Here is the snippet from it.

"

A US newspaper columnist has sparked controversy by describing Heath Ledger as "reckless and greedy" and "selfish".

Andrea Peyser, in her column in today's New York Post, wrote she was disgusted the 28-year-old Australian actor chose to "self-destruct" with prescription drugs. "

""There is nothing noble or beautiful about the so-called accidental death of Heath Ledger, a man with everything to live for - a beautiful daughter, a blossoming career, and a Victoria's Secret catalogue-full of willing babes," she wrote.

"He threw it away, as gamely as if he had put a gun to his mouth and pulled the trigger.

"He was reckless and greedy.

"He was fundamentally selfish. "

""Cry for Heath's daughter," she said.

"Cry for his parents. Cry for Michelle Williams.

"But don't cry for Heath."

She had obviously been politely turned down when she offered herself to him - in favour of said victorias secret models.

Bitter old moo!

EDIT: Having seen the report on the cause of death though - I don't think it was intentional abuse. The probe into how he got them all is well needed - all of those drugs were prescribed by doctors, who should have know better than to give him that many, that would have that effect when mixed.

As someone with pharmaceutical knowledge it truly baffles me - why would any doctor prescibe tempazepam to someone already gettin diazepam?!!! Madness!!!

What an evil woman, where is her compassion.
Alot of celebrities are self indulgent self absorbed people..
So what he had everything, we all know that does not always bring happiness.I suggest she gets her head out of her *** and live in the real world.If i was his family i would slap a lawsuit on her.Edit then you dont know much do you, cause they can sue for themselfs, get your head out of the clouds you anit above everyone else. And so,s your'e mum.
nasty woman - did he not fancy her?
I think she's got a point

hooked on prescription drugs, and for what?

It's not as though he lead a stressful life

All these bloody celebrities think they have it so tough, they think they have a right for us to all feel sorry for them when they feel a tad stressed out

They wouldn't know what hard work was if it came up and headbutted them

They only person that's going to suffer is his poor daughter

Tell me about it!!

I think I need a drink
A case of a nasty journalist trying to use a controversial viewpoint in order to sell newspapers.

A lack of empathy for such a tragic story. Whether he killed himself on purpose or whether it was accidental....there is no need for this kind of sick "journalism".
Well, she still could be a little bit compassionate as someone who hadn't really done anything wrong to society (eg, killed anyone) has died in a tragic way because maybe, just maybe, he didn't know that several *insert long words for ingredients to drugs* were lethal when mixed.
What a cruel witch......that was uncalled for as far as I'm concerned.
Yes she sums it up well

He does appear to have been very reckless and rather selfish.

People with responsibilities , such as Children , should really lay off the drugs and booze.

I agree with the columnist, as hard hitting as it comes across. The people left behind are the ones who suffer.
verdict= accidental. I'm sure the last thing his loved ones want to hear is that, if people can't sat anything nice they shouldn't say anything at all. coroners report says that not enough of one prescription drug killed him but by using two lots concurrently caused an overdose, in my mind they should take this up with the prescribing dr(s), they must of been aware of the risk of mixing the two drugs, yet they still gave them to him. Anyway if it was a binman from croydon the news reel would read very differently.... in a tragic accident a local binman died of an overdose of prescription drugs, it is reported that a mixture of two prescriptions running concurrently caused the overdose thought neither one would of proven fatal on it's own, he leaves behind a wife and daughter, in other news... now i wonder if Andrea Peyser would say the same about him?? Xx
Who cares what this nobody thinks?

She seems quite spiteful for no reason. I pity her.
I have no sympathy for anyone who loses their lives as a result of drug abuse.

These are grown adults we are talking about here, old enough to know better. If they cannot treat their own life with respect, then how will they do the same for others?

It may be a bit harsh but drugs are a scourge on society and the less users around the better to fuel the criminal underworld that goes with it.

I feel sorry for the people left behind, but anyone messing with drugs takes the risks themselves, no one forces them.
Well now she has had her 15 minutes of fame...
He was only human and the pressure got too much. No one should judge, Let the poor man rest in peace
i find it totally unnecessary and in bad taste to slag people off when they're dead and they can't answer back. would she have been so brave to slag him publically for his drug use if he was still alive? i doubt it.
Dave, where is your compassion??

This is a private matter between him and his unfortunate family.

What makes you think its any of your business. This isn't the only 'question' you've posed on this site concerning Heath's tragic death,

yes, tragic, anyone who takes their own life is to be pitied, not picked over like you are doing, your no better than a vulture

At a wild guess I would think he was suffering from depression, he wasn't thinking logically, OK so he had the world at his feet.

That's an outside viewpoint, obviously not his. that's what depression does to a person.

You are smug and self righteous now but I just hope you are never in a similar situation.
