On Heath Ledger.

[ladynorbert]

I'm ringing in late because I wanted to see what would be revealed in the news. Not that I'm not still shocked and really rather saddened by the incident, because I am. But from what I'm reading this morning, the situation may be different than originally understood. They're describing his death now as an accident. The currently reported belief is that it was a drug overdose, but not the kind they first thought -- it looks like he accidentally overdosed on prescription sleep aids.

Of course, that doesn't change the fact that we've just lost a very talented and likeable actor. Or the fact that his little baby girl will have to grow up without him. Or the fact that the whole damn thing is just really sad.

If his death ends up being an indirect result of working on the Batman film...

God, I just don't know how I'd feel, if I were the filmmakers. Not that it's truly their fault...but oh, how bad I'd feel all the same.

I saw fit to make an icon, though I wasn't a diehard fan.

*jumps in based on what she's read* He was talking in an interview, and I think he just wanted to do it so right that it ended up messing up his sleep cycle; he couldn't sleep because Joker was just so raw.

:( I feel really sad that it may have been his devotion to his career that ended his life. It's... just too much, I gues.
