    Wow. That's crazy. My condolences to his family.

    I guess this puts the new Batman film in a bit of a pickle.

    RIP. Condolences go out to everyone in his family, friends included.

    He was a fine actor. And I sure hope TDK proves he can go out with a bang.

    Wow, I was so shocked when I read this, as I'm sure everyone was.

    He was so young. =\ And such an amazing actor too. RIP Heath. <3

    This is just terrible. He's one of my favorite actors and now he's gone. Just getting into his prime. I'm still in shock.

    Just heard about this from someone a little while ago... wow. He may have been "just an actor" to the majority of us but it is still really sad news.

    Obviously none of the people outside of his family and friends would truly know how his life was, but I sure hope it turns up to be accidental if it does indeed turn out to be an overdose. He had so much more life to live and as if it isn't awful news already, that would be terrible to hear.

    My condolences go out to his family and friends. Rest in Peace.

    The very frightening thing about it. Remember the term "Everything happens in threes"?

    Brad Renfro, died last week, 25, possible OD
    Heath Ledger, died today, 28, possible OD

    I'm afraid of who could be next. I hope nobody.

    I was shocked to hear this when I got home from my girlfriends. She phoned me to inform me of the news. I couldn't believe it. He was truly, a great actor. And passing at such a young age is saddening to hear.

    My condolences go out to his family.

    RIP Heath.

    Absolutely terrible news. I am moved to tears by this. He was such a promising actor with an incredible resume and prominent career ahead of him, and I absolutely loved him in A Knight's Tale.

    It's a shame when the good die so young, He will be missed.

    R.I.P.

    The Law of Three.

    Or, in this case, it could be the Batman thing. Didn't a crew member die on set during filming?

    Horrible news. I'm not sure how this will affect The Dark Knight, as filming wrapped last year.

    My thoughts go out to this family and friends.

    While planning a stunt with the Batmobile in a special effects facility near Chertsey, England in September 2007, a technician was killed when his car crashed. None of the actors was on set.

    That's what I found on the Wiki.

    I'm sure nothing will change though. Just...treat this like Brandon Lee did. Although it's 2 entirely different suitations.

    Still...wow.

    I am willing to bet that due to him playing The Joker that his role drove him to this. I remember reading sometime ago he was taking sleeping pills because the role strained on his sleeping patterns.

    Not to forget that he was playing a very mentally unstable character, and that if he was not having much sleep/mentally unstable himself...it could've led to him losing it.

    I'm not saying this was deliberate or a suicide, but if it turned out to be, the reason about is my best guess as to why unfortunately.

    Again, this couldn't have happened to a greater actor and he will be sorely missed.

    I heard about this earlier tonight. I was shocked into silence. I was never a big fan of Heath Ledger, but he was a brilliant actor, and I am genuinely devastated to hear this. Dying like that at 28, it's just wrong.

    RIP
