It's on msnbc.com and cnn.com

Shocking to me. Wow.

With Brokeback and the upcoming Dark Knight film he was going to blow up.

 

[Pariah]

NEW YORK - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence in a possible drug-related death, police said. He was 28.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment believed to be his home. The housekeeper who went to let Ledger know the masseuse was there found him dead at 3:26 p.m.

The Australian-born actor was an Oscar nominee for his role in "Brokeback Mountain" and has numerous other screen credits.

[Linderbee]

I'm so sad right now.

Yes, I'm pretty sure Dark Knight is done.

His best role was in Lords of Dogtown. He just joined Club Stupid.

MSN states in their Headline that he was in Mary-Kate Olsen's Apt?????

Oh well another talented Hollywood idiot gone.

Oh well another talented Hollywood idiot gone.

Yep the Olsen tie-in makes it all the more bizarre.

 

[abomb]

Hmm, not sure about the Olsen thing;

When he was found in a bedroom this afternoon and pills were strewn across his bedroom, his housekeeper told police. It was unclear if it was an intentional or accidental death.

The housekeeper let in a massaeuse who tried to wake Ledger, and found him unresponsive at 3:20 p.m. The massaeuse then noticed sleeping pills strewn around his room and called paramedics at 3:26 p.m.

edit: other reports are calling it Olsen's pad
