Heath Ledger OD's?

Heath Ledger is found dead in New York -- baltimoresun.com

"The Australian-born actor was found dead Tuesday by his housekeeper and a massage therapist -- lying naked and face-down on his bed, police said. The prescription sleeping pills and anti-anxiety pills were found in bottles in Ledger's bedroom and bathroom, and police said the death was caused by a possible drug overdose and appeared to be accidental."

I had heard the news earlier today over the radio. This is shitty.

Unfortunately, I find myself wondering if it's all that Fox/CNN is going to cover for the next three months... with a side-story of the Britney Spears Scandal.

Well, I HAD a bunch of posts in the old thread explaining my theories on how it's a government conspiracy to draw public eyes away from government activity/election race/ etc, but as you can see, it disappeared.

Goddamn them.

Rollback, again? So that's what it was, with the layout update and all that jazz.

But yeah, Rist, it was the Government. Killed him for being Australian.

Either that, or it's part of the marketing for The Dark Knight. He said the role of the Joker was affecting him mentally, so it only makes sense he'd fake his death. To make the movie seem really good. Dig?

Well... I don't see why they would need to draw attention away from the election... they seem to be doing a good job of "editing out" players they don't like. Certainly anybody smart enough to vote Ron Paul is smart enough to focus on politics while acknowledging the actor's death.

Then again, the government thinks we're pretty stupid. *shrugs*

Well I'm not smart enough for either. Or old enough for the former.

Someone at work told me today the first thing they did was remove a ladder from his apartment? I don't know a source or anything other than this coworker.

If that's true, it could support some type of foul play, government sponsored or otherwise.

A sad day indeed.

Two questions: Why does the thread say he OD'd, when that's not confirmed at all yet? (Just b/c someone has sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medicine at their home does NOT mean they OD'd. If I had a completely unrelated heart attack, you'd find the same things at my place.)

What is this rumor about him being found in one of the Olsen twin's apartments? (Mary Kate, maybe?)

**Ristaron** · 01-23-2008, 10:03 PM

All the sources I had read said that it was the most likely cause of death. I didn't think much of it when I titled the thread.

As for the Olson Twins' apartment, I heard that it was in his own apartment.

I just heard they found pills in his apartment...or by his bed, maybe? Surprisingly, I thought he was FOUND dead, but I guess he was found still alive, in cardiac arrest, but they couldn't save him.

I understand not even thinking about the title of the thread. I just asked about the OD thing b/c, although it's possible it was drug-related, as my mom said, you never know. He could've just had a heart attack, or something like that. I've heard of plenty of young people dropping dead b/c of a heart condition they had that they never knew about.

I think I've heard that it was his apartment, too. I'm guessing that Mary Kate thing is just a stupid or "joke" rumor.

EDIT: OK, I didn't read the actual article attached to this thread before commenting. The Mary Kate rumor makes more sense now.
