OlderHeath’s Family Found Out From the Media
Heath Ledger’s family is reeling after learning of the actor’s death from the media today, reports In Touch.
Family friend and private investigator Paul Barresi spoke to Heath’s uncle Neil Bell today. Bell is in his early 60s and was, Heath’s personal assistant, confidante and mentor.
“The last thing that Heath would want to do is throw it all away. He was very happy living in New York, ” Bell told Barresi. “His mother and father (in Australia) heard of his death on the news. We are all devastated. The whole family is devastated over his death, and more so over having to learn of his death from the media.”
Bell recalled, “Ever since Heath was a little boy, all he ever dreamt of was becoming an actor. Heath knew at a very young age that acting was his destiny and purpose.”

this is sooo sad
i can’t believe it!
=(
RIP
This may sound crass but now we’re going to be subjected to weeks and maybe months of ‘poor little Matilda’ and ‘Heath’s secret life’ by ET, First Edition, UsWeekly, etc. And we’ll all stay tuned.
that’s terrible
my prayers are with him
and i know people who are making fun of him
after finding out he was dead
********
He was so talented…reminded me of James Dean. My heart goes out to his family and his little daughter who will never know her father. Rest in peace…God Bless…..
That is so sad and horrible.
A news report actually brought this up but more about Michelle Williams how she quite possibly could have heard about it first from some sort of blog or news bulletin.
The life of a person in the limelight….
Wow, poor family.

My Dec. 2007 prediction for Heath Ledger:

This is so incredibly devastating. R.I.P. Heath. You will be terribly missed.
Wow, can you imagine finding out that your child had died on the news? Sad.
oh my GOD, I cant believe this… so sudden I just can’t believe it.. he was just shooting a movie earlier… I really hope this is all NOT TRUE…
this is just so sad, he was so young, and a great actor.
my prayers go out to his family and friends.
I don’t know what it was about Heath but he always looked a lil sad for me. It was always in his eyes and I read a few years back that this girl was at a party that he was at, he sat all alone & when their eyes connected, all she saw was sadness. I think he really was depressed, his girlfriend left him a year ago, he was living all alone and all he had was work. They say that money can’t buy happiness and obviously it’s true. Owen Wilson commited suicide last year and I never would have suspected that coming from him either. RIP Heath… when i saw his pic a few minutes ago, it was something in his eyes that kinda looked like he’s finally at peace. RIP
terrible way to find out.
That is so sad.
I feel sooo sad
this is sooo sad…his a family man ,my pity goes to his loved ones whom he left behind…
Rest in peace
It’s a tragedy!!! I can’t believe yet. I feel so sad!!!!
That is really really disgusting! Imagine finding out about the death of a loved one over the radio………..F%*#%N ********!!!!!!!!!!!! Where’s the respect??? >:o(
……………………………..I’m Still in Shock!!!…………………………….
I dont know, i just can’t believe it! (i dont want to believe it )
:(((
Sad enough to lose a son, a brother, a friend or lover, but how shocking and traumatic to learn about it via the media.
In the media’s defense, it is their job to report the news, not to make sure the family has been notified. And in the media frenzy that was taking place outside his apartment building, they were just doing what pays their bills.
It is the police or medical examiner’s responsibility to notify the next of kin. I know first hand from a brother who died alone in his apartment. It was a police detective who called me and that was only because I was on the “emergency contact” list for his landlord. Maybe they didn’t know who his parents were or where to find them?
Nonetheless, a very sad day for the family of Heath Ledger and those who were close to him. They are in my prayers tonight. May he RIP.
I still can’t believe it. It’s so sad. I’m sad. Doesn’t seem real.
My heart goes out to his family & loved ones, esp. his little girl.
I am so sad for this coz I remember watching him on home and away and so do all the other Australians out there probably :(
Everything about this tragedy is heartbreaking.
Court I remember watching him on Home and Away too….I’m in the UK. His character was a surfer dude, I think Sam took up with him.
I have heard about it all day and I still can’t not believe it. He was so young and soooo talented. i would hate to have my family find out like that. They should have learned about it first before the media.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his lovely little daughter Matilda. She was such a daddy girls. My heart goes out to her.
I dont want to quit you.
