There are various speculations about the cause of his death. Among them, many people think that Heath Ledger's death should be because he was caught up in the clown's drama in The Dark Knight, and finally fell into a desperate situation. In order to get rid of this terrible state, he finally chose to commit suicide.

In fact, this view was really recognized by many people at that time. During the filming of this film, Heath Ledger often practiced alone in the room. He suffered both physical and mental torture.
