Heath Ledger has died in New York Today. He was found facedown on the floor of his bedroom in Soho by a housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Police said prescription pills were found near his body, and all over his bed, and that they believe it was accidental.
The 28-year-old actor has a two year old daughter, Matilda, with former fiancee Michelle Williams, they separated have been separated since September.
NYPD states thata masseuse arrived at Ledger's apartment and was let in by a housekeeper, and when he didn't answer his bedroom door, the housekeeper and the masseuse went in and found him unconscious. They attempted to revive him, and when they couldn't, they called 911.
When paramedics responded, the actor was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but it was unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.An autopsy is scheduled for tommorrow, but as of this point, all signs point toward overdose.
Ledger is best known for his groundbreaking role as Ennis in "Brokeback Mountain."and he is The Joker in the upcoming Batman film, "The Dark Knight." He has starred in tons of movies, including one of my all time fav's "10 Things I Hate About you".
Heath Ledger was an amazing actor, and will be missed dearly on the big screen. My heartfelt condolences and warmest wishes go out to all of his family and friends.
Also, on a personal note, I know Bloggers such as myself, and news outlets love to talk shit on people, especially when it comes to drug use. I will say, it greatly saddens me, and is disappointing that we lost such a bright star for such a stupid reason, but this site will refrain from any negativeness in this instance. There is a 2 year old girl somewhere with a Daddy she will never see again, and I don't want her to someday come across any bad words about him on my site....
