Heath Ledger dead

Sounds like suicide, what a tragedy.

I was shocked when I heard the report. He was the best film actor Australia's ever produced.

And he was only 28

As a person I found him to be an up himself prick who thought his sh!te was chocolate.

I didnt know he sailed - what was his favorite sail brand - or was he a kiter ?

Liked his work...

A recent film (Brokeback Mountain) would sugget he was a kiter

Sorry for the bad taste gag

I wouldn't jump to conclusions on suicide. Have they found a note?

An article I read suggested that he wasn't sleeping cos playing the role of The Joker (Batman) was screwing with his head and his sleeping pills were only keeping him asleep for an hour at a time. He might have taken a few extras to make sure he slept... and then whoopsie!

We'll have to wait and see what the investigation proves but at this stage it could have been intentional or it could have been an accident.

Heath was a good sailor. He could do spocks and good wave 360's. He used only JP's as he found them strong and light. He liked Ezzy sails, as in his own words "Dave is a good bloke, nice to his Sri Lankan workers and all, dos'nt hit em with sticks when they slacken off"

So we will all miss Heath, and his clowning about on the water.

See you Heathy.

What a shame, great actor. Hope the autopsy repudiates his family's claims.

SO ?

But don't you see?! He was a movie star, he should have been happy!

I shouldn't touch this with a 490 mast, I really shouldn't but here goes: [}:)]

They didn't need the billions in aid until the (arguably valid) embargo that was crushing the country was upgraded to the yanks blowing the hell out of the all the infrastructure. They have oil. And do you actually think the Iraqis get even half of that aid? It all goes to the companies that won the contracts, and they are doing a **** job of it.

But you do have a fair point about the bombers targeting civilians.

Oh yeah, Heath is dead. I never met him. Liked his work. He should have windsurfed more. So should I.

I bet that makes the families of those who died at the hands of the American invaders sleep well at night.

Just remember some facts when you start talking about terrorism and Iraq. Firstly terrorism wasn't a problem for or caused by Iraq until the Bush administration started telling us fairly tales.

Secondly, invading and occupying a country isn't the best way to deal with so called terrorists. I know if some other country invaded Australia I would be doing my best to fight back and resist any way I could and I would consider any government put up by the invaders to be a bunch of traitors.

Edit:

Anyway back on topic, Its sad that Ledger died. I did not know he was a windsurfer which makes me consider him differently. If he was having trouble sleeping he should have taken a break from NYC and headed over to Maui for some R&R. Rest in peace.

How did we get onto Iraq and America? Started the thread with the death of an Aussie actor, went to political opinions and frankly if I want to read someone ranting about how bad we (the west) are to the poor Arabs and visa versa, I'll read a propaganda website.

Let's get back to windsurfing........

hm... I wonder if it was NYC that caused him trouble to sleep... some people take sleeping pills to help them relax and come down... ahm I mean, calm down...

Apparently the world is busy trying to sort out its Ledgers.[}:)] Great Expectations have been dashed.[V What the dickens is going on?

When a local surfer dies we generally have a wake on the water.

I hope none of his family read this site, it was not just Heath who windsurfed.

I did not know him through windsurfing it was via another sport, never trust what you read in the press, I wish his family well.
