Just broke on Fox - details to come.
I got banned from a chat room years ago for saying "now that Jerry Garcia's dead, can Jimmy Buffett be far behind?"
Oops, screwed that up! Sorry!
From Us Weekly “Police officials initially said that the apartment was owned by the actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but her tells Usmagazine.com, “Mary-Kate does not own that apartment. She does not own any apartment in that building.”
And from TMZ “The NYPD has confirmed to TMZ that Heath Ledger was NOT at an apartment owned by Mary-Kate Olsen when he died.”
Still looking for something less ‘tabloid-esque’ saying that, but they were saying it on our local news, as well.
Yes, I agree. I think sometimes people don’t realize how many pills they are taking. Everyone I know is sick right now with some horrible cold/flu bug going arouns. In cases like this you take everything under the sun just to feel better.
Could have been just an accident.
I pray for his daughter.
Heath Ledger recently gave an interview to WJW FOX in Cleveland where he said, “I feel good about dying because I feel alive through her.” He was talking about his young daughter Matilda.

Lol!
All of the old chat rooms are gone. Does anyone here know why they were pulled from Yahoo?
I believe that was the same summer that Diana was killed. My first words online were “Princess Di(e)?”
He had pneumonia and if you read up on how the Joker role really affected his sleep, it wouldn’t be a total surprise if he slightly overdid and mixed some meds and died as a result.
Very sad, regardless of whether it represented an emotional/substance issue or if it was just an accident with medication.
I was stunned when I heard the news...Heath Ledger was an excellent actor...what a shame...what a loss. That said, I just want to add that I too am keeping my own little list of those I won’t reply to on threads anymore...RIP Mr. Ledger.

I agree. Cold hearted dregs are a plenty on this and other FR threads regarding this man's death. It's pathetic, trollish and disgusting.
No, we are banning people who catch our attention for being rude, crude and socially unacceptable, and we find out they are retread trolls.
Horsecrap...
Okay, that Jerry O’Connell thing was pretty funny.
Just heard. Talented actor. I sorry to hear this and have looked forward to seeing him as Joker in the new Batman movie.
George Bush’s Fault!
Damn you George! How many must die?
Personally, I didn't see much more of this than on other threads by the people who were banned.
And they weren't slinging barbs mostly at other posters; the barbs were directed at a Hollyweird actor for Heaven's sake.
But if you say they were retread trolls who may have caused you trouble in the past that's your call. We have no way of knowing that.
This is a first for me. I've never seen anyone brag about how tacky they can be. Well, no one over the age of 13, anyway.
I was a wee lad of 20 at the time.
You are 100% correct.
How many posters damned him for his acting in Brokeback Mountain?
You don't know what's up? You are what's up.
Well if he did have pneumonia he had some decline/depression in respiratory function, and if he ingested opiates or sedatives or a cocktail of both which further depresses lung function, then we really have a problem and have to consider resp failure.
