Quem Encontrou Heath Ledger Morto?
No dia 22 de janeiro de 2008, Heath Ledger chocou o mundo ao ser encontrado morto no auge de seus 28 anos, uma trágica notícia para os amantes de cinema. O australiano estava no auge de sua carreira como ator quando teve uma parada cardíaca em seu apartamento, em Nova York, devido a uma overdose acidental de medicamentos prescritos. Contudo, mesmo 15 anos depois, o motivo da morte do artista ainda gera muita dúvida entre as pessoas.
Perto do final de 2007, ele estava em Londres filmando “O Mundo Imaginário do Dr. Parnassus”. Antes de sua morte, ela ainda havia terminado um papel como um dos vários alter egos de Bob Dylan em “Não Estou Lá” e finalizado seu trabalho em Batman, o Cavaleiro das Trevas, em que Ledger desempenhou uma versão mais jovem do Coringa. Em entrevistas que seriam analisadas exaustivamente após a sua morte, o ator admitiu que seu papel em Batman tinha sido difícil para ele e que ele estava usando medicamentos prescritos para controlar crises recorrentes de estresse e insônia.

Though his personal life might have been in turmoil, Ledger’s professional life was flourishing in the months before his death. Near the end of 2007, he was in London filming Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. In addition to a role as one of several Bob Dylan alter egos in Todd Haynes’ I’m Not There, he had also recently finished work on The Dark Knight, the latest Batman film, in which Ledger played a younger version of the Joker, the villainous role originated by Jack Nicholson. In interviews that would be scrutinized exhaustively after his death, the actor admitted that the Joker role had been difficult for him and that he had been using prescription drugs to manage recurring bouts of stress and insomnia.
