Death of Heath Ledger

Published by RedBlueThoughts at 8:28 am under Uncategorized Edit This

A promising actor just died today. Heath Ledger, the celebrated star of Brokeback Mountain, the controversial film about homo cowboys was found dead in an apartment. Police have ruled out suicide and they are still mum about the real cause of Ledger’s death. Preliminary reports say, he died from an overdose of sleeping pills.

Such a waste. Ledger is one of the most promising Hollywood star now. This actor can act. He’s not like Tom Cruise, whose claim to fame is his boy next door looks. Heath has this rugged look which classifies him as a serious thespian.

There’s still no clue as the real reason why he died. Maybe its an accident? Was there foul play? While I’m writing this, forensic investigators are working round the clock to determine what caused Ledger’s death.

Drug overdose is usually the stuff that makes actors legends. Marilyn Monroe died of a drug overdose. Same as Elvis Presley. Rock star Jimmy Hendrix also died due to heavy drug use. The young actor Phoenix overdosed himself to heaven while its the same with sexy starlet and Monroe wannabe Anna Nicole Smith.

These names have been immortalized already. Its not long before people consider Heath Ledger’s name on the Hollywood controversial death victims. Let’s hope that police really investigate hard and deep into why Ledger died.

We will miss you Heath.
