I’ll never forget the first time I saw Heath Ledger on screen. It was sometime in 1998 or 1999, when 10 Things I Hate About You hit the cinema. The film is somewhat quirky and mildly entertaining but there was something about his role as a youthful rebel that went beyond the typical norm. It was this uniqueness that made him so memorable. No matter what the film is, if Ledger was in it, no doubt you’d remember his character above the rest.
The news of Heath Ledger’s passing has been the most shocking news of sometime. He was so young - only 28 - and at just a peak of what his career should have been. We here at Bronsonfive send our condolences to his friends and family, and shall dedicate our next commentary podcast in his honor. Goodnight Heath. CNN Reports.

Very shocking indeed…I know what you mean too…like A Knight’s Tale: “oh, okay”, but a Knight’s Tale with Heath Ledger, that I remember

I saw this article linked from Yahoo. accidental death due to the consumption and combination of prescription & non-prescription drugs?

I’m really troubled by the inclusion of “was found peacefully asleep.”
Peacefully? is that a euphemism for “unconscious” ?
Considering the connotation of the word “peaceful,” one can only be found “peacefully asleep” if one were about to expire any day now due to old age.
