Heath Ledger was an Academy Award-winning, Australian actor best known for his roles in 'Brokeback Mountain' and 'The Dark Knight.' He died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in 2008. Considering how shady this guy was he is understandably a sacrifice target. What do others make of it? I wonder how these secret societies choose their victims? I mean why Britney Murphy or Heath Ledger 2 deaths that have always intrigued me, especially as Heath was so dark playing the joker and Brittany had high levels of toxins in her blood.

Highlights
Heath Ledger Personal Life
Heath Ledger’s sinister portrayal of the Joker makes Nolan’s film much more intriguing than Tim Burton’s 'Batman' (1989). Batman's sacrifice takes its ignominy not so much from the act.
