Brokeback Mountain: Our Community's Common Bond > Heath Ledger Remembrance Forum
Major Developments Update: Last updated 2/8/08
Mikaela:
I'm not surprised, though certainly saddened. This follows the anticipated cycle, it's the yin/yang of tabloidism: If news coverage has been respectful and decent and have been mainly including grief, tributes and accolades for a couple of days (which it has been now, with DD_L's comments and various other stories, obituaries and lovley "in memoriam" articles) - then it's time to tear the icon down and dig up some dirt. Though it's especially distasteful that they can't even wait till he's been buried. Bastards. >:(
The fact that I've been so much expecting the sleaze makes it easier to take, in a way. Though barely so, as I admit I threw a tantrum over some similar stupid story in another thread. ::)
I suppose it's safe to assume the truth - as always - lies somewhere inbetween the total glorification and the crass vilifying. But we'll never know where, and I wish the "news" would leave well enough alone. It doesn't matter to the world at large what Heath did in his private life. Nobody's business but his and his immediate family's and friends'.
Ellemeno:
Heath's father was at 421 Broome St. today, apparently. I forget where I just read it.
louisev:
Theresa, who is the former admin of Heath Ledger Central, and became a personal friend of Heath's, posted today that funeral arrangements have been made, but that since the family has not announced them, she could not share the details.
If you are interested to see a comprehensive set of selected news reports and tributes that Theresa is assembling, it is frequently updated and excellent.

and yes, multiple news sources in New York reported that Kim Ledger went to Heath's SoHo apartment, and one of them mentioned that he is waiting in New York to meet with the medical examiner.

It was first reported in the New York Daily News.

If she knows the details, but can't share them, then why is she posting that she knows the details, but can't share them? Just shut up already!
Jeeesh.
