Heath Ledger’s Death Was an Accident
A rep for Heath Ledger’s family says Heath’s death was accidental.
The cops told the Ledger family that there is no evidence that he may have committed suicide, reports TMZ.
His family says he was not that kind of person to have taken his own life.
Heath was sick with pneumonia when he died today in NY. His autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.
Former fiancee Michelle Williams is currently on a plane en route to NYC.

i really dont want to believe this is true. its crazy, he was so young.. r.i.p heath.
i’m so sad. i can’t explain it now, but it is trully heartbreaking. he was an excellent actor, with excellent choices of movies. it’s a terrible loss for the films industry and for all the fans and, specially, his family. i can’t believe that i’m this sad :/
let’s we all remember him though his awesome movies (brokeback mountain just got a little sadder to me right now). rest in peace, Heath, you deserve it and thank you for everything.
omg..
This makes it even more sad he was probably all confused taking a variety of pills in addition to having pneumonia.
Heath, you were a great actor. R.I.P.
poor little baby Matilda :(
good he didn’t suicide but it’s a lame he died because of something like a pneumoniaa:(
Yeah… I hope his death was an accident too, for his family and loved ones!!
Because I can’t have any respect for the selfish people who commits a suicide for relieve his sorrow!!
The suicide is not the good solution !!!
man i am depressed. poor heath. poor michelle!
Wow! I went home and me mom said that Heath is dead and I was in so much shock. I was like, “are you sure? The guy in Brokeback Mountain?” So I went onto the homepage and pages just splatered on the site of Heath’s death. Well all we can do is just pray for his family, Michelle and Matilida. I really wish that people in this life could come back to life because if it was just an accident well obvisouly someone upstairs wanted him so much more. All we can do is hope for the best for everyone around him and his surroundings but now each time I watch a movie of his I may cry. God rest your soul, Heath! God bless all of you!
#50, if you look to the first thread, of lots of us posting here, are initial shock and sadness is posted there.
He had pneumonia according to Jared/s new info on the main page. he was probably taking anit-biotics for that as well. He should have been in the hospital, not at “home”,
To Just Me- yes people who commit suicide are being outright selfish - but they are in PAIN. Emotional or psychological pain so great that they cannot or do not know how to communicate it to other people and feel alone. Whether its true or not, that’s how the feel.
I think we all wish that people would choose to seek help from others rather than take their own lives but sometimes they’re just not that strong - sometimes people are just too human. And even in death, even by their own hands they need understanding eventually not hatred or loathing perhaps pity but not loathing.
Suicide creates anger in survivors.
# 54 RIP @ 01/22/2008 at 8:33 pm This makes it even more sad he was probably all confused taking a variety of pills in addition to having pneumonia.

In reality, we all die of because of heart failure…bottom line. When a good friend of mine died from too many drugs, that was the “family’s story”. HIs family, obviously, out of love, issued a statement without really knowing why he died. Is an accidental overdose considered a suicide and how does one tell the difference?
And, in the long run, what the hell does it matter anyway? No one will ever know, except his family, and that is how it should be. So, yeah it will be spun until the snow melts. Let’s just let him be in peace.
He will be sadly missed! I so admired all his work, he was so talented. This is such a tragedy, such a handsome and wonderful actor. RIP Heath, you will be missed forever.
if the post-mortem results come back indicating suicide, i dont think his family would believe it then either. i suppose theres 5 stages to grief so i hope the paps leave them alone to go through them. perez hilton and tmz are absolutely f*cking shameless beyond belief for the way they’re pestering friends and family and concocting stories about him being a drug addict. b*stards
I am so sad~~~Can’t believe it. He was such a talent actor. He will be missed very much by many people. My prayers goes out to him and his family.
I am in shock, I can’t believe it. He looks exhaused in the most recent pictures taken of him the last few months. I could not even guess what happened…my heart goes out to his family.
so sad
Yo this is Anna Nicole all over….If he was sick how come he was in London this past Saturday and then back in NYC today or maybe even yesterday? You don’t get on a plane when you have pneumonia. Maybe he didn’t know and was diagnosed when he got back to NYC? I feel sick.
aii ke triste noticiaA! =(
ke deskanceE en paz! =,(
terrible tragedy.
rest in peace.
So incredibly tragic! I agree with the other posters that said one should’t rush to judge other people. Everyday, people die accidentally. Even if he did take his own life, that is between him and his maker. The article I just read about him told of so many great plans he had for this year…Just my opinion, but that doesn’t sound like someone that was planning to end his life…Rest in love and peace Heath. In such a short time, you touched so many.
Heath’s dead was surely an accidental overdose. He said in a recent interview about his Batman movie that the role he was playing was very exhausting because it was an extremely difficult role to portray (the Joker) and it cost him a lot of sleep. He often got tired and ill and was reportedly suffering from pneumonia as well as exhaustion when he died. This film role is what did him in. Since Heath is a brilliant actor, putting 110% into his roles, the complicated and scary antagonistic role cost him his life. Rest in Peace, Heath. You were a brilliant actor.
To MonkeyShines…
It is true you are right!!
But that remains and will remain an act of selfishness!!
I am so sick and tired of hearing people dying unnecessarily. Now were are sitting her waiting for Britney or Amy Winehouse to suffer the same fate.
This is just too tragic. Enough is enough.
