Tragic Death of Heath Ledger

- The 28-year-old Australian-born actor, co-star of the Oscar-winning movie "Brokeback Mountain," was found dead in his New York apartment on January 22, 2008 at 3:26 p.m. EST. And in what may be his final finished performance, Ledger stars as the Joker in "The Dark Knight." NBC's Anne Thompson reports the story of Ledger's tragic death on NBC Nightly News.
Whenever an actor dies before the Oscars and they get nominated and in some instance win, I say they are only doing it to "respect the dead" in a sympathy win. I am glad to say Heath Ledger's Oscar wasn't a sympathy win. He OWNED that role of the Joker and VERY MUCH deserved to win it all.
@@itsbonkerjojo9028 whats the problem with you. First read that comment fully. You just replied to that comment without reafing it full
@@shahinshah4035 what did they say, the deleted their comment?
@@DingusDummy I guess so 🤔
Well I think he really did go mad that's why it was such a convincing performance.
Or a sacrifice
This is the real joker. RIP The Joker
Barbie Blank gay joker you mean lol.
Bro
Barbie Blank Nope. Mark Hamill is.
Mark hamil was only a voice actor

I miss him even though I don't know him personally. He was one of the greatest Jokers. R.I.P Heath Ledger.
THE 3AM Not one,but the BEST
As a man of depression for many years, I often feel bad when I caught his name.
Not one of the greatest THEE GREATEST
The greatest
I would say he's up there with Jack nicholson
heath ledger rest in peace you will be remembered as a true joker
...and as a true actor!
the joker yes.....
Truee
acknowledge him as a fantastic actor not some character he played
@@shazam1334Joker isn't some character. He's one of the best written overarch villains in the whole DC comics and Heath is perfectly nailed his character that no one except him can do it.
For all of you people speculating, Heath had trouble sleeping, so he had a tragic mix- up of sleeping drugs, which ended up in an intoxication and these are the words in his autopsy.
+Jessika Eguía Acctually, the words from his autopsy is that he died from an accidental drug abuse overdose.
@@simonjosefsson4289 that's some weird shit
Oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine was found in his system during the autopsy. These drugs are "downers," that's why his heart stopped. This wasn't accidental.
@@kevinnguyen8612 are you saying he commited suicide
@@rs95775 LOLLL

Yup same at here. I was really waiting for more movies where he would be the joker! Even Suicide Squad! No Jared Leto sorry, Heath was better!
it's been over a year and thinking about his death still makes me cry. He was just so young and so talented. He had his entire life a head of him. And a daughter. My heart breaks for that little girl.
How are you now? 15 years later.
Heath Ledger was a legend, he will be put in the category with James Dean, Marilyn Monroe and other famous actors that died to young. His work will live forever. RIP
Even after all these years, I still miss him so much. And I always will.
❤❤❤
Man it’s really been 15 years

Rest in Peace, Heath. You will forever be missed.
It's so sad, I want to cry again. Every time I see him in a movie, it's sooo amazing, but when the scene is over, realization occurs that he's not here. How can you love someone soo much w/o really truly knowing them? I light my candle for Heath!
Yh we miss him❤️
Are you alive?
Heath will live on in the hearts and minds of all those who love him. R.I.P Heath...wherever you are.

