We're still pretty upset over yesterday's tragic event (so much so, only the above picture could cheer us up even the slightest), but the news carries on. These are the latest details to surface about Heath Ledger's death:

• The medical examiner released the autopsy report today, saying the results are inconclusive and an official cause of death will not be determined for another 10 to 14 days. TMZ reports he was suffering from pneumonia prior to his death.

• Ledger's rep tells us there are no plans for a memorial service, in either the U.S. or Austrailia. Considering the Westboro Baptist Church was planning to picket the funeral because of Brokeback Mountain, maybe this is for the best. However, people have still found a way to show their support by setting up a memorial outside his apartment building.

• Michelle Williams' father, Larry, really nailed it when he said: "I think Tennyson got it right in the poem when he described someone as having died at a young age but burning the candles at both ends, and oh what a beautiful flame he made, that was Heath, what a beautiful flame he made and a great talent."

We'll let you know as more news breaks.
