I was just informed that Heath Ledger has been found dead in his NYC apartment today by his housekeeper and visiting masseuse -- the news has been published in the New York Times but no news yet on the cause of death.
This is very shocking news and I feel for his young daughter and his family's loss.

I just heard about this on the news and came to look. Apparently they are saying there were pills beside him.
I'm so totally shocked by this. I always enjoyed his films and even way way back when I use to watch Roar on tv.

I can't believe it. I really admired his work as an actor. I'm really shocked by this as well.

My heart goes out out his family. I had no idea he was only 28! he was so versatile, his roles were so mature.

It's going to be so hard on his little girl - at two she will miss him terribly, but is not really old enough to understand why he's gone. I feel for all his family.

It is very sad. He seemed like a lovely person.

He will have a movie released this year which will be difficult I'm sure for his family and friends to watch -- he plays the joker in a follow up to batman returns -- such a dark character to end his career, in interviews he expressed how much he struggled separating himself from the role and was having difficulty sleeping and taking sleeping pills, I wonder if it had anything to do with his death -- so sad and shocking that he died so young.

There are also reports that he may have had pneumonia too - the combination of that and sleeping pills could possibly be a cause. It's unconfirmed though, at this stage. The autopsy is being performed Wednesday.

Wow that is really a shame. It would be a great shame if his role in a movie got him very upset - and he was just trying to take sleeping pills to deal with it and had an accidental overdose. It's scary how those things can happen.
