I'm not sure where the connection is exactly, but it's too interesting a matter to pass on.
Oh, some people refer to Heath as "Keith" so I thought I'd play along.
It seems that in playing his last movie roll, the uncompleted The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Heath Ledger was to hang himself, as these photos from Just Jared show, and was rescued. I know know if the preparation and execution of that role had anything to do with what happened to him, but it's a fair question to ask, indeed. There are more photos , and this one was the "tamest" of them all. Under the circumstances, I didn't want to post the others.
On the matter of his character, I don't know much, but Wikipedia reports...In the contemporary period, 1,000-year-old Doctor Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) leads a traveling theater troupe and offers audience members a chance to go beyond reality through a magical mirror in his possession.[1] Parnassus had been able to guide the imagination of others through a deal with the Devil (Tom Waits), who now comes to collect on the arrangement,[2] targeting the doctor's daughter (Lily Cole). The troupe, who is joined by a mysterious outsider (Heath Ledger), embark through parallel worlds to rescue the girl.[3]
More on all of this, soon -- now there are reports of drug use.
