Heath Ledger, who played the Oscar-winning role of Joker in the Dark Knight died very young. The actor died on January 22, 2008 at the age of 28.
But suspicion still encircles his death. It is said that while preparing for the Oscar winning role, he locked himself in a hotel room for months and died due to overdose of painkillers.
The German documentary ‘Heath Ledger: Too Young To Die’ which is yet to release, is expected to show some shocking revelation from a diary that the actor was maintaining while getting prepared for the role of joker.
In an interview with Empire in 2007, the actor said, 'It's a combination of reading all the comic books I could that were relevant to the script and then just closing my eyes and meditating on it. I sat around in a hotel room in London for about a month, locked myself away, formed a little diary and experimented with voices - it was important to try to find a somewhat iconic voice and laugh. I ended up landing more in the realm of a psychopath - someone with very little to no conscience towards his acts. He's just an absolute sociopath, a cold-blooded, mass-murdering clown.'
In the documentary, Heath's father, Keith is seen reading out the pages from his diary.
According to the diary, Heath took inspiration from hyenas, clowns, comic strips and Alex DeLearge from A Clockwork Orange while preparing for the Oscar-winning role.
Ledger ends his diary with 'bye-bye' scribble across a page, that is where the question arises 'Did Joker killed Ledger?'
