Actor Heath Ledger Found Dead

[roguem]

Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at a Manhattan apartment Tuesday afternoon in what appeared to be a possible drug-related death; he was 28. The actor was discovered in one of the SoHo apartment's bedrooms at 3:31 p.m., when a masseuse arrived for a scheduled appointment and the residence's housekeeper went to inform the actor of the masseuse's arrival. He was found unconscious and unresponsive; the New York Times at first stated that the apartment in question belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but a publicist for the actress later said that Olsen did not own a unit in the building in which Ledger was found. An initial police report also cited by the New York Times said that foul play was not suspected and that pills had been found near Ledger's body. A native of Australia, Ledger shot to fame as a teen heartthrob in 10 Things I Hate About You before graduating to more adult roles, most notably his Oscar-nominated turn in Brokeback Mountain. Engaged at one time to Brokeback co-star Michelle Williams, the two had a daughter but had split in recent months. Earlier this year, Ledger wrapped filming on the Batman film The Dark Knight, in which he played The Joker; the film is currently set for release this summer. Further details of the actor's death were not available at press time. --IMDb staff

That's just so sad. He was so young, and this makes it sound more and more like a suicide.

From what I've heard it was an accidental overdose of sleeping tablets.

His poor daughter :(

So horrible, I still can't believe it.
From what I've read so far it looks like an accident.

Var det samme for meg. Har aldri vert sånn enorm fangirl, men det var skikkelig sjokk då eg las det. Forventa nesten bare at det skulle være ein spøk.

I feel so sorry for his family.

That news totally blew me away. So unexpected. :( Seeing Dark Knight will be very surreal knowing that was his last role.

I kept waiting for someone to tell me it was a joke.

I've thought the same thing about the new Batman movie. Just to weird.

I kept waiting for someone to say it was a joke.
