NEW YORK —
Actor Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan
residence in what authorities say is a possible drug-related death, the
NYPD said. He was 28.



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



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

I don't mean to sound prejudice, but I've lost respect for this actor since he had played the part in this movie*.
Wasn't he scheduled to appear in that BlockBuster film?







*Note: I'm in no way EVER going to see this movie anyway.

what blockbuster film???

I'm still trying to find the actual title. Its the one about some farmer, who has a hard time keeping his family together. I'll find the title shortly.

l am hearing that heath had pneumonia (probably thought it was just a cold), and that he was having trouble sleeping. He only had 2 hours of sleep, thats y he started taking the sleeping pills. i belive he combined the pills that he too, which made him sleep to death.

is it Ned kelly?

I'm gonna miss him alot, I thought he was a very good actor, very versatile, i saw a very good career ahead of him...Beokeback mountain was a good film, yes there were homosexuals, but so what?, it is basically a normal thing in todays society and nobody is perfect we all sin, all Heath did was play a role, he wasn't actually gay, but even if he was, yea its wrong but I mean he could persecute anyone of us cus we also sins, they all carry the same weighting

Unfortunately, no, its not Ned Kelly.

Has anyone considered suicide as a possibility? Who exacty stated that he took sleeping pills? I find it strange that 3 other sites I had looked at (yesterday) didn't mention anything at all about those sleeping pills.

Actually the site I got the information from stated that he had sleeping pills...but nobody actually mentioned him taking them....hmm interesting

What do you think is his probable cause of death then?
