Just heard it on the 11am news........

Taken off the 'Net

NEW YORK - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence in a possible drug-related death, police said. He was 28.

According to WNBC, Ledger was found with pills strewn all around him.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment believed to be his home. The housekeeper, who went to let Ledger know the masseuse was there, found him unconscious at approximately 3:30 p.m. ET, according to the New York Times. After receiving no response from the actor after shaking him, they called authorities.

Be sure to watch his last movie Batman: The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger plays the joker.

RIP

I feel sorry for his little girl Matilda.

The news reports doesnt say that it was suicide, maybe a stupid accident? Anyway, still pretty sad news.

Oops, should have added "cares" on the end of that.
Edit: How sad. He was in "home and away".

Yeah I just heard it too, and thought the same thing as Maffoo.
Money doesn't buy ya happiness.

I feel sorry for his family.

WTF???

That is really sad...I quite liked him as an actor. He was quite awesome in Ned Kelly and I can't really recall a movie with him where I thought he wasn't pulling his weight as an actor.

Is suicide maybe an option at this point, or has it been confirmed as a drug overdose?

never ceases to amaze me, stars and their problems.
All they need is a hobby to devote their time too instead of worrying about the next plastic surgery or how many prozac's to pop.
Motorbikes, now theres a good one!
