As the world continues to mourn Heath Ledger, the police are still trying to find the cause of his tragic death. An autopsy was conducted this morning, but proved to be inconclusive, which means it will be at least a week or so before we find out any more details on whether or not Heath's death was an accident. However, members of the NYPD are still saying that suicide is unlikely and that the pills found in the apartment were actually in containers and in different rooms, not scattered around the bed as was originally reported.

Meanwhile, more of Heath's friends and fans are speaking out about their loss:


  • In Los Angeles, Russell Crowe said: "He was a gentle, beautiful man, a fine actor, a loyal friend. I feel deeply for his family."
  • Rachel McAdams posted on her MySpace page: "My heart goes out to Heath's family and friends during this time of great loss. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back and I can definitely say he had a wonderful career ahead of him. Undeniable talent and a loving new father. It's so tragic to see it all end so soon and sudden."
  • Cate Blanchett said, "I am shocked and very saddened by the news. I deeply respect Heath's work and always admired his continuing development as an artist. My thoughts are with his family and his close friends"
  • Helena Christensen said, "I am just beyond sad at this point and shocked. I was on my way over to pay him a visit when I found out. I had just left him a message and heard his voice on the machine. He was such a special and genuine person, so extraordinarily talented because he was so raw and honest with his feelings."

We continue to keep Heath's friends and family in our thoughts during this sad time.

    I don't think any other celeb death will touch me like this, I'm never usually bothered by them but this is just so sad and disturbing

    I'm deeply saddened and just totally beyond shock. Hollywood will certainly miss an incredible and unique talent and no other actor will be able to replace him. My thoughts and prayers to his family and especially to Michelle who I know will stay strong for her daughter.

    nyaradzom2001, I agree. I think for me, it's because he was so private and seemed to distance himself from all the craziness of stardom.

    i still don't believe that he is gone...
    i tried so hard not to watch the news last night and when i did turned in one for one second they were showing the coroner taking him out of his apartment (which by the way was incredibly sick how many paps were outside taking pics). i started crying...
    my 3 year old was like..."mommy why are you sad?". i told her that a very sad thing happend to a very good person and he had a little girl just like you that is going to miss her daddy very much.
    he will be missed.

    Heath was an amazing actor. I could only imagine how great of a person he was. I've always had the hugest crush on him since 10 things i hate about you. I feel so bad for his little girl. And his family aswell. This is truly shocking.
    You will be missed!
    You have no idea how many people love you!
    RIP
    Heathcliff Andrew Ledger

    i think that all the tributes that are being paid to his memory show how wonderful he was. everyone says that he had a budding career ahead of him, and that he wouldn't settle to be type cast as a typical teen movie actor. i hope that his family (including michelle and matilda) get through this, and best wishes to everyone who knew him

    drifter, how do you know it was these exact same people that bashed him? And even if you really think someone is "fugly" or "disgusting", they can change and you can still be sad and shocked that they've passed.

    I think to say the "world is still mourning his death" is a bit of an overstatement. Let's keep a perspective on here.

    Why does everyone feel the need to criticize everyone else.

    Whether you previously called him fugly or are taking this really hard (for whatever reason) to each their own.

    Why does everyone feel the need to give their .02 on someone's opinion.

    It's an OPINION people...

    just becaue people may have thought he had bad style does not mean they can't feel sadden by such a young loss of life and talent, especially for his young daughter, family and loved ones.

    I agree.I never bashed him.I have always thought he was a great talent and when there were the post about the way he dressed I never responded to them.I liked his bohemian look so there was no reason for me to say anything bad.

    I asked the Lord to forgive me for commenting on his clothes. I will still call Paris Hilton ugly and Britney spears a pig.. Heath actually seemed like a decent person.

    Even if you said he was a bad dresser, which i definitely did, it's not like you wished a heinous death on him. Jeez man! Have you never said you didn't like the way someone dressed??

    I wish that old cougar Helena Christensen would just shut up. Can't she just offer her condolences and sit down? What is the point of her going on and on about how she was about to see him and how he was on her machine? He was fiercely private and I am sure he wouldn't want his middle age fling to be discussing his actions in detail.

    I keep thinking that the next story I read will be "warner brothers admits to horrible PR move" Seriously, I cant stop hoping that this is a joke, or that warner brothers made the horrible decision to stage his death to create more attention to his movie coming out. I know, it would be sick on their part, but I just cant believe hes dead.

    sexyvegan-I totally agree. Why would she say that? She must know that Michelle and Matilda are mourning, and while that doesnt take away from the grief she must feel, have a little respect for his FAMILY. I dont care if he and Michelle were married or not, she is still his family. I really hope people dont start coming forward with horrible stories about him, just to make a buck or get alittle attention.

    I've seen so many negative comments on news sites and it makes me ill. I'm sick of hearing so called "Christians" making judgemental comments on the fact that he and Michelle weren't married yet had a child. JUDGE NOT LEST YE BE JUDGED...how is it that always seems to be forgotten? Not to mention complaining about how this could be a lead story on a news program RATHER than ELECTION coverage?????? ARE THEY KIDDING???? Just makes me sooo sad to see so many people that have such a lack of empathy and compassion. I should have come to Popsugar for my coverage...lol..cause now I'm in an ucky mood! My heart goes out to Heath, his family, his friends, and lil' Matilda. Blessed Be.

    So kimmi are they saying that he deserved to die because he had a child out of wedlock? That is just disturbing and gives Christians a bad name.

    He obviously had problems, and I don't care if he died of a drug overdose, or of natural causes, it does not make his life less important or his death less difficult for his family.

    this is wrong! I can't stop thinking about him for some reason...maybe it's just death in general or b/c he was kinda hot and a fab actor...I just don't know....I even woke up this morning thinking about him being in the morgue instead of on a set or playing with his baby.....just too sad, weird, wrong and all the other words...I got the news yesterday at about 5pm b/c a coworker started screaming and called her friend and was asking all these questions and I honestly thought Britney died or something insane...my buddies who live in Brooklyn saw him a lot when he lived there and said he was soooo frickin cool... hugs n kisses to his family, Michelle, and most of all his little girl b/c she had a cool @$$ dad!

    Jaan,

    I feel the same way you do. I can't seem to get his death out of my head either. I think it is because I have always really loved Heath as an actor, and as a person.

    I had a very hard time sleeping last night. Just laying there awake thinking of this horrible loss. His performance in BBMountain will stay with me forever. I truly believe HL will go down as the James Dean of our generation.
