[wc] Heath Ledger died today

[Ellen]

I didn't believe it when I first read it, like there was a disconnect
between what my eyes were reading and what my brain was processing. 
It's really sad.  Britney Spears outlived him?  I realize that comment
was totally uncalled for but in light of all the premature obituary
writing I've been reading about that's the first thing I thought of. 
What a loss.
