Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at 28 in what is believed to be his Manhattan apartment today 3:26pm today. Heath Ledger was scheduled for a massage, however when the housekeeper came to announce the massuese had arrived, she found him lying on the floor dead.![]()
Police believe that he died of drug related causes, citing pills found near Heath’s body.
The Academy Award nominated Aussie leaves behind a two year old daughter with former fiance Michelle Williams. He is known for his Oscar nominated performance in “Brokeback Mountain“, and was slated for the more eccentric character of The Joker in the upcoming Batman film.
His lesser known works include the high school sweetheart flick “10 things I hate about you” and the loving and playful “Casanova“. It’s a tragedy to lose such a young actor.

I can’t believe he died, he was the best actor and seemed to be the most respectable and responsible actor, being that he never once was in trouble like Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton. I am praying for his family.
