Heath Ledger, Australian actor was found dead today at the age of 28. The probable cause of death is most likely drugs, as pills were found by his bedside table. I told my roommate the news and she said "that's awful!" as my friend Sarah said "He was so hot!" Whatever the sentiments are, the reality is that he is dead. If it was an overdose, was it on purpose? Why would someone who has it all, a thriving career, a beautiful daughter, loving friendships, LOVED by millions want it all to end? I can understand needing a vacation but death is a pretty permanent vacation! His fans adored his work, his looks, even his accent was envied! What personal demons could this poor man be facing in order for this to have happened? It just goes to show that celebrities really ARE human and that they face just as many problems as the rest of us, yet they are in the public spotlight because they "chose" this when they decided to be actors. If Heath had personal demons that weren't forseen in the media, I can only imagine what's going to happen next with Britney Spears....
UPDATE: This just in: Heath Ledger was found in Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment that he was renting from the twin! Scandal.
