Heath Ledger Dead

[mac_82]

TMZ has learned that 2006 Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has died in NY.

He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime, adding pills were found near his body.

The 28-year-old actor has a two year old daughter with former fiancee Michelle Williams -- they separated in September, 2007. He plays the Joker in the upcoming Batman film, "The Dark Knight."

The NY Times is reporting a masseuse arrived at his apartment and was let in the door 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 door and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They attempted to wake him, and when they couldn't they called 911.

We're told when paramedics responded, the actor was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

That's the nail in the coffin for me. No pun intended. I really don't trust some news sites but bbc has never let me down.

[kerry]

Hahahaha fuck I feel bad for laughing at this but from the bbc site.

It is not yet clear how the 28-year-old Australian actor, who earned an Oscar nomination as a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain, died.

I passed this over at first cause I thought it was fake, then saw it posted elsewhere and came back here. Jesus, that's crazy.

I wonder if they will have anything referring to it at the end of Dark knight when its released(RIP ledger, etc)? or did they even finish filming?
