No Brokeback Two...


Tuesday marked a tragic day for the American entertainment industry. Our very own Heath Ledger entered immortality at 3:37. The autopsy performed wednesday was inconclusive. It will take approxamately ten days to know for sure the mysterious circumstances under which Ledger died. Speculation believes that Ledger overdosed on the sleeping pill Ambien, but it doesn't seem like suicide. Heath Ledger was a versatile actor and known for his rolls in 'Hard Candy' and '10 Things I Hate About You'. His career was just taking off but his bright future has burnt out. He was twenty-eight years old.
This incident is similar to the death of Blonde Bombshell, Marilyn Monroe. She was a young star who died of a drug overdose in 1962.
