Heath Ledger Dies
News from MSNBC:
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.
The Australian-born actor has a two-year-old daughter, Matilda Rose, with former fiancee Michelle Williams. Ledger was set to play the Joker in the upcoming Batman film "The Dark Knight." He received an Academy Award nomination for his work in "Brokeback Mountain."
Just 28, once engaged to beautiful Michelle Williams (they had a child), anticipated by comic-geeks worldwide for his portrayal as the Joker in the next Batman installment, he's one of a good young actor, too bad that it would seems he can't shake-off his drug addiction.

I almost screamed when I read this news on your blog (well, maybe I did scream a little).
Hah. Drugs. Still becomes the 'populer' thing around celebritites, eh? :(
i know! And it may sound selfish, but i just glad they had finished The Dark Knight. It would certainly goes as one of the most remembered postmortem film in the history. I could imagine the end-credit title, In Memoriam: Heath Ledger (1979 - 2008).
