But now...

 

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

 

According to the New York Times, Ledger was found naked and unconscious with pills strewn all around him in an apartment owned by actress Mary-Kate Olsen.

 

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the apartment. The housekeeper, who went to let Ledger know the masseuse was there, found him unconscious at approximately 3:30 p.m. ET, according to the New York Times. After receiving no response from the actor after shaking him, they called authorities.

yea i just read about it on tmz and on tv, pretty freaking crazy and unexpected for me.

Yeah I'm kinda shocked. I grew fond of him as an actor in Brokeback.

i......don't know if you're serious or not buck

if the Joker dies in Batman it's gonna be kinda awkward...

It was confirmed that the Mary Kate Olsen detail was just a rumor.

That's an interesting thing to be a rumor...anyway, yeah I was serious Ben. I really liked that movie, and previously I was kind of indifferent to Heath Ledger. But I had a favorable opinion of him after seeing the film.
