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.

This is the photo that every editor wants this evening. Tragic, but it is a big news story. There must have been a hundred photographers and media outside of Heath Ledger’s SoHo apartment this afternoon and this is the photograph they were all trying to make.

Can you believe this story. Justin was hanging around the Waverly Inn this week when Heath Ledger arrived and as soon as he saw Justin attempting to take his photo, he totally flipped out and walked away. Now what possible threat can a young art student- Paparazzo cause him. He needs to get a grip on life, turn around and pose for a photograph.
