Could something have been done?

It’s come out that the masseuse that found Heath Ledger’s unresponsive body called MaryKate Olsen not once, but twice, before calling 911 from Ledger’s cell phone for help. My mind is totally boggled trying to figure out what the reasoning for this could be. It really doesn’t matter what their relationship had been in the past or was at the time, it just doesn’t make sense. It was reported in the news today stated that a period of twenty six minutes lapsed between the first call to MaryKate and the 911 call. I can’t help but wonder what would have happened had 911 been called earlier. More will be known if the tissue and toxicology can come up with a tight time frame for the actual death.

Renfro, with an n

Recently 25 year old actor Brad Renfro was found dead. I was watching an E! news show where they were announcing the young actor’s untimely death. I heard them give their announcement and I was quite surprised to look up at the television screen to see Brad’s last name spelled incorrectly. They showed his name as Redfro. The letter d is not near the letter n on the keyboard. Don’t these shows use some sort of quality control before they air? For all of the niceties they showed, they could have had the decency to get his name right. An autopsy was performed. The toxicology results will reportedly take up to six weeks, so no official cause of death has been made yet.

Heath Ledger autopsy inconclusive

The autopsy of actor Heath Ledger was performed today. Today’s findings were inconclusive, and the coroner is calling for more tests including toxicology and tissue tests. Those results are expected to take approximately another two weeks. The most popular theory is accidental overdose, as bottles of anti-anxiety and sleeping pills were found nearby. A rolled up $20 bill was also found at the scene and will be routinely tested. It has been made very clear that no illegal drugs were found. Heath said in an interview with The New York Times given in November 2007 that he was stressed and having difficulty sleeping while filming the Batman movie Dark Knight. In that interview he mentioned he’d taken two Ambien pills to help him sleep but he had only slept for an hour.

Actor Heath Ledger found dead

Heath Ledger was found dead today in his lower Manhattan apartment. His housekeeper went to inform him that the masseuse he had an appointment with had arrived and found him nude on the floor at the foot of the bed. The death is possibly from a prescription pill overdose, as three empty prescription and nonprescription bottles, all of the sleeping pill variety, were found nearby. No note was found and at this time no foul play is suspected. An autopsy will be performed late tonight or tomorrow.

The actor was named after the main character Heathcliff in his mother’s favorite book Wuthering Heights. He was born in Perth, Australia in 1979. At the young age of 28 he was already well known for his Oscar nominated role in Brokeback Mountain. He had a daughter Matilda with Brokeback costar Michelle Williams, but the two had separated last year. Ledger was most recently seen in the Bob Dylan biographical film “I’m Not There”. He’d recently finished filming his role of the Joker in the next Batman movie “The Dark Knight” which is currently set to open in July.
