    • Law & Order and other such series have always been known to take news worthy events and twist them around for use on the series. They have done this a number of times over the years. Now they want to take on the death of Heath Ledger earlier this year. This death captivated fans of the actor from around the world. It is said to be partly responsible for the rise to fame that one movie had this summer, The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger is being considered now for a best supportining actor Oscar.

      Page Six was the first to mention of this plot for an upcoming episode of Law & Order. This is just being rumored right now, but the episode would follow a model that is a rising star and  gets all the ladies. He dies from an overdose after leaving a night club with his girlfriend. He is found dead the next morning.

      This is making me wonder. Is it too soon to rip this story line from the headlines. It has nearly been a year, but this death was so much in the public eye, and the effects of this one death are still being felt by those that knew the actor, especially with how well The Dark Knight did. There are some things that might be just too sensitive to touch upon, and this might be one of those cases. At least in my opinion. Yours might differ. What do you think?
