They're saying OD at this point. Supposedly his cleaning lady found his body and a bunch of pills.

Wow...that's unexpected and really sad. I suppose he could have died of something "natural," but I guess thats not so likely considering he was so young....
What a waste if he committed suicide or OD'd

Heath wasn't one I don't think anyone considered for an early death. I don't think he was into any drug scene. He was always recognized as an outstanding guy with no ego; that allowed him to play all sorts of different roles.
Kind of crazy news hearing this.

From MSNBC:
The Times initially reported that Ledger was found in an apartment owned by actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but a spokesperson for the actress, who is at the Sundance Film Festival, later told the Times the apartment was not Olsen's.

Thats really sad.
The buzz is he battled a substance abuse problem that he kept very well hidden, and he had been clean for awhile now.
His poor little person!

I am shocked, sure, but also angry. This isn't a plane crash or heart attack. He willfully made the choice to get involved in drugs (or if it's a suicide, he chose that action.) I feel bad for his family.
It's like when someone drinks and drives, and gets killed by driving into a tree. It isn't a tragedy; it's the expected results from utterly stupid behavior, and I am only relieved that the person didn't kill other drivers on the road. We had a case in my home state just recently -- a teenager driving drunk got killed. He was 17. He had already been involved in a drinking and driving accident once. And yet his parents bought him a muscle car. I blame him and them.
I look forward to seeing The Dark Knight, but it appears (given the available evidence) that he made some very stupid choices and brought about a not-so-surprising result. I am shocked and angry.

No, it wasn't a plane crash or heart attack, but it it was tragic just the same. He leaves behind a small child and that is also tragic. I am familiar with neither his work or his personal life, and I assume that you have the same information about his death that we all have. The article said that there were OTC meds found in his room--could it be it was an accident, maybe an allergic reaction? Things like that have happened. Maybe we should all just wait and see what the autopsy has to say before we start talking about the "stupid choices" people have made. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally with you on cases like the one you described in your post. Just my opinion.

Of course we all have to wait for an autopsy, I agree. I stated that my opinion was based on the available evidence, which is still being accumulated.
However, I stand by my words that if he was doing drugs, I feel no sympathy. We'll have to wait and see. An allegeric reaction would be a terrible tragedy indeed.

As I stated above, if it turns out that it was an accident, then that would be a tragedy. I do not feel sympathy for people who do things to themselves however. I do judge that. There are people in my own family who have done stupid things, and I do not excuse that. An accident is one thing. A deliberate choice to engage in something stupid is different.
The autopsy is pending. Differ with me if you like, but I stand by my words if it turns out if was an overdose.

He slept with Mary-Kate Olsen and committed suicide after she told him he'd never be able to sleep with her again? How Bizzare is that.
Delightful actor.

Ok I laughed but you're terrible. Jared Leto may be a jerk but at least you can watch someone pummel the crap out of him in fight club.
