Settlement Reached In Heath Ledger Insurance Suit
Posted on Thu Jan 29, 2009 10:30 AM PDT
A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit over a life insurance company's refusal to hand over the money on Heath Ledger's $10 million policy, the Associated Press reports.
Ledger's daughter, 3-year-old Matilda Rose, is the beneficiary of the policy.
The insurance company had refused to pay the value of the policy while they investigated whether Ledger, who died in New York last January, committed suicide.
A coroner later ruled The Dark Knight star died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.
Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
Aren't you glad to see that Matilda will get the money she's rightfully entitled to!

Selfish reckless idiot.
If you knew the story you would know that he was not completely at fault. He was prescribed drugs that when taken together prove fatal. The doctors in the US and Australia who prescribed these drugs need to be investigated. He should have also let all of his physicians know of what medications he was taking to prevent what has now unfortunately happend.
Educate yourself before you spout off about things you don't know anon 10:44.
Educate yourself before you talk about
a man that was totally depressed before
he died..!!! He knew which drugs to take
and so what the money will probably go
to his family..He is the idiot who was
found face down naked on his bed who should of been in the hospital..!!
I also agree with the first poster. Heath was a selfish narcissist and emotional and reckless idiot. He got what he deserved. Typical of Hollywood actors, so self involved. But then look at most of them, drug addicts, alcoholics, mentally deranged sex perverts, and miserable for life!
It was Heath that should have educated HIMSELF. He was the one on drugs and let this happen to himself. He is to blame. And now he has paid the price for his lack of EDUCATION!
Heath is just another celebrity drug addict that basically took his own life. So stop acting like he is the poor victim. He knew what he was doing and he let it happen to himself. Now his daughter wont have to grow up with a mentally unstable dad who was a "legal" drug user.
Let's hear the winner for the Oscars
Best supporting Actor goes to Heath
Ledger!! again do us all a favor put
him in a category by himself don't
bother with the other supporting actors
Sag didn't even acknowledge that he had
passed away in the memorial segment..!
What is with this guy is he above all other actors out there..
Heath is emblematic of a society in decay.
Let me know when we no longer exist.
I think this Ledger guy is way over rated. He was really insignificant in the scheme of things. Any awards or accolades he is getting are from sympathy. If he had not died, then he would not be any ware as famous as he is now. In Hollywood, if you can’t make it to the big time, then dying will do it.
Agree with the second poster......
The rest of you are just looking to quickly place blame...his daughter is without her father and you think that's all fine and dandy. No one knows how depressed he was or what the circumstances were so quit acting like you're all saints.
So true 11:05, 11:06 and 11:08. Good posts.
11:09
You must be a very depressed and miserable person since you associate so deeply with Heath and his drug addled problems, lol.
To 11:09. His "daughter" is far better off without that mentally chalenged "father" in her life. Now she does not have to have a perverted medical drug addict of a father to have to grow up with (and any abuse from him) and she now has ten million. So things turned out just right.
LOL 11:15 AM. Love the post.
11:12
Far from depressed and miserable. Who says I "associate so deeply with Heath and his drug addled problems" just because I think it's sad that it had to happen. He could have had help, but it's too late now. How is that a depressed way of looking at things? I would say that's rather optimistic.
Nice try.... puke
To: 11:30 AM. Why should anyone "help" a loser and psychotic like Heath? People like that are broken and a waste of society. Survival of the fittest. Heath did not make it so it only proves he is a loser!
90% of the comments here are so morbid. You people sound like the depressed ones.
11:30. Sorry to disappoint you, but you DO associate yourself with him. You are here whining abut "poor" Heath. The sooner you realize that you are defending someone that was crazy and had a drug problem, the sooner you can get help yourself before you do the same. Remember, the only way to avoid the same thing happening to you is to confront your own mental problems, which you associate with heath's so much, so you can get some help. Your life must really be awful. Please get some help before it's too late for you. And good luck and take care.
11:44
You are here reading them, and then responding to them. So you are in the same boat that you are accusing other of, lol.
You are defending Heath because you see a lot of him in yourself. Dependency Association much?
Puke???? Heath and you are the "puke" of society, lol.
Now if Britney would die too, then the planet would be a much cleaner place!
11:44 you are hilarious. Playing doctor over the internet how cute. I do not have mental problems and last I checked your posting about him here too. What does that make you? Where exactly did I "defend" his actions? Please point that out since you seem to know so much about me. It appears you are over analyzing and are the one in need of help. Nice way to try to throw unnecessary jabs to someone over THE INTERNET! Priceless. Yes - you must be the all knowing. (insert sarcasm)
Having compasion for fellow human beings makes me a basket case huh? What does it make you since you ignore reality and refuse to help make society better? Don't bother responding. I'm done with your pointless dribble. Go play somewhere else.
Poor 11:51. I must have gotten to you, and so easily too. Just shows how weak you are. You are now ranting on, which also shows how insecure you are and that I was right, lol. And all because you have a deep need to defend him since you associate with him so much. You only have compassion for those you associate with. Again, you see a lot of him in yourself. Please get some help. You are now ranting on and whining so much, trying to prove that you don’t' have problems. Well, we can all see that you do, lol.
11:51 AM. No one has to be a doctor to see you have issues. That is how obvious your "needs" and issues are.
Wow 11:51. I guess I really should leave you alone. You are so fragile that you may do yourself in anytime. And I don’t' need the feds coming after me because you “offed” yourself because of something I said.
So you have sympathy and compassion for a sick twisted pervert like Heath. Shows how low your standards are, lol.
Hey everyone, 11:51 is the only one here defending that scum. Ignore them, they are probably one of Heath's fans or family members. To funny!
HONESTLY I WOULDNT BLAME 1151 IF THEY DIDNT COME BACK, BUT I HOPE THEY DO SINCE THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO SEEM TO HAVE ANY INTELLIGENCE AND SELF ESTEEM. WHY TRY TO GET THROUGH THE HOPELESS SCUM THAT KEEPS POSTING NUMEROUS TIMES JUST TO TRY TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE PEOPLE ARE ON THEIR SIDE? COMPLETELY PATHETIC.
YOU GO 1151!!!!
I see that 11:44 is projecting their own insecurities. That's typical.
Have a great with your multiple personalites, anon, anon, anon, timmy, anon.....Isn't it time for your therapist appointment? No one here has stooped as low as you and you call others names. Again, projecting. You can get cured of that.

F*CK YOU AAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
you CAN'T diagnose someone just for a F*CKING POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG you all make a huge thing about nothing, yeah he died, and everything i came here to read about heath, cuz i liked the dark knight movie and then i found all of this CRAPPY POST of SICK TWISTED PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY'RE CAPABLE OF DIAGNOSING SOMEONE.
AGAIN..... OOOOOHHH MYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
f*ck u ALL
He killed himself since he could not stand himself, lol.
Typical Hollywood celebrity drug addict and loser. Now he is dead. Good, Now if the rest of them would die, the world would be a far better place without the sex perverts and mentally deranged itiots that call themselves "artists".
3:34 PM. With a post like yours, with all that hate and crazy anger, it is very easy to diagnose someone like you from a post. YOU ARE NUTS, LOL>
Yep, it's not hard to tell who is crazy from a post or two. After reading the posters post at 3:34, you can tell they are one of the real psychotics in this world. Thank God they are not in my town, I hope!
