Actor Heath Ledger Is Found Dead
By Sewell Chan
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 were 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.
In an interview in London for an article published in November, Mr. Ledger said told The New York Times, ‘’I feel like I’m wasting time if I repeat myself.” He said in the interview that he was not proud of his latest role, in Todd Haynes’s “I’m Not There,” in which Mr. Ledger was one of a half-dozen actors depicting the musician Bob Dylan. ‘’I feel the same way about everything I do. The day I say, ‘It’s good’ is the day I should start doing something else,” said in the interview.
Calls by The Times to Mara Buxbaum, a publicist for Mr. Ledger, and Steve Alexander, the actor’s agent, were not immediately returned this afternoon.
Thomas J. Lueck contributed reporting.

What the hell.
I'm ... stunned. I mean, seriously, he was only 28 years old!
I don't even know what to say. |

Damnit! This is very upsetting... He showed amazing promise.. I don't mean any disrespect to him or his family, but I'm wondering how much this will impact TDK.

I'm wondering that too.
It will be kind of weird...watching his post-mortem. That's really terrible though, I actually liked him, and I'm sure his family is in pain. What is the daughter, like, 2 1/2? |

Apparently they finished filming it, no doubt they will dedicate it to him. His farewell performance. RIP Heath.

As one of the most insane villains ever known?
If this is a suicide, people may blame his role as Joker. |

Well, considering he had just gotten divorced like a year ago, was in the tabloids, and was found dead in Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment, I dunno if the role did it to him so much as his quest for companionship.

They say that was not the case...this seems to be all very muddled. o.o I just don't know which way the media is going to run with this. |
