Just two weeks after her former partner Heath Ledger suddenly passed away, Michelle Williams is asking for some privacy.

“Please respect our need to grieve privately. My heart is broken,” Williams said in a statement released by her spokeswoman.Heath, 28, was found dead in his New York apartment on January 22. Although sleeping pills and other prescription drugs were found near his body, the exact cause of his death has not yet been established.

Williams, 27, said in her statement that Ledger’s spirit would live on through the couple’s two-year-old daughter.

“I am the mother of the most tender-hearted, high-spirited, beautiful little girl who is the spitting image of her father,” she said.

“All that I can cling to is his presence inside her that reveals itself every day. His family and I watch Matilda as she whispers to trees, hugs animals, and takes steps two at a time, and we know that he is with us still. “She will be brought up with the best memories of him.”

Heath Ledger Passes Away Suddenly

Lisa — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 22:59:04 +0000

We are sad to report that Heath Ledger passed away in his Manhattan apartment this afternoon.

The Brokeback Mountain actor was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime, adding that prescription pills were found near his body.

According to NYPD a masseuse arrived at Ledger’s apartment and was let in by a housekeeper. When Ledger didn’t answer his bedroom door, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened it and found him unconscious. They attempted to wake him; when they couldn’t, they called 911.

We’re told when paramedics responded, the actor was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The 28-year-old actor has a two year old daughter with former fiancee Michelle Williams — they separated in September, 2007.

There is much speculation around the circumstances causing Heath’s untimely death. The autopsy that is scheduled for tomorrow should hopefully provide the actors family with some answers.

This evening Heath’s family issued this statement:

We, Heath’s family, confirm, the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda. He was found peacefully asleep in his New York apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30 p.m. U.S. time.

We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for their well wishes and kind thoughts at this time. Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him.

He was a down to earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and selfless individual who was extremely inspirational to many. Please now respect our families need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately.

Matilda Goes Incognito

Heath Ledger takes daughter Matilda out in NYC incognito.

The adorable toddler dons some funky Gymboree sunglasses for her outing.

Heath looks like a natural doing his daddy thing.

He recently said that he is “Mr.mom”, which I believe. You can tell by how comfortable Matilda looks, that he is a pro!

Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams Have Identical Bedrooms For Daughter

Even though Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger are no longer a couple, they are still committed to keeping continuity in their daughters life.

A source told the New York Post newspaper, the two are creating identical bedrooms for their daughter in their respective New York apartments.

They are having them designed exactly the same so when she wakes up in Heath’s place she won’t feel displaced.

Michelle still lives in the brownstone that the couple shared while together. Reports suggest that the Michelle may be selling that home because it is too big.

Does that mean that she will have to create the same bedroom in her new house as well?? Probably…
