Australian Actor Heath Ledger dead at 28.

From an apparent drug overdose. Another life laid waste by drugs. A 2 year old without a father and parents robbed of their son.

Wow, wasn't expecting that one!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Totally took me by surprise

I feel terrible for his little girl and his family.  His parents must be devastated.  I'm sure more and more info will come out about it today.  Sounds already like an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.

Either way, it's a sad thing for his family.

I heard today on the news it was reported ..but unconfirmed that he had a hidden Heroin drug use.  Seems like half or better of 3/4 of Hollywood is on some kind of drug use.  To me it seems as though these actors and performers get such a high profile that they seem to think it is the norm for them.  On top of that, I would assume that the paparazzi  play a big role in these peoples lives.  I cant imagine constantly being on the run most of the time.  These hollywood actors are people too, but then again, they should be well prepared for this if they are shooting to hit the stardom and know that they are going to be sought out.  There is no way I could live a life like that.  Especially having kids that often get caught up in the scouffles...
