This is so sad. He was so talented... He will be missed so much. I pray for his daughter and family.


Oh what a terrible, dreadful waste.
Always the young and inherently bright talents of Hollywood ie.. Heath Ledger and Brad Renfro, River Phoenix etc... end up gone too soon .. tortured self-destructive souls. I suppose they are not built for fame after all.
Tragic.


Really tragic. He was such a talent.
I'm so sad. R.I.P. Heath :(


I can't believe he would have killed himself with drugs. The police said that maybe drugs were involved. He had a kid. Maybe the drug thing is what ended his marriage. Why do these kids do this? why would they get so into drugs. What a waste. This is shocking and I feel so sorry for Michelle and their baby. She will likely question herself...you know...if only I.

Heath was so cool and I thought he was a great actor.

How sad.


He was truly a gifted actor who deserved to be called a star. What a shame it's ended like this.


A utter waste. Poor Matilda she will never really know her daddy - so very tragic.


Far to young....far to talented....God Bless his child and family.


Aw man I can't believe this. My heart goes out to Matilda and all of Heath's family. This is truly sad.


This is extremely upsetting. First Renfro now Heath? Two very talented boys. So sad. :(


This really does suck! Let's not jump to conclusions about how he died though. Have to wait for the word I guess.......


This is so sad. I hope the fact that so many people are praying for them is a small comfort to Heath's family. :(


This is so incredibly heartbreaking....such a big talent, loving father, and all--around great guy...
I loved Heath Ledger

My thoughts and prayers are with his baby Matilda and his family....

He will always be missed :(
