Naomi Watts still in pain after Ledger’s death

The accidental death of the beloved actor Heath Ledger is still making pain in the hearts that cared about him.

Toxicology results later revealed he was killed by an accidental overdose of prescribed medication.

Naomi Watts was among a host of Australian entertainers who joined this year's 16 Tropfest finalists on the red carpet at Sydney's Domain. In its 16th year, Tropfest is promoted as the world's largest short film festival, with finalists selected from a field of 600 entries from around the globe.

The actress cried when a tribute was paid to late actor Heath Ledger.

Watts was in tears when organisers at the Tropfest event in Sydney showed a video montage of Ledger, contactmusic.com reports. Watts and Ledger had dated for two years after they met on the set of the movie "Ned Kelly" in 2002.
