| quote: | NEW YORK (CNN) -- Actor Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday of a possible drug overdose in a Lower Manhattan apartment, the New York Police Department said.
The Academy Award nominated actor was 28.
"Pills were found in the vicinity of the bed," police spokesman Paul Browne told CNN.
"This is being looked at as a possible overdose, but that is not confirmed yet."
The pills appeared to be over-the-counter sleeping medication, said police spokeswoman Barbara Chen.
Ledger was unresponsive when he was found by a housekeeper who had gone to wake him for an appointment with a masseuse in the Soho apartment, Browne said.
The apartment is owned by the actress Mary-Kate Olsen, The New York Times reported.
Ledger was declared dead at about 3:30 p.m., Browne said.
In 2005, the actor played Ennis Del Mar in "Brokeback Mountain," about two cowboys who had a secret relationship.
The role earned him the Oscar nomination. |
Utter shock..

I just found out. :(
My god, this is a tragedy. He was turning up to be a really great actor with awesome roles including the one that will now be his last: Joker in The Dark Knight.
I can't believe this. R.I.P. Heath Ledger
:eek: |

| Honestly if they test athletes for drugs. They should check actors/actresses. I know won't do , but its an idea. |

I'm in disbelief also...I would've never imagined something like this would happen to him.
He was so young and had such a promising career ahead of him. Tragic indeed.. :(
I wonder what the hell he was doing at Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment though.. |

they're saying accident or suicide..me thinks suicide. Just because these actors play strong roles doesn't mean they're impervious to depression as well (see as recently as Owen Wilson). Again, just speculation here. |
