Heath's Family Flying to New York for Funeral

Posted by ExtraTV Staff on January 24, 2008 11:24 AM

Funeral plans have been set for Heath Ledger, a funeral home spokesman announced today. His family is expected to fly into New York tomorrow for services at the Frank E. Campbell funeral home, where his body was taken yesterday.

Most of Heath's family is from Australia. His ex fiancée and mother of his child, Michelle Williams, flew in from Sweden last night, along with their two-year-old daughter, Matilda.

No other funeral details were made available. Fans have already set up a makeshift memorial outside his Manhattan apartment.

What a sad sad tradedey for a amazing fallen star. Forget the celebrity status,we all know that. But a true amazing young person with his whole fucture in front of him. I can’t stop watching him and all accomplishments.
But most of all the goodness that has engulfed his whole being at such a young age. And courage that was as big as all the oceans.A piece of America has left us this week with the worst pain and sorrow. A true sole to be reckoned with. My heart breaks for his family and those close to him. Heath forever be at Peace!!! Robin

To the Ledger Family, May God give you comfort and peace. Heath was a loving son, brother, father, and friend. While we can look forward to the glories of heaven, one thing far outweighs them all: the fact that we will be able to spend eternity with Jesus. Our prayers are with your family.

So very sorry for your loss. Mr.Ledger was a very talented actor. I just hope people will look into just how dangerous that ambien medication is-I guess no one has done a study on this yet-how many more people will it affect like this.What a shock this is! So many are grieving with you.
