You haven't seen it. Give him a break.

The guy could act. I'm sure he could pull off the Joker and anything else. I don't see him as a "type" at all.

Yes, I think he deserves credit where credit is due.

Again.

"Yes, I think he deserves credit where credit is due."

silly...

i meant he wouldn't care what people think of him, because his main worry would be being dead

I'm not sure if anyones said so yet.. but I've seen another version of that quote where it ends with "Its a lot of fun!"

??

This is interesting too

The fate of an eerie video of actor Heath Ledger "drowning" himself, set to a song by Nick Drake, is being mulled by the estate of the late singer-songwriter.

Drake committed suicide in 1974.

Yesterday Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment, with prescription pills nearby.

An autopsy conducted by New York's Medical examiner has proved inconclusive.

The black-and-white Drake clip, which Ledger shot and edited himself, was included in a multimedia installation, "A Place To Be" - devoted to Drake at Seattle's Bumbershoot festival in September 2007.

It was also on display during a Drake celebration of the same name in Los Angeles in October.

In it, Ledger turns the camera on himself while Drake's "Black Eyed Dog" plays.

At its conclusion, he drowns himself in a bathtub.

"Black Eyed Dog" is allegedly the last song Drake wrote before overdosing on the anti-depressant amitriptyline.

Sources have confirmed that the video is the property of the Drake estate.

They are now deciding whether to release it in any form.

Someone posted that already. Too lazy to figure out who. But you've reiterated the point, and that's important.

people should be free to commit suicide.

I think part yes, part no.

some people say suicide is selfish...which, it is. but, its also selfish to try and force someone who doesnt want to be alive to stay alive. theres no debating that.

and as far as the wierd ledger video featuring music by someone else that died of an overdose....whats so weird about coincedences?

Yeah, but if 103 920 vs. 1 means anything, as far as a ratio against suicide goes, it's more selfish to cop out and leave that far percentage behind, wouldn't you agree?

I 100% agree with what sway said a few posts above, as I've been saying it for years.

People say it's a tragedy that, say, cobain killed himself -- he WANTED to die! He got what he wanted! Don't cry! Celebrate!

Okay, valid points, but I would never want to incourage suicide, as selfish as it may be.

I wouldn't ENCOURAGE it, but..

Sometimes, there's seemingly no other way. Hmph... :(
