    Default Heath Ledger found dead

    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.




    Damn.. had a lot of respect for this guy.. one of my fav actors..

    Wow, that's sad. I'm not familiar with too much of his work, but I'm sure I've seen some of his movies. He was only 28 too. RIP

    Most notably, he was prob known for his Brokeback Mountain role opposite Gyllenhal..

    He's the new Joker in the Batman movie coming out this year.. He was in the Bob Dylan movie "I'm Not There".. and a bunch of other stuff.. "10 Things I Hate About You".. Mel Gibsons son in The Patriot etc.. you'd know him if you saw a pic of him i'm sure.

    There are plenty of celebrities I dont like. But I always liked Heath Ledger because you could tell he wasn't all up in his fame/money and took his work very seriously. Maybe at the end of the day he was too introspective and became depressed or suffered from addiction.


    It is sad he was only 28 and seem to have a lot to give the world. He seemed like one of the "good guys" in Hollywood.


    It goes to show how someone can have seemingly everything in the world yet they still feel like their cup is not full. May he RIP.
