OMG Sue. Now I've lost it again. :'(
It's already in the morning here, and it's still true.
Oh God.

Update: A statement from the family.
We, Heath's family, confirm the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda, who was found in a peaceful sleep in his New York apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30 p.m. (EST)," his father, Kim, read while accompanied by mother Sally and Ledger's sister, Katie.
"We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for their kind wishes at this time.
"Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life, but few had the pleasure to truly know him.
"He was a down-to-earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and unselfish individual who was an extreme inspiration to many.
"Please now respect our family's need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately."
The family was speaking from Applecross, Australia.

Cameron:
I hope you are all okay. I thought I starting to be okay, but now I am just totally devastad again after watching the news and seeing Heath and how beautiful he was. It just is so sad, more than sad, I still don't have any real words.

I saw his parents interviewed on one of the major news networks here. It smashed my heart to pieces. I can't even begin to understand the anguish they are going through right now. It's heart wrenching.
