Heath Ledger - News Accounts

>:( >:( :( :'( :'(
I was just flipping through all the news channels and all the entertainment shows (for the past hour or so) trying to find any coverage and any new details.
And, so, I landed on Fox for a bit. >:( I never watch Fox, but they happened to be doing a rather long story on Heath. So, I watched. And, now I regret it. They showed footage, at least two times, of Heath's body being taken into the medical examiner's van. I will never be able to get that image out of my head now. Ever.
I'm totally and completely shocked and appalled that the medical examiner's weren't more discreet. I mean, he was covered up... but it was still awfully, awfully graphic and way, way too accessible to TV cameras.
Poor, poor Heath.
:'( :'( :'(

I saw that image, too, and deeply, deeply regret it.
Here is something of a balm for now - a surprisingly sensitive piece from AOL, of all people:

Thanks Friend. Geez. I think I'm going to have nightmares about that image from the news footage for a while.

I saw it too Amanda, and like you I'll never get that out of my head. It was disgusting, heartless, cruel and awful. I hope somebody edits that out on their future reporting. I've turned it off. I can't watch it anymore.
