F7 didn't exploit Paul Walker's death? There's an entire music video for the film dedicated to Paul Walker. The ending to the film was even re-written specifically to serve as a send-off to Walker.

In what way did TDK exploit Ledger's death?

They paid homage to Walker for being part of the series from the beginning, that's not exploiting his death.

TDK used Heath's death as part of his Posthumous Oscar Campaign. And "It was Heath's last complete film" as part of the advertising.

The advertising actually shifted focus away from the Joker after Heath Ledger died. The Oscar campaign for him didn't begin until after the film had already been released, and proved to be a huge critical and commercial hit.
