Doesn’t seem so long ago we were all running around LA, shotgunned into Hollywood + popping off the new millennium’s cork, having a laugh. It was a crazy time. I was literally straight out of high school, feeling young & super shy and he was always so sweet within a surreal scene. I really, really would have loved to have known Heath today, at 40. No limits on what he would have accomplished. Here is what I remember: he was sensitive, gentle, kind, wickedly funny. Extraordinarily special. Time goes by, his image still a teenage heartthrob. And his work. So brilliant + honest & he was just getting started. But to remember the Human. I was on the outer orbit. Imagine those close to the sun. Thinking of all the people who knew and loved him on this day. Man, you made one hell of a mark. xo

Well, Ledger is no more but he is survived by his daughter Matilda, 13, from the love affair with his girlfriend Michelle Williams, an American actress.

Talking about Heath and a child with him, Williams opened up on Live With Kelly and Ryan on Thursday morning. She said,

It's so far so good, Every morning we wake up and I look to see if the transformation has happened and if it's turned into the next level that I keep hearing about, but we're not there yet.

Heath was reportedly found unconscious on 22 January 2008, at about 3:00 pm (EST) in his bed, at his apartment at 421 Broome Street in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. A few minutes later, he was pronounced dead at 3:36 pm.