I can't believe he's dead...
It really hurts, I started crying when I found out :'(
Been 14 years. Still can’t believe it
Don't worry Heath Ledger...Joaquin Pheonix will Continue your Journey as The Joker.
True Clown Prince of Crime Heath Ledger.
Ye
Yes
Nope he can't match with heath Ledger, he was one of a kind truly unforgettable
in my opinion, Heath Ledger is my favourite joker, no one can change my opinion, R.I.P Heath Ledger
I wish Brian lied about this story...
Same. It could be he's twin and he didnt know about it, cuuuz heath wanna be in peace and (maybe) whit he's new wife and umm he didn't want to be famous. lol that would be awesome!!!! But it's not..
Me too
It's so creepy because when I found out, I was watching Celebrity Near Death Experiences on E and all of a sudden it was interrupted to say that Heath Ledger was dead. :(
that’s literally so sad
I still remember when I first heard the news and the pain. I didn't even knew him but it hit me hard non the less
New Years passed awhile my sister rushed down the stairs saying mom mom Heath ledger died such a shame a great actor was taken from us young R.I.P Heath
It sucks he’s not around and we miss him terribly it’s been a long time ago he had died about 14 and a half years ago!
I discovered him in The Patriot, he’ll stay eternal with his Joker performance. Miss you Heath ❤
From Mexico, all our love and admiration for you Heath, a great actor, a great human. We already miss you dear Heath, God bless you and hope that you are right by his side.
When I found out about his death I just couldn't believe it. It was a headline in the newspaper and at first I actually thought that I was seeing things. He was so great in Brokeback Mountain. RIP Heath ledger
To Heath Ledger, " I wish I knew how to quit you " ~sigh~
I'm a new fan of yours, you did well in the industry of showbiz. Enjoy your 2nd life there Mr. Heath.... Thank you!
whoa. I'm shocked. first Jonathan Brandis in the age of 27, commited suicide 2003 he was my favorite actor... and now Heath in the age of 28. though career... both will be missed. both were great actors. rest in peace.
Reporters summoned paramedics that ledger was so unconscious at the time of his death that he viewed a shadow of a Bat in his ceiling in his apartment while suffering from acute intoxication resulting his death was an accident due to drug abuse and misuse. RIP ledger
He died a day before my birthday. I never feel like celebrating it. It's terrible
+dj motionless Why would you celebrate the day before your birthday?
OMG I thought he died 2 years ago. How can I miss this kind of news. I never knew that it was almost 11 years
Best joker ever...... but my biggest sadness is you are not in this world to receive ur Oscar award which u deserves for ur mind blowing performance as a joker... But u will always in our heart forever.... Rest in peace Mr. Legend.. Still crying... Missing u a LOTTTTTTT..................
he was great in all of his movies!
rest in peace!
I am still in tears because of his death
The important thing for everyone to know is that he didn't kill himself
Miss you, angel❤️
Love you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I believe he did kill himself he couldn't live with the fact he did that dumb ass broke back mountain movie for the JOKER ROLE!!! A STRAIGHT!! MAN!!! with a CHILD that will fuck ya mind up when you sit back and realize what you did for a role or 💰 HOLLYWOOD IS SICK!!!!
@@bigsheed6722 No he died because of an overdose not intentionally tho he took 6 pills (painkiller) and between 1-3 PM his brain couldn’t continue anymore and so he stopped breathing
Why so serious?
This is why you really shouldn't do drugs.
He wasn't on drugs, he overdosed of meds.
i watch The Dark Knight and when I saw Heath Ledger's Joker say I think we're destined to do this that just broke my heart
He was a really good actor for Joker , now who is gonna play joker ? :(
Nobody!
Joker was deleted for ever!
Noobzexe damn (
True!!! He WAS the best joker!! EVER! Even better than this new 2016 Jared Leto joker
The new joker is a joke.
Crukk - Gaming isn't joker suppose to be a joke
'10 things I HATE about you'
2008 dead...
After 13 years of death he is still in screen
I remember sitting in my room on my computer when my sister came running in crying, "he's gone! He's dead!" And I freaked out because she didn't say who! I thought she was talking about our dad or brother, idK! I was like, "WTF< WHO"S DEAD, whaT?" And she goes, "Heath ledger!" And i just....... yeah. That's how I found out. I'm still sad about this but my sister scared me half to death thinking it was a relative x_x
Awww.. Cute. I love heath, and he's joker! I wanna be the next genderbent joker. lol
This is so sad! I just want to cry. To think that he was so young and his life has been ended. So so so so sad. I mourn for him. May God help his family.
Hii
Man imagine how big he would have been after dark knight
Still here missing those acting skills and great manners. Lovely young man …
Atleast he didn't suffer. He died peacefully. I wish to die in my sleep as well. R.I.P to the legend Heath Leager.
In my opinion he was the most talented artist of 21st century with Christoph Waltz
I'm crying... I also was crying then when i heard that he dies. He's joker was brilliant!!!!! I love him and i miss hin every day.
Now he’s always smiling
im still crying
:(
sempre vai estar em minha minha memória
pena que atores tão bons se vão tão cedo

"do you know how I got these scars?

