As most of you may know, we lost a GREAT guy this week.
Heath was a great guy. He was a great son, father, brother, friend and actor. And we will remember him for many years to come as Ennis Del Mar of Brokeback Mountain, where he played oppiste Michelle Williams (Mother of his 2 year old, Matilda Rose) and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Many people at the WBC (Westboro Baptist Church) plan on picketing Mr. Ledger's funeral. Only because of his role in Brokeback Mountain. He played a homosexual. And a great one at that. But, because of that, The WBC believes he is going to Hell. Also, the WBC picket Soldier's funerals. This church, which is run by Fred Phelps believes that they are the only people allowed into Heaven. If anyone is going to Heaven, It will NOT be these guys. But anyways...
On January 22nd Heath's Body was found by his Maid and a Masseuse. The masseuse was there for a weekly massage with with Mr. Ledger. The ladies claim that he was found face down on his bed, unconcious, so the masseuse called Mary-Kate Olsen. She had called Mary-Kate 4 times before she called 911. She apperently called because her bodyguard was an EMT. Also, Mary-Kate was a close friend of Heath's. But how close, we will never know.
It took the bodyguard 9 minutes to get to the apartment. He arrived shortly after the police. Mr. Ledger was pronounced dead at the scene. They since then have recoverd more than 5 different perscription drug bottles. most full.
-Alprazolam (Xanax) used to treat anxiety disorders
-Diazepam (Valium) for the treatment of anxiety and alcohol withdrawal
-Lorazepam (Ativan) used to treat anxiety and tension and insomnia
-Zopiclone (Lunesta) used as a treatment for insomnia
-Temazepam (Restoril) generally prescribed for the treatment of short-term severe or debilitating insomnia in patients who have difficulty falling asleep or maintaining sleep
Also, they found a $20 bill rolled up in a "certain" way. It was tested for drugs, but came back negative for any.
His autopsy came back inconclusive. So, we must wait right around 2 weeks for the toxicology reports.
The police say that it looks like an accedental overdose.
Also, it had surfaced that he had Pneumonia when he died. But the Autopsy ruled it out as reason for his death.
Ledger just finished wrapping up his role as "Joker" in the new installment of The newest Batman Movie, The Dark Knight. His predesesor is Jack Nicholson, in the 1989 version. Cleverly titled "Batman".
Jack Nicholson told TMZ camera's "I Warned him" when he heard of his death.
When more news comes out, I will be sure to let you know. Heath was one of my favorite actors.
Rip, Heath!
