Heath Ledger found dead in NYC apartment. Not blogging about this to be sensationalistic

On this day when Oscar Noms are announced, let's remember how happy life seemed for him as a nominee just two years ago. He and Michelle Williams looked so utterly content and happy with each other in so many photos, and in photos with their daughter. They went their separate ways, and life has taken the turns it has. Already I have seen some snipey remarks made about him. But his radiantly happy times as a young father should be remembered too. Whatever happened, it is very sad that he died, that nothing happened to prevent this situation. What I remember, and hope others remember, is that just two years ago he appeared with his gal looking tremendously happy; they would look at each other like "content" and "loved" were not strong enough words. That was so nice to see. My condolences to his family and loved ones.

Has he got it buttoned up? The jacket is at least for Heath Ledger, nominated for best actor for Brokeback Mountain, with co-star and fiancee Michelle Williams, nominated for best supporting actress.
