Farewell Heath Ledger


source: tmz.com
It's a sad day to report that one of Australia's best loved movie stars, Heath Ledger, has passed away in his Manhattan apartment early this morning.

Ledger, star of films such as Brokeback Mountain, The Brothers Grimm and The Patriot has reportedly suffered from an accidental overdose on sleeping pills. Discovered at 3.30pm by a housekeeper, Ledger was unable to be awoken. When paramedics arrived, he was in full cardiac arrest. Despite CPR being performed, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Heath is survived by former fiancee Michelle Williams and their two-year-old daughter Matilda Rose.

Truly a tragic event, I am just shocked by this news. Heath was one of the brightest young stars in Hollywood and this feels like such a terrible waste for someone with such talent and so much to live for.

Quickflix offers it's condolences to Ledger's family and friends.
