I can't believe it! He was really young, and had a lot of talent as an actor... with a lot to offer. So sad. RIP. :sad:
The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.
At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play. Officials said pills fear found near the body.
High amounts of heroin were found in his bloodstream.

He won't get to see his little girl grow up and make him proud. I wish Celebrities would see the damage they do to their families when they take drugs because there are many celebs currently who are so close to being announced as dead in a similar fashion.
:sad: Thoughts with his family.
That's shocking news.Only 28!
RIP

I saw this and I cried, Australian actor Heath Ledger died at 3.31pm in a New York City apartment (about 15-20 miles from my house, kind of creepy) after overdosing on pills, it was a possible suicide.

RIP. He was so young and promising.
This is what happens to young people that get rich too quick. Drugs kill. :(
My thoughts are with his family and young daughter.
Shocking, what a waste of a life. I just hope other celebrities are more careful and don't take drugs. Imagine seeing a thread titled "Britney found dead" or "Amy Winehouse dies from overdose". The way things are going it may well happen.
R.I.P. :sad:

Where did you get that report from? No reputable news stories are saying anything about heroin. He was apparently suffering from pneumonia, and a bottle of prescription pills were found near him. The autopsy is being done today, so there is no way that anyone can know what was in his bloodstream yet.
I hate these trashy reports that just make stuff up.
His parents only found out via the news.

Oh how sad, what a real tragedy, 28 years old and his whole life in front of him.
I hate it when reporters sensationalise things, I have not read about heroin either, just prescription medication close by.

I do believe the story Ross posted was one of the breaking news reports on Sky News, a few hours after his death so it won't be on the Sky News site anymore.
Call me heartless but I really couldn't care less. People die every day and some are much younger than 28. No, they aren't well known but noone is ever shocked about those so I fail to be shocked about some actor.
Nevertheless, R.I.P Heath.

Well the knowledge a one year old girl won't grow up with her doting father makes me sad regardless of whether he's famous, not famous, suicide, murder or drugs OD etc.
:sad: His death isn't less meaningless just because he's famous and other people aren't. If I heard the same about someone who wasn't famous I'd be sad.

I really can't believe it this is such a shock. I remember him in films like 10 things I hate about you one of my favourtie films actually with him in it. It really is a shame. I heard on the radio that his family said he wouldn't comit suicide but then again he might have been suffering from depression and no-body knew! It's a shame he was a very talented actor.
R.I.P Heath x :sad:
One of the few great actors of his generation. Rest in peace.

I just foun this!
Shekhar Kapur, the film director, said Ledger had made him "promise" the previous evening to call him in the morning so they could meet.
Watch: Fans and Hollywood stars pay their respects
But by the time Kapur made the call, the 28-year-old actor's body had been found in his loft apartment in Manhattan.
"I last spoke to him the night before he died," said Kapur, who directed the Australian actor in The Four Feathers.
"I had just arrived in New York [from London]. He said he could not see me that night but really wanted to meet me the next day.
"He made me promise that I would call him in the morning and wake him up. I tried. Little did I know that his soul had already left his body."

Yes, they make me sick. Fred Phelps and his crew - how they can call themselves Christians is beyond me. They display an astonishing lack of compassion or tolerance.

He was 35 not 28. He was born in 1979
RIP Heath, you will be sadly missed
He was 35 not 28. He was born in 1979
And that's why he died in 2008.
