some last thoughts on Heath Ledger

[vixenesque93]

If it was accidental overdose/unknown health condition/drug interaction/accidental death of some sort (we don't know for sure and I'm leaning towards this opinion until I hear otherwise): Absolute tragedy.

If it was suicide?

"Man has the right to die when and how he will" (Liber OZ)

Yes, it's tragic. Yes, it hurts those left behind. Yes, in its own way it is selfish.

If someone I cared about was contemplating suicide...yes, I would do my best to try and stop them, and to help them. But in the end the final decision will rest with the individual and there is only so much I can do about that.

There is also the fact that he had pneumonia at the time. I'm holding out for the fact that had some part in it.

I was thinking the exact same thing yesterday when I read your post and others about this death, Liber OZ.

Agreed anyone of us would do what we could for those that were contemplating suicide. The thing is when one truly resolves to this they usually do not talk about it.

From what I know about what projects he was working on at the time, his pneumonia, and Ambien, I'm inclined to believe it was accidental. I can't imagine playing the role of an egregor like the Joker is easy.

But now that I think about it even more, now I'm not sure that it wasn't suicide. I don't know, were his problems so bad that the only solution was to get away from them forever?
