Heath Ledger, the fellow who played The Joker in the latest Batman film has been found dead. Jesus that's so sad, man. The inevitable facing-off-with-Batman jokes aside, it's weird that people can die of an overdose of pills that were prescribed to them. I mean, is the normal dosage so close to the dangerous dose that it's easy to kill yourself by taking too much? This explains that article I read a couple of days ago in

He was soooo good. I really feel sad about it, though he's just one of many people who die every day... My best friend Valentina's gonna be shattered. She was convinced that she would marry him some day :(
Brokeback was so sad, it had tragedy written on it. Death is one occasion where its in to be superstitious :)
I haven't seen him much, except perhaps in Monster's Ball. Same guy who acted in Brokeback Mountain, lots of people seem to think he's really good though, but I missed all his movies unfortunately.
Poor fellow, he's just 8 years older than me. That's young.
He was in Ten things that I hate about you, A Knight's Tale, Brothers Grimm, Casanova...
A German site just said it was an accident in his household or something.
Ah yes, I went and looked him up after I noticed. Accidents, the BBC said he overdosed on pills. Heck, you never know. The first few hours after there's always wild speculation unless they say what happened.
I posted on the same 'accidental' death in my blog. I think he will be better than Jack Nicholson as the Joker.
Too young to die. A sad news for Hollywood and for his fans.
Poor chap.
Ah Arun, you finally updated. That is good to hear.
Indeed Vinod, but then, is there ever a right time to die?
He had lots of money, Marc, stolen from The Penguin, I hear.
