Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment in Manhattan today by his housekeeper and masseuse. The housekeeper knocked on the door, “when no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed. They shook him, but he did not respond.” (NY Times)

There were pills found near his body. This is so sad, he was one of my favorites. R.I.P.

This is really sad and came as a shock. He had talent and was coming out with a huge blockbuster movie soon, its such a shame. Plus hes leaving a 2-year-old daughter behind, thats so sad.

The verdict so far is that his death was accidental and that he did not commit suicide. He apparently had pneumonia when he died.

the story keeps changing…and that’s even checking the “legitimate” news sources.

All I can say is it’s just so sad. I didn’t expect him to join the long list of actors who died far too young.

River Phoenix…Glenn Quinn…Edie Sedgwick…Brad Renfro…Christopher Pettiet…there are dozens of them, all beautiful, talented, and gone far too soon.

May he rest in peace.

This is so sad – he was such a wonderful actor. How tragically ironic that his last role may have indirectly killed him (he had been taking sleeping pills because his roles had messed with his mind). How sad.

RIP Heath
