2008: In Memory of Heath Ledger

Everyone knows that the year 2008 was the year the Australian actor Heath Andrew Ledger was taken from the public lime light. He died at the age of 28 after finishing the movie, The Dark Knight. His role there was the most critically acclaimed performance ever as the Joker.

Heath Ledger died accidentally from taking a toxic mixture of prescription drugs. Rumors has it that he was trying to sleep and have taken a dangerous amount which later took his life after being unconscious for a few minutes when his housekeep found him.

It’s too bad to see young and successful people die at the midst of their blossoming careers; while others are busy trying to find an accurate term life insurance quote for them in preparation for the future. Oh well, I guess that is how life works. You never know what will happen.

Anyway, many will surely miss Heath Ledger. I did like him very much in his movie “A Knight’s Tale” in 2001.
