Heath Ledger’s Family Responds

Wed, 06 February 2008 at 11:29 am

Heath Ledger’s father, Kim, just released a statement on behalf of the Ledger family in response to the Medical Examiner’s findings:

“We remain humble as parents and a family, among millions of people worldwide who may have suffered the tragic loss of a child. Few can understand the hollow, wrenching, and enduring agony parents silently suffer when a child predeceases them. Today’s results put an end to speculation, but our son’s beautiful spirit and enduring memory will forever remain in our hearts. While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy. Heath’s accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage.

“Our family enjoyed an extremely happy two week visit with Heath just prior to the New Year. Those recent precious days will stay with us forever. We as a family feel privileged to have some of his amazing magic moments captured in film. To most of the world Heath was an actor of immeasurable talent and promise. To those who knew him personally, Heath was a consummate artist whose passions also included photography, music, chess and directing. We knew Heath as a loving father, as our devoted son, and as a loyal and generous brother and friend.

“We treasure our beautiful granddaughter Matilda (to our dear Michelle) as well as an unbelievably wonderful network of close friends, forever, around the world. Families rarely experience the uplifting, warm and massive outpouring of grief and support as have we, from every corner of the planet. This has deeply and profoundly touched our hearts and lives. We are eternally grateful.

“At this moment we respectfully request the worldwide media allow us time to grieve privately, without the intrusions associated with press and photography.”

I probably will not be missed when I pass. Unfortunately, I’ve angered alot of people in my life because of my hardened heart. I AM THE IDIOT. I’ve turned people away because of my anger and hatefulness towards the world. God forgive me!

RIP Health Ledger.

lol RIP HEATH

trolling people and cloning monikers is worse than genocide. congratulations you beat hitler at the WORLDS BIGGEST D*UCHEBAG awards. You won the big award lady, now go shove it up your lonely dusty dried up old c*nt where it belongs, it’ll be glad of the company after so many decades.
BTW Heath was a coked out closet homosexual **** and John Gibson was right. God punished him for his sinful ways. I hope someone sh*ts on his grave. and engraves JUNKIE SINNER on his tombstone.

Ha! @ 02/06/2008 at 4:41 pm

Ahhhh, the world is as it should be. You had some people freaked out for a minute there.

Ha! @ 02/06/2008 at 4:45 pm

I forgot to mention that I suck men’s c.ock’s for a living because I love the taste of c.um thats why I am an over judgmental hard up fat American sk.ank. I can’t help it.

Pity Heath was a homosexual and liked to spit roast Jake Gyllenhal on mountain tops otherwise I could have tasted his too.

I have changed my mind now, I hope he burns in hell the homo b.astard. I agree with you Didi. He was a dirty crack ho’

************, Heath

I hope all you fans understand that he really is in hell at the moment. He lead an unhealthy sinful lifestyle.

I do take Lithium because I am Psychotic, I suppose I ought to let everyone know that. I have split personalities as well. Up above is the one where I am Psycho… this is the real me.

Ha! is a very sad person, she has to clone monikers because she has a a small brain. she can’t retort with intellect or wit so she has to resort to childish games in defence of her junkie idol. Due to Ha!’s idiocy, I have won this argument by default.

Heath was in fact a junkie piece of scum b*stard who deserved to die, and the prosecution rests your honour.

# 81

Didi @ 02/06/2008 at 4:57 pm

Ha! is also a liar because I can see her IP address and know she is cloning because she’s mad that she has been exposed as an idiot live on the internet. What a troll.

Ha! @ 02/06/2008 at 5:02 pm

Didi, grow up. You apparently p*ssed someone else off on here so you have them to thank for using your name. It certainly wasn’t me. But thank you for proving your maturity and intellect by doing exactly what was done to you to me. And in such an eloquent way. Moron.

# 84

Ha! @ 02/06/2008 at 5:03 pm

So you’re crazy AND a liar. Beautiful.

# 85

Didi @ 02/06/2008 at 5:04 pm

Ha! stop pretending to be different people. You poor poor thing, its futile now. I love pissing people off. You guys are so mad I can sense it. I got the same reaction from Britney fans the other day, they starting cloning me too at the end. The Angelina Jolie fans threatened to kill me by coming through the computer screen and strangling me to death. Thats how i know i’ve won.

#73 wasn’t me but I admit it was f*cking funny. I dont clone people unlike you, I dont need to hide behind pseudo names and post stupid messages. I say what the hell I want with my own name whatever the consequences. You started this childish game, not me. Own up to it like an adult.
