Not sure why one has to be better than the other. Bobby Fischer was uniquely talented. Heath Ledger was simply talented. Untimely death will always get a flash of attention and particularly when there is signs of talent. I don't think his death was meant to be a competition.
Though, if you were going to intentionally kill yourself and you were an actor you might not want to do it on the day that the Oscar nominations came out..makes it look like you were expecting a nomination.
