Looks like he's spilling a bottle of pills on the floor. Which makes the cartoon inaccurate since (apparently) no drugs were reported strewn about the room. [Razz]

Actually the initial reports said that pills were found about. Initial reports also said he was found on the floor (but in reality he was on the bed). Batman is trying to hide the fact that he MURDERED Heath Ledger.

I wonder if it was some kind of auto-erotic asphyxiation that was goin' on. He was nekkid, after all.

There was a shopping list of drugs found in the Olsen apartment, Xanax, Valium, some others prescribed in Europe, but I still haven't seen anything conclusive regarding what was found in his system. I suppose whatever he wasn't taking, Mary-Kate was.

Okay. Ha.

So, how much of the Batman picture did Ledger shoot?

Tim, I read on Aint it Cool News that Ledger's performance was 100% done with post production so it was in the can, so to speak. More interesting will be what happens to his role in Terry Gilliams new movie, which was in production.

Tim, His role was that of the Joker in the latest Batman movie, Dark Knight.

The thing that puzzles me the most is the rolled up $20 dollar note that was found near his body, without any traces of drugs in it. Could this have something to do with auto-erotic asphyxiation?

Thanks, Mike. I must have read the initial story wrong, it sounded like he was shooting Batman now. I didn't catch the Gilliam info.

[oops]Thanks, Cameron, also...

The police have reported that no Illegal drugs were found in the apartment. Also it was not the Olsen's apartment he was found in, it was his own. He was the only person living in it.

The very first person notified about his death after being discovered? One of the Olsen bitches.

Didn't know he was working on a Gilliam film. I think Terry Gilliam is severely cursed ... what project of his HASN'T had complications?!
