perth, much less pay for a plane ticket. With regard to Mr. Ledger's death.....the sad part is he leaves behind a 2 year old daughter that will never know her daddy. I hope his "people" had the foresight to recognize the all-too-common fault amongst the artistic/Hollywood type of walking the fine line between genius and insanity, and made appropriate life insurance considerations for his young family. At this point it is pure speculation, but I find it hard to believe an otherwise medically healthy 28 year old man died of natural causes. Likely another cautionary tale that will go unheeded. Hendrix, Belushi, Farley, Bonham....off the top of my head. WOW... check out this list.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_drug-related_deathsAgain: Full retraction of above statements will be made if his death is ruled to be the product of something other than drugs.

Results are inconclusive at the moment, could be another 10 days before they know for sure.

RIP.
Why can't people call 911 first?
The New York Times has precise new details about the death of Heath Ledger and how the whole Olsen Twins chatter got started.
They report:
"According to the police, at about 12:30 p.m., a housekeeper, Teresa Solomon, arrived at the apartment, at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, to do household chores. At about 1 p.m., she went into Mr. Ledger’s bedroom to change a light bulb in an adjacent bathroom; she found him on the bed face down, with the sheet pulled up to his shoulders, and heard him snoring.
A masseuse, Diana Wolozin, arrived to give Mr. Ledger a massage at about 2:45 p.m. At 3 p.m., after Mr. Ledger did not emerge from his bedroom, with the door closed, the masseuse called him on his cellphone but got no answer. She saw him laying in bed. She took a massage table out of the closet and began to set it up near his bed. She then went over to him and shook him, but got no response. Using his cellphone, she used a speed-dial button to call Mary-Kate Olsen in California to seek her guidance, knowing Ms. Olsen to be a friend of Mr. Ledger’s. She told Ms. Olsen that Mr. Ledger was unconscious. Ms. Olsen said she would call some private security people she knew in New York, and hung up. Ms. Wolozin again shook Mr. Ledger, called Ms. Olsen a second time, and said she believed the situation was grave and would call 911.
Ms. Wolozin called 911 at 3:26 p.m. to say that Mr. Ledger was not breathing. The call occurred less than 15 minutes since she had first seen him in bed and only a few moments after the first call to Ms. Olsen. The 911 operator urged Ms. Wolozin to try to revive Mr. Ledger, but Ms. Wolozin’s efforts were not successful.
Emergency medical workers arrived at 3:33 p.m., at almost exactly the same moment as a private security guard summoned by Ms. Olsen. The medical workers moved his body to the floor and then used a defibrillator and CPR, to no avail. Mr. Ledger was pronounced dead at 3:36 p.m. By that point, two other private security guards summoned by Ms. Olsen had arrived, as had police officers.
The police said that all five witnesses — Ms. Solomon, the housekeeper; Ms. Wolozin, the masseuse; and the three private security guards summoned by Ms. Olsen — were fully cooperating with the authorities."

Wow, that's pretty stupid...
At least they weren't so bad as to log on to wikipedia and report it there first.
