Heath Ledger is dead
Yep, he is dead.
This made a small fuss in the medias and I wonder why. Let me explain my point of view on this because there is 2 theories on how he died:
1) Committed suicide.
2) Overdose.
Now, if he committed suicide, it’s a personal choice. It was his life to dispose as he saw fit and he did end it the way he wanted too. Not really newsworthy if you ask me.
If he died of an overdose, that makes him a criminal. Don’t be so shocked, it’s true. Drugs, as far as I know, are illegal in the US, and, if you break the law, that makes you a criminal. I don’t see a lot of “Drug user committed suicide” in the news, do you?
You may think it’s harsh to call a dead guy who probably never hurt anybody and, to an extent, you’re right. He may have been a really good guy, I don’t know. But according to the law, it’s a fact.
I would like to offer my condolences to friends and family who lost Mr. Ledger and I also would like to remind them of two things:
1) Regardless of whether he killed himself or died of an overdose, he chose to do so, so respect his wishes.
2) Remember that we grieves for ourselves, not for the dead person. Death is as natural to this world as the rocks and sand. Honor the memories of those who passed away but don’t fear or curse death. It’s inevitable.
