OlderHEATH LEDGER DEAD AT 28
Heath Ledger has been found dead in his SoHo apartment in New York City.
He was found in his bed by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET, reportedly surrounded by pills.
The 28-year-old actor has a 2-year-old daughter, Matilda Rose, with former fiancee Michelle Williams.
Just this past weekend, Heath was in London filming the Terry Gilliam-directed movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. The last pictures of Heath were taken this past Saturday–he was dressed in a clown costume.
The Australian-born actor was nominated for an Academy Award in 2005 for his role as gay cowboy Ennis in Brokeback Mountain. He also finished filming his role as The Joker in the new Batman film, The Dark Knight.
UPDATE 1: According to The New York Times, “At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play. Officials said pills were found near the body.”
UPDATE 2: Heath was found in his bed, naked and face down. There were prescription bottles left uncovered near the deceased–prescription sleeping medication.

From what I’ve heard, the pills were sleeping pills and it really sounds accidental. I just think its disrespectful with everyone coming up with assumptions that he’s a druggie which is something I wouldn’t believe unless there are straight up facts. Please look into that before more people blame the hollywood drug scene for the death of such a great actor who really had no part in it.
aww i am soo shocked :[
I can’t belive…. This can’t be true…. Poor Matilda and poor Michelle Williams…
RIP

no puedo creeelo un hombre con toda una vida por delante exelente acoto pobre a saber que pasaria por su mente y por su vida para cometer una locura coo esta a mi en lo personal me afecto mucho porque yo lo admirava mucho como actor y cuando lo nominaron al oscar y fue con Michel la madre de su hija se veian tan bellos,pero haci es la vida caras vemos corazones no conocemos.
so sad…i really liked him
calm down you lot, you’re acting like he’s a family member or something. just let him RIP now. if this was a movie, hopefully we could have asked the angel of death to swap heath’s soul in exchange for britneys and all would be great again since her death isn’t a loss to anyone, not even her family. but it isn’t a movie, its real life and now the man is gone let him be and give the family and loved ones some privacy.
so unbelievable.
omg i cant believe hes dead
Sad story. At least he will go out with a legacy movie/role. Joker in The Dark Knight.
