Why, man? A daughter, a great career, and admired by many. So sad right now.

That's the official version but the cast and crew from the movie says that he was by far the most normal and cheerful person on the set. He kept talking about his daughter and was just being Heath.

R.I.P you were the best Joker than any other Jokers in the history of Batman movies :/

Heath ledger I think is the best actor ever

It still upsets me

Wtf were they showing at the beginning??

This is really makes me sad even those this is a long time ago

So tragic 4 me even to this day. As an actor myself, I know that the role of the Joker did obviously have an emotional affect on him because he was method acting, where an actor LIVES AS THE CHARACTER. Meaning only he really got inside the Joker's head, nothing more. But that's a very very dark place mentally. It doesn't surprised me he had trouble sleeping. It doesn't surprise me he seemed irritated and distressed. But the death, is shocking, but above all tragic.

he never even got to see the movie.....

RIP :'( best actor

yes. he had a cold which later was found out was pneumonia. he was taking prescription medication from a doctor for it, he couldn't sleep because of it and took a sleeping pill to help; the mix caused him to pass away accidentally. his father is now helping raise awareness on dangers of prescription medications.

Heath Ledger was one of those actors who stayed in character even when not filming, when your staying in the character of someone like the joker, that's pretty rough, theres no doubt in my mind he had serious medical conditions develop as a result of staying in the character of the joker, and over dosed on sleeping pills cause he couldn't sleep, because of those medical conditions

The Dr. Said reports said that Heath was taking pills because he couldnt sleep. Also that he was looking disshelved, drinking at bars, and kind've of tense. Maybe the Joker role did have an affect on him because it was so dark and he was so into to it a point. His line between Fantasy and Reality started to blur some. Heath did say that after filming for the Joker role his mind was racing and he was very tense or hyperactive. That's when he started taking these pills to ease himself and perhaps that wasn't strong enough.

In 2012 they found his journal and on the last page was his suicide note that said "bye-bye"

Heath Ledger- Rest in Peace

:( he was a good acter rip one of my favorite jokers of all time

i miss him so much

he was only 28 and becoming one of the biggest stars thats amazing such a waste he went early may he rest in peace

R.I.P

my friends keep saying that there will be no more joker in the batman movies because they killed him with the electric chair, but there is no trace of the Joker actually dying...

R.I.P Heath Ledger you will be always remember

I keep thinking if Heath was still alive what epic movies he would still be playing in. R.I.P Heath.

I think Heath's The Joker role got to his head. When people act they have to get into the role, and I'm pretty sure that's why he died. Just like the man that was shooting in the movie theater, who idolized The Joker.

He will be remember

heath ledger is my role model RIP

He was so young

Tell him that he should star in the next movie.

me too!

Heath-The best Joker that will ever exist,no one will be better than him !

@SovereignBeing his makeup looked like it esp in the 'hit me'' scene in tdk

OMG!!!!! WHYYYYYY

I think he is alive...just JOKEING...fml

the movie was finished before he died it just hadn't aired yet though

i just found out sad

Makes me think, who did he piss off? Did he have any enemies?

miss him nobody will play and act like he did

That sleeping pill joke. Damn, straight savage doc. hahahhahaha

there was one problem with his portrayal as joker, he fell in love with Vicki vance, and im pretty sure the joker is incapable of love

no i mean in the movie

holy shit saw on a related video a batman one and i said to myself that was a damn good movie i never saw who played the joker as he was bloody brilliant so i decide to search in google i found his name was heath ledger so i type it in on youtube and i found this just fucking brilliant.... one of the best villains i have seen in a movie fucking hell....

tragic yes, heart braking yes, why i dont know?? no one knows, and no one will know but we still have and icon to remember; the joker and the incredibile actor and heath ledger, what do they have all in common well they had the best personality, the best. So we all mourn in his death as he looks down on us. We look up at him thinking and guessing for the truth. Well its about time we leave him to peace as he had the choice and we should all respect him even know he is no longer here. RESPECT !!

Even though Heath's Joker Performance and his acting career will be celebrated for ages to come. Was Heath in the right place to play the role?.. he had just split up with his girlfriend M. Williams, he was drinking, and all the pressure to perform for this movie. Jack Nicholson warned Heath about the Joker role not too get to lost in it.

