That Didn’t Take Very Long

The passing of Heath Ledger only happened a couple months ago, and already his extended family are going on about the money. Two of Heath Ledger’s family members implied in an Australian newspaper today that there may be some less-than-honest fingers in his assets.

Sydney’s Daily Telegraph newspaper reports today that Ledger’s uncles Mike and Haydn have accused Ledger’s father, Kim, of mismanaging their grandfather’s estate to the tune of $2.5 million.

Heath’s father Kim did not respond, but this statement was issued after Heath’s will was discovered.

“Matilda is our absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family,” he said. “They will be taken care of and that’s how Heath would want it to be.”

It’s sad that the passing of a very bright young star has to be punctuated with such ugly family feuding. Below is a picture of Heath and his family from 2006.
