All the news reports today have said that it doesn't seem Ledger was taking any illegal drugs.. The medicine he was taking was for anxiety and to sleep.. it's most likely a case of a fatal combination combined with an over dose.. they found a rolled up 20 dollar bill, but they tested it and there was no trace of any drug on it..

So, comparing him to Phoenix doesn't work.. now.. Jonathan Brandis who also died young was high as a kite when he killed himself.. that comparison would stand up..


but as for the whys.. Being famous.. (or being famous as a child and then having your career die by the age of 25) is a hard life.. you've got Papparazzi.. you've got fans who think they have a right to violate your privacy.. you've got media attention when you make even the smallest mistake. (and if you do make that mistake, your fans and the papparrazzi turn on you and make you out to be some kind of monster).. Every thing you do or say is recorded and shown to the world.. That is not an easy way to live..

they did drugs for pleasure. are you stupid? it was an overdose...

Well River Phoenix died from illegal drugs and so far all evidence shows that Ledger died from prescription drugs so we shouldn't jump to conclusions about him having a drug problem. But I completely agree with you on poor River Phoenix, such a beautiful and talented man, he would have accomplished so much if he was still alive today. I hear that Phoenix was abused as a child because he was part of that Children of God cult when he was young and that might have been what pushed him to drugs, though I'm not completely sure how true the rumors are. You would think that with all the drug related celebrity deaths that other celebrities with substance abuse problems (*cough* Britney Spears *cough*) would open their eyes but sadly that's not the case.

eliminate the paparazzi

I do agree that drugs are very common in Hollywood and that some have died from them.

In the case of Heath Ledger I wll defend him because he was a brillant actor who will be dearly missed by all. Drugs have not been confirmed in his death and the only drugs found at the scene were sleeping pills and anti-anxiety meds not crack or meth. He was probably stuggling with sleep from working long and hard hours and the mixture of the two could have caused this no one knows yet so I would not put him in the same category as the celebrities who chose bad substances like River Phoenix or other celebs currently taking drugs.

The question everyone should ask is why does anyone turn to drugs not just celebrities? We live in a fallen world and everyone feels like there is no way out when the answer is right in front of them, Jesus!

You have a good question and it is truly sad. It makes you think why good solid people like Heath ledger have to die and those who choose to make mistake after mistake and do things their own way and hurt and kill others are still here.

You obviously haven't read anything about Heath Ledgers death. The only thing they have proven is that he hasn't taken any illegal drugs. He was taking sleeping medication and the medication for his pneumonia. Millions across the country take Ambien to sleep, I hardly think that lumps him in with the illegal drug overdose group.

~Heath didn't take any illegal drugs, unlike others who have died from it. He was dealing with pneumonia and insomnia, and he was taking medications for it. It's sad that he died... and we should all let him rest in peace.~

To me, Heath Ledger's death seems more like Marilyn Monroe's than these others -- an accidental overdose or bad combination of prescription drugs.
