Heath Ledger Dead
Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday, January 22nd at a downtown Manhattan apartment, naked in bed with sleeping pills nearby, police said. The Australian-born actor was 28. At this time, it is unknown if Ledger had committed suicide.
He had an appointment for a massage at his residence in SoHo, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. A housekeeper, who went to let him know the massage therapist had arrived, found him dead at 3:26 p.m.
A large crowd of paparazzi and gawkers gathered outside the building on an upscale block. Ledger's body was still inside, and several police officers guarded the door.
The medical examiner's office planned an autopsy Wednesday, spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said.
How freakin' sad. And his career was on the verge of really taking off with his portrayal of the Joker.
