OlderHeath’s Family: He Touched So Many People
Heath Ledger’s father Kim released the following statement with regards to the 28-year-old actor’s tragic death Tuesday in New York:
“Heath’s family confirms the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda. He was found peacefully asleep in his New York apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30 p.m. U.S. time.
“We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for their well wishes and kind thoughts at this time. Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him.
“He was a down to earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and selfless individual who was extremely inspirational to many. Please now respect our family’s need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately.”

he was georgeous.. i still cant believe it..
omg… it’s sooo sad :( i can’t belive…
ohh heath
Yeah, I definitely heard his father say “selfish.” And I repeated the clip several times, since I found the family’s need to make a statement very chastening. The transcript is obviously what was intended. Perhaps the Aussie accent conflates those two words, to other anglophone ears? Or maybe it was a slip, which is sort of what happens when so much press jumps at suicide as an answer. Such an intrusion. May they grieve, and he rest, in peace.
RIP Health
