the joker is dead

R.I.P. Heath Andrew Ledger (April 4, 1979 – January 22, 2008 / pic via)
"January 22, 2008 - Actor Heath Ledger was found dead today in a Broome Street apartment, apparently from a drug overdose. Ledger, 28, was well known for his role in "Brokeback Mountain," and he stars in the upcoming "The Dark Knight" Batman movie as the Joker ... The father of one was pronounced dead at 3:35 p.m." [via NYPost]
... the hype and excitement for The Dark Knight would feel quite different from now on in ... which means naught to the young man, for he has left this mortal plane :(

  4. This was horrible news when I heard it. Everyone in the office were shocked, similar to when we heard Steve Irwin passed on.
    Thoughts are with his family, especially his 2 year old daughter, Matilda.
