LEDGER MEMORIAL EXPECTED
A public memorial service for Hollywood star Heath Ledger could be held in Los Angeles in the next week, according to reports.
The 28-year-old's body was discovered at his luxury apartment in New York on Tuesday. An initial autopsy proved inconclusive but police were investigating reports the Brokeback Mountain star could have died of a drug overdose.
Australian foreign minister Stephen Smith told reporters at the United Nations he believed a private memorial service had already taken place and that a public one was expected in the coming days in Los Angeles.
The New York Daily News newspaper reported Ledger's body had been transferred to Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary in Los Angeles, a celebrity mortuary which has interred stars including Marilyn Monroe, Dean Martin and Walter Matthau.
Meanwhile Ledger's father, Kim, has continued paying tribute to his son in newspaper quotes.
"Heatho, Beef...my beautiful boy, so loving, so talented, so independent," Mr Ledger wrote.
"So no more chess games mate... this is it, couldn't beat you anyway."

i may not have known him personally
but when you are a fan or you appreciate his role in the movie industry
when ever he appeared in any wake(Issues)it almost seems like you have known him
for years
and this is how i felt about this young man
but let us pray his soul rests peacefully
and my condolences with his family as this is a very bad time for them
but remember not the memory of his death
but let us celebrate his life
the man he was, the father he was, the husband he was, the friend, colleague, neighbour,
brother, cousin, and just another human being with a heart so big that obstacles
couldnt hold him back from being the individual he was
this man never let fame get to his head or maybe he was good at hiding it but what
ever the circumstances of his death
let us pray that where ever he is God will shelter him and give him warmth where
there is coldness and confusion.
rest in peace mate Your memory will never be forgotten. :):):)
