Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment in New York, January 22 at approximately 3 in the afternoon. He was lying face down and apparently a bottle of sleeping pills at his side. He was 28 and had just finished his role for the next Batman installment, The Dark Knight, starring as the Joker.
Kami-sama.
I have no words. This is just pure shock and disbelief for me. It's disheartening to have someone who's unknowingly touched your life to have passed away so suddenly. Besides the fact that I'm already sick right now, this news just makes my heart heavier with grief. It's like a silent kind of pain that creeps in your heart as tribute to an idol that you've never personally met but have been greatly inspired by their work.
You will greatly be missed, Heath. You've taught me so many things about life, love and all the strings attached to it. Maybe for once, I'll pray.
For a friend that has been made dearer by touching my life through his craft.
Amen.
