It’s been 7 years since Heath Ledger died in mysterious circumstances. Many news portal at the time announced the reason behind the death as drug over dose, but the conclusive result was no where to be found even after all this time.
The Academy Award(Oscar) winning actor died on January 22, 2008 at the age of 28, despite several reports and police announcements suspicion still surrounds his death.
Sources at that time informed the media that the actor locked himself in a hotel room for months to perfect and prepare for the Oscar winning role of Joker in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight”.
But many psychiatrists around the world are expressing doubts that the death might be a result of split personality development. The German documentary ‘Heath Ledger: Too Young To Die’ which is yet to release, is expected to show some shocking revelation from a diary that the actor was maintaining while getting prepared for the role of joker.
In an interview with Empire in 2007, the actor said, ‘It’s a combination of reading all the comic books I could that were relevant to the script and then just closing my eyes and meditating on it. I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices – it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath – someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts. He’s just an absolute sociopath, a cold-blooded, mass-murdering clown.’
In the documentary, Heath’s father, Keith is seen reading out the pages from his diary. According to the diary, Heath took inspiration from hyenas, clowns, comic strips and Alex DeLearge from A Clockwork Orange while preparing for the Oscar-winning role. Ledger ends his diary with ‘bye-bye’ scribble across a page, which leaves us with big question ‘Did Joker killed Ledger?’
