In Memory of Heath Ledger.

During your journey on your final flight home.
White wings will carry you and you will be flown.
To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in.
To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.
He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing.
As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.


Song Used:

Jesus Christ - Brand New


You'll never be forgotten Heath.

You made Australia proud.

Rest in peace.

January 22, 2008 -- Oscar-nominated Australian actor Heath Ledger died today in his SoHo apartment of an apparent sleeping-pill overdose, police said. He was 28.

Ledger was found naked by his maid and a massage therapist with whom he had a scheduled 3 p.m. appointment at his apartment at 421 Broome Street.

When they went to his bedroom at about 3:20 p.m., Ledger was lying face down and unresponsive, police sources said. Cops said sleeping pills were strewn around the bed and there was a bottle next to the actors body, police sources said.

Unable to wake him, the maid and therapist called 911 at about 3:26. Emergency workers were unable to revive the star and he was pronounced dead at 3:35 p.m.

Bottles of Diazepam and Alprazolam, both anti-anxiety drugs prescribed in his name, were found in the house, according to law enforcement sources.

Ledger's uncle and confidant, Neil Bell, said that his family was "devastated," according to close friend, LA-based private investigator Paul Baressi.

"He said the father and mother are devastated because they found out of his death through the media," said Baressi, who talked to Bell less than a half an hour after Ledger's death.

Locals in the neighborhood said Ledger was low-key.

"We always greeted each other, it's such a shock," said Julie McIntosh, 32, who works in a hair salon on his block.

It was unclear if it was an intentional or accidental death.

Ledger split last year from partner, Michelle Williams, with whom he has a daughter, Matilda.

Ledger's early career as an actor was marked by small roles in several independent features in his home country of Australia.

He broke onto the international movie scene in 1999 with his turn as the brooding high-school heart-throb who captures Julia Stiles' attention in "10 Things I Hate About You." After starring roles in "The Patriot," "A Knight's Tale," and "The Brothers Grimm," Ledger earned critical acclaim with his poignant performance as a gay cattle rancher in director Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain," for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor.

In 2007, he appeared in the independent film "I'm Not There," as one of many incarnations of Bob Dylan. He recently wrapped filming on 'The Dark Knight,' the sequel to 'Batman Begins,' in which he plays the villainous Joker. His most recent role was in director Terry Gilliam's 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,' which is listed as still "in production" on imdb.com.

Ledger's love life earned him as many headlines as his acting career. He has been romantically linked to such A-list starlets as Naomi Watts and Heather Graham. He has a daughter, Matilda Rose, with actress Michelle Williams. The couple, praised for their down-to-earth lifestyle in Brooklyn's Carroll Gardens, announced their split earlier this year.

So Abraham was called, he took his son Issac up on that mountain.

He bound him and took that knife to his son's throat

But the angel of the Lord

Abraham stop, the Lord will provide the Lamb.
