SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: Speculation about the death of the Australian actor Heath Ledger has resurfaced after video footage emerged of him talking about drug use at a Hollywood party.
Channel Nine last night broadcast excerpts of the video, which was allegedly made two years ago at the Chateau Marmont hotel on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard - the same hotel where the actor John Belushi died.
It was reported that the footage was taken while Ledger's girlfriend, Michelle Williams, and their daughter, Matilda Rose, were upstairs.
Ledger was not shown taking drugs, although others can be seen in grainy footage apparently snorting a substance off a table.
"I'm going to get serious shit from my girlfriend," Ledger says in the video.
Asked by someone why, he replies: "We had a baby three months ago."
He goes on to tell the person his daughter's name and then says: "I shouldn't be here at all." I shouldn't be here: Ledger's drugs dismay >>> By Jonathan Dart
