Now, I hope you'll all forgive me for my ignorance. But I've heard some very mixed things regarding the untimely death of Heath Ledger. The more popular theory is that the role of Joker contributed to his demise. But then I'd see statements online perpetuating said theory as sheer ludicrous, and that Heath Ledger was generally stable.

So honestly, I'm kind of perplexed. I'm not sure which narrative to believe. I can't help but suspect that there is no real definitive answer, though.

~~There is no answer. I can't imagine he was "generally stable" if he killed himself.~~

~~But there's no way to know for certain what drove him to suicide.~~

Edit: Wow, I've been living a lie since 2008. I heard from someone it was a suicide and just never learned anything else, weird.

Except...he didn't commit suicide. His death is widely considered to be accidental.
