RIP Heath Leadger

I was only just watching Ned Kelly last night...

Not sure how you can 'accidentally' OD on prescription pills

I think you'll find it's frighteningly simple. I believe that accidental OD's on paracetamol are actually quite common because the drug has a cumulative effect that leads to liver failure.

That aside it is still sad news in anyones book. Heard about it last night when i was about to watch 'Film 2008' on tv and they announced that the show was recorded before his death. I wasn't a great fan of his films so I hadn't realised just how young he was.

Hopefully his family will be able to take some comfort in knowing that through his films he gave enjoyment to far more lives than most of us could ever hope to.

Regards
JAS

It is such a shame that someone so young has died well before his time. IT annoys me in a way that someone like Heath can go like this but Paris, Lindsay and all these other ones seem to survive and you think WTF. Is it just me or do the people with talent/skill/brains always seem to go before the people who have no skills what so ever?

[bayman]

i never said he was evil etc. i said burning your countrys flag is a low act and i have no respect for him since that day.
what is it with everyone, as soon as someone dies they become sacred!?

crush, there is an old saying 'never speak ill of the dead'

You know Heath? You know Paris or Lindsay and "all these others"? How can you possibly make judgements on a persons worth so flippantly?

Perhaps Strawb is relating to talent here

No I don't rod but I will admit I put it in correctly and stupidly in what I wrote but I looked at Heath as someone who had alot of talent and seemed to live life clean as one can but you see The two above mentioned who live life to excess and have no self worth to themselves and seem to still survive.

Fair enough. Don't get sucked in by the media though. A persons worth should not be judged by what the media says nor by their problems.

LOL
....err....I mean that's terrible SS.....


....oh crap ....I can't help myself...

BTW, a few websites this morning, Wikipedia being just one,
were reporting that Ledger was found.....I'm trying to put this delicately
as possible.......with certain 'toys' in & around him IYKWIM.
It sounded a little bit Michael Hutchence-y.

Ever seen that one with Mick Jagger starring as the legendary (Irish I might add) bushranger?
Mate, that'd have to be one of the most craptacular movies ever made eh!

Not as silly as it sounds.
I think Kelly's family was second generation so Kelly and his siblings may have had a
a slight accent.

Dear oh dear.

Less than 24 hours later and already the scumballs are using this death to further their own agenda.

Yes, point taken

I was imagining a scenario of an excess taken at once rather than a long term cumulative OD

But TBH, completely unnecessary speculation on my part in the sad circumstances ..... forget I said anything

As disgusting as it gets. These people actually believe what they say and that is frightening. Makes you feel sick really.

[Dirko]

BD, not sure how long ago but he was involved in a protest against mandatory detention of illegal immigrants and burned the flag.
