Shocked by Tragic News of Heath Ledger's Death!

I was working at Barnes & Noble today when suddenly the store became "abuzz" with gossip. People began talking on their phones and text messaging and a customer came over to tell me the news that Heath Ledger had been found dead. I was absolutely shocked and bewildered to hear the news. I simply couldn't believe it. You always hear about different famous people dying and it's always a bit sad, but when you hear of someone as young as him, and just at the beginning of a brilliant career, it is truly tragic.

Tragedies like these really make you realize how precious life is and how we really need to live every moment to the fullest and hold on tightly to those we love. My thoughts and prayers go out to Heath's family and friends, in particular his young daughter.
