The late actor’s father, Kim, and mother, Sally Ledger, along with his sister Kate released a statement today on news that the actor, who died unexpectedly last January from an accidental prescription drug overdose, had received a Golden Globe nomination:
“We thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for honoring Heath’s performance in The Dark Knight. This nomination is deeply appreciated and is not lost on those of us who continue to love and miss him. We are so proud that our boy’s work is being recognized in this way.”

But are they proud of his selfishness and stupidity, that is causing his daughter so much pain.
Amen post number one - -
Thats what I was going to say.
AGAIN WE GET TO SEE HIS FAMILY WAVING TO EVERYONE …THE LOUSY PARENT HE TURNED OUT
TO BE …A MAJOR DRUG ADDICT.. WE ALL KNOW THAT HIS PARENTS ARE GOING TO DEDICATED TO
MATILDA AGAIN.. SO WHY DIDN’T THE BASTARD THINK OF THAT BEFORE HE TOOK ALL THOSE PILLS
SO THE WORLD GETS WHAT THEY WANT .. WHY NOT GIVE IT TO HIM.. SINCE HE DIDN’T WIN FOR
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.. AND THIS TIME DEDICATE TO MICHELLE TOO.. SINCE SHE IS THE MOTHER
OF HIS CHILD.. THAT BY THE WAY BROKE UP WITH BECAUSE OF HIS ADDICTION.. AND HE LIVED
IN NEW YORK CITY AND SHE LIVED IN BROOKLYN
screw you guys!! don’t tell me you don’t know someone that’s been through that, people just can’t handle it sometimes and they take a bunch of pills.. and it was an acident that he died, that was the last thing he wanted to do!! You people need to grow up or stop posting your shit
Your wrong post number 4.
He knew what he was doing, I just find it sad that people take up for drug addicts when they are to damn self centered and kill them selves.
When you take a bunch of pills, its not an acident by the way.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! You all, except post #4, need to go out and play in traffic. Jesus Christ! It was proved that he accidentally overdosed on sleeping medication and medication he was taking for a cold at the time. Get your facts straight you pieces of shit. He was a talented actor, caring father, and a geniune guy. I am willing to bet everything I own that noone would talk that shit and run their mouths infront of their family or Heath’s close celebrity friends. You are pathetic, he is not.
His work in The Dark Knight was wonderful, and I really hope that his nod will turn into a win for his memory. Fuck all your negative shits t(’.'t)
Seriously though, go play in traffic.
Just another Hollywood Idiot, praised for being reckless.
A few points -
Leger most likely did have a major substance abuse problem, but that isn’t what killed him (at least not directly). It could have. It probably would have evidentially. He mixed medications, which is’nt quite the same thing as knowingly taking a lethal dose of a drug. I doubt that it was an intentional suicide. Not that mixing medication prescriptions isn’t incredibly STUPID, it is, but many people do it —- even people who don’t have substance abuse problems. So, I think it important to make that distinction, don’t grab multiple sleep aids or switch between them, the same goes for cold medications.
Brooklyn is part of New York City.
What is wrong with some of you, honestly. If he had a substance abuse problem, it was an illness and something to be pitied. He was a good father, which is what mattered. His death was an accident and a tragedy.
Being reckless is now an ILLNESS .
Everything is an illness. LOL.
