Heath Ledger was found dead today in a New York City apartment owned by Mary-Kate Olsen according to the New York Times:
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 were found near the body.
TMZ reports Heath Ledger was in full cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived and was announced dead at the scene.
UPDATE: Heath Ledger was reportedly suffering from pneumonia, according to TMZ. The pills were over the counter sleeping pills and accidental overdose is not being ruled out. An autopsy is being performed tomorrow.

I was wondering when this would make it up here… so sad =(

That’s pretty damn sad. I always liked him.
Wow. Very shocking. By all accounts a good guy, and coming into his own as an actor.
Did he drug himself to death? I am getting so tired of hearing about rich and privileged celebrities doing/overdosing/dying from drug use.
Holy shit! My kids loved A Knight’s Tale!

What a shame. R.I.P. We will all appreciate your role in The Dark Knight even more now.
Mix of emotions. Mad that he did this, despite all his success and promise. Sad, of course for the loss of life. Disappointed that we can no longer expect to see him in future films, especially reprising his Joker role.
:’( I loved him.
jesus.
Man, thats pretty sad. I wonder if they’re going to decide to “dedicate” batman to him
This makes me so sad :(
