Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon, in his New York city apartment. The New York Times reports:
"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 and said
they found pills near body."
Heath Ledger leaves behind daughter Matilda Rose, who he fathered with Michelle Williams. The two split sometime in Fall 2007 and Ledger was recently rumoured to have been dating Gemma Ward.
Details as we get them. How very sad.
