I know we predominantly post on black celebs, but Heath Ledger is one of my favorite actors so I know I’m not the only one SHOCKED by his death.

According to the New York City Police Department, Ledger was found dead in his apartment in Manhattan on Tuesday, January 22. [CHECK OHNOTHEYDIDNT FOR FULL UPDATES]

Our condolences to his family and especially his young daughter.

    That sucks…poor guy…I liked his acting. He has the new Batman coming out soon.

  5. This is soooo incredibly sad. I fell in love with him when i saw 10 Things I Hate About You. Brokeback Mountain is another favorite, and I was really looking forward to his role as the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie.

    I hope he rests in peace, and my prayers go out to his family, Michelle Williams and his baby girl.

    RIP Heath, you will be missed. :(

    Rest In Peace..

    I had to check like 8 different sites and the news. I’m really shocked.
    This is so sad. He’s my age this is unbelievable. I just seen Brokeback Mountain(which is by the way a Great Movie) he was definitely a great actor.

  28. Daja

    That is crazy man…..I loved him in 10 things I hate about you…..Man my best wishes go out to his family and his daughter she doesnt have her daddy now! so sad : (

  30. MISSISSIPPI G_DDAMN

    Yo, former Brooklynite, R.I.P.

    And sad to say, but there were some pretty rough looking pics of him circulating on the internets last week which had him looking pretty much near death’s door. He’d been partying hard and chasing models ever since he broke up with Brokeback co-star Michelle Williams:

    All the same, I wish his Michelle and their baby girl some peace at this time.

  31. Sizzle

    Damn, I love me some Heath!!

  32. Lisa

    His last performance is the Joker in the Dark Knight so sad

  33. OMG, I forgot about him in The Patriot. He was soooo good in it.

    Ivory, I also checked like 10 sites before I actually believed it. I’m still in shock. I wonder what could have been going on in his life to make him mess around with pills, which is what they are saying is the probable cause of death.

    RIP

  34. So I googled him and apparently he was going to play The Joker in the next Batman film.. I wonder what they’re going to do now.. R.I.P again to him :(

  35. Classy Kay

    I’m really shocked! I was really looking forward to him playing Joker in the new Batman movie! RIP

  36. I Cannot Believe THIS! His new Batman movie is coming out too! This is so sad!

  37. daniel

    i’m horrified. this is so sad, he had a great career ahead of him. why did he overdose?

  38. nova

    I send my condolences to the family.

    I hope this gives young (and old) hollywood a wake up call.

    I hope this pricks their collective concience.

    Amy Winehouse (who was filmed doing crack in London) and all others wake up.

    being paid to follow your art and create is a gift, we appreciate you.

    GOD be with the family at this time

  39. iana

  49. MISSISSIPPI G_DDAMN

    Just a rumor, but there is word that he might have committed suicide.

    Some good news:

    The Dark Knight is in post-production, so you’ll get to see him play The Joker.

  51. I am shocked at Heath’s passing. He was one of my favorite actors and was at the top of my Hollywood cutie list. He will be greatly missed.

  54. Lydia

    He was one of my favorite White actors along with Johnny Depp, his last performance was the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie. He was rumored to be in the third one, but I guess they’ll have to change the storyline.

  56. Lydia

    He was also working on another film , but it is still filming.
