Would someone tell me please what the latest developments are with his memorial?  I know his body was being sent to LA , but for a funeral service or what?  I thought they did one in New York, a private one.   I'm caught up with moving here, packing and news on CNN isn't covering much anyone, as far as I can see.  What's up?   ???

Lost in South Korea,
Rayn

Hello Rayn,

According to People magazine, there was a very private memorial service held in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills on Saturday evening. It sounds like there was a brief memorial service, followed by a dinner at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Things are hush hush on who attended although Michelle and Matilda left New York on Saturday morning with several bags of luggage. Naomi Watts was seen going into the hotel. Jake Gyllenhaal is also back in LA (he'd been in New Mexico filming the movie "Brothers") so it is likely he attended, too, but no source has confirmed that officially.

Reports have said that it will take two days to return Heath's body to Australia. I am assuming that once he gets there, there will be a funeral, but no details on that have been released.

There is a rumor (unconfirmed) that there will be a public memorial service in LA next week.

Here's a brief news item about the memorial on Saturday:


Private service held for Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger's body is on its way back to Australia following a private memorial service held in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Ledger's ex-fiancé Michelle Williams and ex-girlfriend Naomi Watts both attended the service at the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary, which was restricted to family and close friends.

Watts, who dated Ledger for two years after meeting him on the set of 'Ned Kelly' in 2002, was reported to be "visibly upset" during the service.

28-year-old Ledger was found dead last Tuesday in his New York apartment. Initial results of an autopsy were inconclusive.

His family insist his death was a tragic accident.

He will be buried in his hometown of Perth, Australia.
