It looks like a possible drug overdose at this point but until the autopsy results are back, no one can know for sure. Considering that there was no suicide note at the scene and he was found face down, naked on the floor of his apartment, my guess is that if it was indeed a case of drug overdose, I doubt that it was intentional.

when did he ever act in a movie, rather than be a flexible mirror for light reflecting into the camera lens? i thought, and even he said so, that he didn't know how to act, and that he just looked the part of "actor". in fact, he was as real in broke as the underachieved background shots of wallpaper mountains we as real to nature in establishing nature in that film, that land, the reason why two guys of any bent might feel free to get it on in the back country. for sure what's her name who wrote the book didn't have a clue about how men are to other men, and ang lee seems to have built broke back on a few western movies he must have watched to "get the style".
why are you writing this?

I bet Batman killed him. He was the Joker after all.
Also, Joey, some think he was a terrific actor. It's all in what you like-- Wait, are we allowed to have actual opinions on this board, or do we follow lead with Isabelle lest we feel the wrath of the can't-write-for-shit housewife?

i like acting and good actors. some people think jack nicholson is a good actor, for instance -- in the movie "chinatown" i think he actually did have to act, was forced to act by polanski. just standing in front of the camera and saying interesting things for the viewer isn't really the same as acting. what kind of acting is real? i think it's more what kind of movie is being made as a movie and how much the director is able to let the actor not do covers of his own persona. "cast against type" is probably the happiest matrix for "acting". maybe that's why the secondary actors in most movies are better than the stars. certainly in brokebrain the women were much stronger actors, either because that's what the author really intended to show or because ang lee simply didn't understand americans and what americans do with each other, or because he'd simply known how to do sense and sensibility and thought no one would really notice the details. in any case, i think brokeback was one of the worst films ever made -- lazy and self-congratulatory. cool film? check out "parting glances" -- very ensemble, accidental and bright. like my favorite film, "rules of the game" -- also not at all what they thought they were going to make when they started filming, which makes polanski's chinatown that much more awesome, since p. really does and did know exactly what he wanted to say.

I never said that Brokeback was a good movie. I said that some think Ledger is a great actor. It's all in what you like in an actor, and how you relate to his/her expression of situations presented upon them. I understand your viewpoint, but this isn't a pissing contest, and your backhanded insult to those that enjoy a particular movie or actor was most unnecessary.
There is stating an opinion, and there is forcing one by implying anyone that doesn't agree with you is an idiot. I'm one to leave it open for discussion, if you can handle such things in a more polite fashion.

the vicarious shared pain for someone important who died so you can see me as special and sensitive syndrome -- let us band together in our earnest tears for he who has fallen -- the real story here is beyond the trite chest beating and hair pulling -- Artists and Actors who fall to the insidious desire Monkey dreams become as Hungry Ghosts with unquenchable appetites -- a common plot point when money is not an issue -- tragic, yes but all too common -- ask instead what is behind the Man is Doomed by His own Hand and Haunted by His own Monsters! -- this constant drive to 'do' something stretches thin the brains production of neurotransmitters (serotonin and dopamine) to the point that either they fall to depression or put that off with various Man made 'inducements'. It is natural to 'cave' for awhile and recuperate wearing a Dark raiment whilst the brain reinvigorates. These Actors and many Artists are into the next big gig thing all the time and take no solace in the Darkness the progenitor of the Light -- the Star that shines twice as bright lasts half as long kinda thing!
