A discussion about sales, sales tips and advice, and about those who land the deal

Heath Ledger was not a notorious success chaser. In fact, he was a pretty private person who just so happened to have been very talented. I don't think he overfocused on his career, necessarily. He was apparently very committed to his family, which reportedly was undergoing some problems. But hey, way to inject your religio-political viewpoint into someone's untimely death.

Heath apparently had severe sleep deprivation problems during and after taking on the role of Joker, whom he described as a schizophrenic, psychopath with zero empathy. He stated in a recent interview that he/his body felt exhausted, but that he couldn't sleep. He was found with sleeping pills and probably the mixture of severe lack of sleep (over the course of several weeks, if not months) and too many sleeping pills resulted in his death. Even if it was an overdose I highly doubt this is a case of suicide.

I also second the other comment posted. He could have sought out super stardom long ago, but chose to be an actor and artist, carefully picking his roles after initial success allowed him to do so and lived a fairly private life outside his family and friends.

You know, it's PATHETIC that the poor guy has only been dead for about probably 6 or 7 hours and you are posting LIES.It's people like you that do hurt and damage to other people by posting your stupid opinions and not the facts.This is being said by the POLICE that it was simply an accident.How sad that you have to start such NASTY rumors.Get a life.

Maybe in Heath's case, it's not to do with Career or Success. Cos he wasn't chasing money like some actors do. Maybe Heath was a bit lonely and that's sad. Didn't he die alone after all.

Keshi.