What Program do you use to get these messages off the TV.
OMG
Came to know he is already dead after watching dark knight, can’t believe it. Such an exceptional role he did as joker. I became his fan. Very sad he isn’t among us anymore. RIP Heath. We will miss you.
R.I.P. Heath. A true talent.
Hiii
Yes. He is the greatest JOKER

I remember this like it was yesterday.RIP
A year since he has been gone i miss him something awful just think there will never be a new heath ledger movie again. thats reallyy hard to live with once you've seen one.
Heath Ledger was a great person. I'm so sad about his death but I am glad he is in a better place now. God bless Heath Ledger. P.S. I love the song Arms of an angel
Legends Never DIE 2019 RIP
2021
I just watched his movie now and i can't believe he's dead.
He was such a great actor. R.I.P Heath Ledger
I’m sure Dark Knight cast his family, friends and his fans were devastated when they find out they were all heartbroken I know that when it came out in theatres he was already dead which is so sad god we all miss him it also makes sense that he wasn’t in the third Batman movie!
I was surprised why he wasn't in the third movie until I know that he was dead 😔
@@salamyaya162 he would’ve been in the third one if he didn’t overdose that’s why he wasn’t in the third one cause he died from drug overdose before the dark knight joker came out in theatres!
10 years. 😔💔
Irvin Peña 10 Years Later 💙❤️
16 years.😢
R.I.P *the best joker*
This makes me wanna cry:,( too many actors overdosing. Poor kid. Heath was amazing :'(( 😥😭😨😢💔
Extremely sad and unbelievably about Heath's death. There's a similarity between him and Brandon Lee as they both died at age 28 before the released of their movie with a bad looking clown face (Brandon as The Crow and Heath as The Joker). But died differently as Brandon accidentally killed by movie prop, and Heath facing down on bed by accidental drug overdose. Both their last name begins with "Le." --This is very something and again, sad being gone too soon for both.
Happy Birthday 💞
batman must of really kicked joker's ass
must have
0:44 "well the Easter bunny was generous this year", says the funniest housekeeper ever...........
RIP Ledger
Heath was played as The Joker, he was great.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So sad! He was amazing!
If anyone after 2019 Joker Movie ?
I still cry when i know hes dead. He was a brilliant actor. He didn't deserve to die. Sometimes i wonder how successful he would have been now if he was still here. I will always remember him as William Thatcher (A Knights Tale), The Joker (The Dark Knight), and Gabriel (The Patriot). Good Bye Heath. May you be in a better place. :'''''(
R.I.P Heath Ledger 1979-2008
he locked himeself in a hotel room without food or drink! that made him crazy! why did he do it! SO HE CAN BECOME THE JOKER! he wanted to have a good role in the movie so he did that! then he could not sleep so the doctors gave him pills and he overdosed! SO HE BECAME THE JOKER!
TRUE ACTOR!
DylanTyler238 No, it is called stupidity, I am sorry, but that is what it was. The poor guy was pushed too far by Nolan and he is sadly dead now. I loved Heath, but now his daughter and wife have to live without him.
the joker killed him because he played him better
***** at least he gave a breath taking performance before he bit the bullet eh thats something
Well, no matter what I think, I am glad he is getting recognized, he was such a good actor. Poor guy, I wish he rest in peace.
+Michael Tackett artificial and one note performance...? are you fucking insane?
2019?
Oh boy I can not believe that it has already been sixteen years since he had died from an overdose so sad man a young talented actor
In Loving Memory Of
Heath Ledger (1979-2008)
he got addicted to his character
Let's just hope Jared Leto doesn't do the same.
+Rachel O'Neil amen 😭😭
Random Rachel one joker is gone,two supermen are gone and 1 batman is gone
