R.I.P. heath Ledger *tears*
Actor Heath Ledger Dead At 28
Sources: Death May Be Drug-Related; Pills Found Scattered In NYC Residence
NEW YORK (CBS) ― Heath Ledger, who was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in the critically-acclaimed movie Brokeback Mountain, has died, sources tell CBS 2.
The Australian-born actor was just 28.
He was pronounced dead at 3:26 p.m. in his downtown Manhattan residence by his housekeeper, who discovered him in cardiac arrest and called 911, an NYPD spokesperson says. He was apparently scheduled to have a massage in his apartment this afternoon.
Sources tell CBS 2's Scott Weinberger the death may be drug-related and that there were pills scattered around the room.
Ledger had recently separated from his wife, actress Michelle Williams. The couple have one daughter, Matilda, who was born in 2005.
Before marrying Williams, Ledger had also dated actress Naomi Watts and Heather Graham.
Most currently, Ledger was featured in the Bob Dylan biography film "I'm Not There."
He is also appearing in the next installment of the "Batman" movie opposite Christian Bale as the infamous "Joker" and was in the midst of filming "The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus."
Of the most well-known 15 films Ledger appeared in: "The Patriot," "A Knight's Tale," and "Monster's Ball." He was also nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in "Brokeback Mountain."
Ledger grew up in Perth, and began doing amateur theater at age 10. At 16, he moved to Sydney to pursue an acting career, quickly landing TV movie roles and guest spots on Australian television.
After several independent films and a starring role in the short-lived Fox TV series "Roar," Ledger moved to Los Angeles and costarred in "10 Things I Hate About You," a teen comedy reworking of "The Taming of the Shrew."
Offers for other teen flicks came his way, but Ledger turned them down, preferring to remain idle than sign on for projects he didn't like.
"It wasn't a hard decision for me," Ledger told the Associated Press in 2001. "It was hard for everyone else around me to understand. Agents were like, ..You're crazy,' my parents were like, ..Come on, you have to eat."'
He would have turned 29 on April 4.

I got home, and messaged my friend, and the first thing he said to me was, "Heath Ledger Is Dead." And I was like, O.O WHU?

Here laid to rest... He was most definitely Pretty. God I love "A knights tale" and "10 things I hate about you". Most people are thinking it's suicide, I'm thinking it's an accident. But the autopsy yesterday was inconclusive so they're running more tests. Poor Heath =/ crying
...is our love ever longed

It was? I missed the news about it.
I honestly don't think he could ever kill himself. He seemed so happy. ;-; He was finally getting into good movies, and had a bunch of good roles.
It's a loss for all of us. sad

It's a loss for all of us. sad He was actually depressed from the separation of his girlfriend/fiancee (whichever, I think it's both) and he was just starting to get over that....I feel so bad for his little kid too u.u I found out while I was at work, we all had a big group hug

There were interviews where he was talking about his role as The Joker on 'The Dark Knight' and he was so into the role it was scaring him to the point he couldn't even sleep for 2 hours a night, even while he took Ambiem CR(sp?) and other pills.
