Actor Heath Ledger Is Found Dead

By Sewell Chan
The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.
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 fear found near the body.
Mr. Ledger, a native of Perth, Australia, won acclaim for his role as a co-star in “Brokeback Mountain”, a 2005 film. The film, based on a short story by Annie Proulx about two cowboys who fall in love, won critical acclaim. Reviewing the film in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden wrote, “Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”
Mr. Ledger met the actress Michelle Williams while filming ‘’Brokeback Mountain.” The two actors fell into a very public romance. They had a daughter, Matilda Rose, who was born on Oct. 28, 2005. They moved to Brooklyn, but then separated last year.
Calls by The New York Times to Mara Buxbaum, a publicist for Mr. Ledger, and Steve Alexander, the actor’s agent, were not immediately returned this afternoon.

It's fucked up...I've read they found a lot of pills near his body.

I'm definitely gonna have to see The Dark Knight in honor of the dude. He was pretty funny in 10 Things I Hate About You.

Yeah that really is sad...I wasn't a huge fan of him, but I saw a Knight's Tale and a few other movies and they were entertaining. RIP.

If I ever die of pills, I'm going to make sure to spread them around before I pass out, to make it look dramatic.

This is fucked up, man.like really really messed up. No homo, but he was a great actor in Brokeback Mountain. I'm a big Batman fan, so I was looking forward to his rendition of the Joker. The movie is in post-production, I'm pretty sure, so they already have filmed everything that he needs to be in.

R.I.P.

The news is saying the pills were over-the-counter sleeping pills.
