Uncle says Heath Ledger may have more than one child

The following is from Even in Death, Rumors Plague Ledger, news.aol.com, March 31, 2008:

In the old days, the death of a celebrity meant the death of gossip-mongering around them. It was a level of respect afforded to the fallen star, their family and fans as a whole. But that was before Princess Diana, before the tabloid explosion and before the Internet.

Now, it appears, nobody — dead or alive — is too taboo for a headline, as Heath Ledger’s uncle claims the actor may have fathered a child when he was 17.***

The “love child” report quotes Ledger’s uncle, who claims that “there is a very real possibility that Heath” fathered a child when he was 17 and dating a 25 year old. The report contends that if it’s proven to be Ledger’s child, it could cause an estate battle for his ex-fiance Michelle Williams, with whom Ledger had their daughter Matilda.***
