Heath Legder, What happened?


On Tuesday January 22, 2008, talented actor and father, Heath Ledger was found dead at the age of twenty-eight. A housekeeper found the actor in his Manhattan apartment, he was said to be undressed and unresponsive. Although it is being assumed his death is due to a drug overdose, their is still no conformation that this is true . In his room an assortment of pills where found in his home, this included sleeping pills. As the investigation continued more and more questions needed to be answered. Like, why was Mary Kate Olsen the first person to be called? And Why did it take the housekeeper take so long to get help? These questions will probably never be answered. It has always been public knowledge that Ledger had many problems sleeping. The actor has been quoted by the New York Times saying, “Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night”. He then described his sleepless nights and mental exhaustion as he wrestled with his role as the psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic character of the Joker in the new Batman film which he just finished filming when he died, the movie will be coming out sometime in July. So, as the fans of Heath Ledger we will have to wait a while to learn what really happened to one of the most famous actors of young Hollywood, and until then well just believe what we want to believe.
