      It should be done, he was in the process of filming another movie.

      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

        This is just speculation on my part, but I think the CoD could be heart failure.

        1) He had insomnia and was taking pills.
        2) He had pneumonia and was more than likely taking pills for that also
        3) He was naked at the end of the bed - probably getting ready for his massage
        4) Very stressful job of preparing/acting for The Joker role.

        I am beginning to think it was heart failure. You add all of those factors together and it's very well possible that his heart just gave out on him. Too many pills, plus all that stress from the movie. I could be (probably am) wrong, but it's a possible scenario.

        It's a damn shame that he passed at such a young age.

          The pneumonia pills wouldn't have had a significant effect on his heart, it was probably just some antibiotics. Anytime you mess with the autonomic system (the sedatives he was taking), you're messing up a number of systems. My guess is he took too many sleeping pills, depressing medullary function. I'm just a 2nd year medical student with no real knowledge, but just my guess

              I was fortunate enough to meet him at a charity event in Sydney...and he was a really, really good soul.

              A genuine bloke...no ego at all...very down to earth.

              RIP mate

                    My wife is a Pharmacist...so I'm in a decent position to comment on this.

                    People take prescription medicines all the time before sleeping...it hardly means they all want to die!

                    Sadly, people can die from prescription medication if unlucky. Different medications mixed with others, people are unaware. Some people simply have reactions. Anyone and everyone takes prescription medications...and everyone is vulnerable to some degree. Medicine is not an exact science. Often it can be a million to one thing...completely bad luck. Sometimes it's simply that people get different medicines and not realise that they shouldn't be taken whilst using others. People neglect / forget to tell their Doctor what they are taking...mix a few up...and get unlucky.

                    Most people have done this from time to time...some are just very, very unlucky when it happens.

                      Yeah that's why I'm always wary of taking too much medicine, especially since I'm already on a high dose of a steroid for my asthma.

                        His best ever film IMO.

                        I am genuinely sad that he's died. As a fellow Aussie, I've seen him since he was very young. He was always very humble.

                          I agree.

                          A friend of the family passed away a couple of months ago. Forty years old, perfect health and physical shape. No history of heart problems or any life endangering problems. He starts taking a prescription medication given by his doctor, and a couple of weeks later, found dead in bed.

                          Life is a beautiful thing, though staying alive isn't always in your control.

                          And once again, R.I.P Heath. My prayers to the family, friends and his young daughter.

                            Heard the news while I was at work tonight. Really took me by surprise, coupled with the shocking passing of a guy I worked with the night before. I really loved Ledgers roll in Dogtown and of course 10 Things.

                              R.I.P. Heath Ledger

                              He was hitting his stride with his career and it's sad to know that his daughter has lost her dad. May God be with Heath's family and loved ones in their time of need.

                              But, I've got ask a question (maybe off-topic). Why does it matter if he committed suicide or his death was accidental (which it seems to be)? Isn't a human life a human life, and shouldn't judgement be left up to a "higher power" (a.k.a. God)? Why do people find the need to judge people who commit suicide, although it is a very selfish act, as if they're less then human because of their last actions? Clinical depression is a very serious issue in our societ, so why do we treat the people that end their lives due to it as sub-human?

                                Why? because suicide is Darwinism in action. Only the strongest survive. I have a very hardline view against suicide that has caused many fights so I won't get into my views in this thread. Mainly, because even if it was suicide by him, it appears to be an accidental suicide and not him actively choosing to end his life.

                                Suicide is a coward's way out, which is why it is frowned upon.
