Heath Ledger is one of our Aussie boys. .
He is quite well known to one of my daughters, although not since he has been in New York.
I believe that whilst incredibly talented he was never a true "Hollywood" and shunned the media and Paparazzi who hounded him.
Heath was taking sleeping pills on his admission and was struggling to find one that actually worked.
He simply had bottles of medications beside his bed not "strewn around his bed" as so suggestingly reported by the press.
Whether this was an accidental death or he felt he was so lost in that world, it is an absolute tragedy.
Why is it that when he has shown signs from the beginning that he was not comfortable with all the hype that goes with the "hollywood lifestyle" could the media not respect his differences and just left him alone in his private life?
My thoughts are with all of those who loved him.
