Montel Williams was on FOX and Friends this weekend. They wanted him to comment on Heath Ledger’s death. Montel decided to take a different route and ask “how many troops have been killed since January 1st?” I bet that caught them off guard. In fact, he didn’t even come back for the second segment. I wonder who’s choice that was.

Every five seconds we are hearing something different about Heath Ledger.

He did this, she called this person, they found this….

It’s annoying because why can’t people let them finish the investigation before they go spreading things that may or may not be true. It’s one thing to report that he died, it’s another thing to completely invade the privacy and space of grieving family members.

Vultures!

Star Jones agrees and has posted her opinion on her Huffington Post blog.

“Let’s get to what we don’t know: his death was a tragic accident, or something to the contrary. Until we know for sure, I think the media should just shut their mouths and stop all the speculation that’s been running rampant….Please let them grieve in privacy and dignity for a few days at least for goodness sake. As far as I’m aware, Heath Ledger never did anything but conduct himself in the most respectful and charismatic way….The scene outside his apartment on the night Ledger died made me sick to my stomach. People gawking and waiting around for a body bag to be removed…Might I suggest that we in the media, instead of reporting on the dead based on gossip, rumor, innuendo and anonymous sources, choose to honor this man’s memory based on his talent and the good taste we all should be exercising.”

TMZ reports:

“He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime, adding that prescription pills were found near his body…We’re told when paramedics responded, the actor was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.”

Ledger received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in Brokeback Mountain. He was filming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus at the time of his death. Ledger was 28.

Life is way too short. Sometimes we think people are invincible, especially celebrities. Tell someone that you love them.