"we'll keep an eye on you matt" hahahahahha

I didn't even know he died...

He was the only person that could save us from suicide squad's joker... Rest In Peace.

Respect to Heath

R.I.P. Heath Andrew Ledger aka Ennis Del Mar.

there will never be a better joker

if there is another batman movie who do you think will play the joker I have a guess Mark hamil(voice actor in batman arkaham city)

wth ? why is he so serious ?

why so serious?

WHAT DOES EVERYBODY THINK ABOUT HOW HE DIED?

Elijah Wood should play the joker now.

@manofamillionvoices1 I was saying how she shouldn't say "Gay Cowboy" Brokeback Mountain isn't a gay story like some idiots think it is, It's a LOVE story, and Love is powerful enough to transcend the insubstantial barriers of race, religion, ethnicity,.

if you accidentally take too many than ur supposed to. But they said that he took a bunch of different pills which mixed together killed him.

Hmm, will Jared Leto get lost in his role too?

rip heath ledger

Wht a shame :( poor guy he was amazin in the batman film whos going to be in the new films to come ???

@TetPr Sad. Sad.

I know this comment is going to be a bit stupid, but who the hell is going to play ''The Joker'' He was such an amazing actor!!!!!!!!!!

They're never going to be able to get a better joker.

This sucks. I was hoping that he would star in another movie. I love Batman, and the Joker. There is only one person that i know of that could replace him. Guys, go check out a guy on here call "Ciscoreo", he's a really good impersonator of the Joker.

Christian Bale is no longer making Batman films actually. :(

28 wow same age as Brandon Lee's death in 1993

He was only 28? That's way too young to be The Joker. The Joker should be a man in his 40s or 50s.

some1 told me he died cus of batman movie, his role about joker change his hole life?

joker never dies

WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heath Ledger was the best joker ever also show some respect

@MissyZilla, Thats incredibly disrispectful. Have some respect for the dead.

@sterlin0325 "a lot" is an understatement.

I aint even mad :)

well if it's animated the voice actor better be Mark hamill.

dammit... he was such a good actor....

Holy fuck he died on my birthday!

Wow, the Joker is such an evil character created, so evil that it killed someone basically in the real world, wow

Well look at this...

Joker no ;(

That suck i bet joker is crying slash laughing right now

I think he died cuz he thought he acctually was the joker

(0:00) WT?

he was a damn good joker...

Heath ledger was my favourite actor in 10 things I hate about you and the dark knight

where have all the cowboys gone :)

And that's what he was, Heath.. All the time, acting was just fun for him and its easy to see that. He took the pills because he had problems sleeping all the time, even when he had his wife.

He was leading a great life what a moron for doing that to himself and his young doughter!

Because the occultists behind their murders have "sacred" numbers. The numbers 3,7,8,9,11,22 have special meanings to these people. Heath for example, was murdered at the 22th of january. Christian Bale was arrested on the 22th of july or 22/7. JFK death date was 22/11. James Dean 30/9 Jim Morrison 8/12 Judy Garland 22/6 Anna Nicole 8/2 Keith Moon 7/9

RIP THE BEST F**KING JOKER EVER WHY JUST WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hate that director !

Note: a mainly factor of Heath Ledger's sleeping problems was that he couldn't stop thinking about the Dark Knight film and the scenes he was acting/ going to act. He couldn't get the character out of his head. Christopher Nolan wrote a film so good that it can kill someone. Without purpose of course. R.I.P Heath Ledger, life in peace for you shall be honored as the greatest actor who ever lived.

Did that guy just crack a joke about sleeping pills man?sheet!

very possible, :-)

My name is heath 😀😀😃😃

It's hard to believe the combined acute effects caused death in "low doses". Who is judging what low doses actually are? is

Matylia it's Matilda

0:55 "Gay cowboy"

He was the joker thats what killed him the pills is just how he did it

why do alot of famouse people die at 28

Not sure, who can play Joker now, would have to be someone older, Jim Carry ?????( I know, Batman Forever sucked, but lets face it, without Jim, movie would have bombed.

he was murdered

No he didn't......
