Heath Ledger's Family Speaks on his Death.

Heath Ledger's father, Kim Ledger, with Heath's mother and sister front the local media in Heath's home town of Perth, Western Australia.
Sadly the family found out the news on early morning local radio reports, before officials in New York could notify them.

Statement:

"Heath's family confirm the very tragic, untimely, and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda. He was found peacefully asleep in his new york apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30pm US time," he said.

"We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for their well wishes and kind thoughts at this time.

"Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life, but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him. He was a down-to-earth, generous, kind-hearted, life loving, unselfish individual who was extremely inspirational to many.

"Please now respect our families need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately, thank you."

I know I have the first three comments and I'm lame... but just let me explain... They just look so casual, like they're going to play golf or something. Maybe it's just really bright, ..but I don't always have MY sunglasses, and I live in L.A.. It looks like they're trying to be fashionable. Maybe I should just chill on my comments and let them be. Intuitively something looks wrong with them though. Go to the mall already.

maybe its a nz/australian thing? whenever someone dies we always wear glasses. to cover our tears. and if we dont have any, then we go buy some. thats just what we do.

The comments in defence to the poor family makes me happy! Instead people that criticize exists a lot of very very good thinking persons.

The world is populated of various kinds of beings.

Leave this poor family alone all of you. For Christ's sake they just lost their son and brother what do you want them to do? they are allowed to look however they want. Don't you people have anything better to do or say than criticize? shameful!
