No matter how anyone dies its a tragedy for family and friends, when its a talented and well respected person like Heath Ledger its a greater tragedy. This is a guy that only brought himself to the screen and was a brilliant actor because he knew himself, which is why the ignorant hate monger's discussed in the following article make me sick to my gut.
