Heath Ledger mourned in second L.A. service

Heath LedgerTragic Heath Ledger was mourned by friends and celebrity colleagues – including Tom Cruise, Sienna Miller, Ellen DeGeneres and director Todd Haynes at a second memorial service in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The gathering, which took place on the Sony lot in LA, reportedly included industry luminaries and those connected to CAA (the agency that represented Ledger), including Cruise. It comes a week after relatives and close friends – including ex-girlfriend Naomi Watts – paid tribute to the 28-year-old 'Brokeback Mountain' actor at a smaller service at an L.A. cemetery.

Saturday's service began around noon on the lot, which is closed to the public. Attendees included Miller, Ledger's Casanova costar, and speakers included Haynes, who directed him in last year's Bob Dylan film I'm Not There.

Heath, 28, died in his New York loft apartment last week. He was found dead in bed with prescription pills around him.

Toxicology results, expected some time last week, are hoped to give an insight as to what could have caused the star's totally unexpected death.
