Heath Ledger Dies

NEW YORK - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence, and police said drugs may have been a factor. He was 28. NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment believed to be his home. The housekeeper who went to let him know the masseuse had arrived found him dead at 3:26 p.m.

A large crowd of paparazzi and gawkers began gathering Tuesday evening outside the building on an upscale block in SoHo, where several police officers guarded the door.

The Australian-born actor was nominated for an Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain," where he met Michelle Williams in 2005. The two had lived in Brooklyn and had a daughter, Matilda, until they split up last year.

He most recently appeared in "I'm Not There," in which he played one of the many incarnations of Bob Dylan ???? as did Cate Blanchett, whose performance in that film earned an Oscar nomination Tuesday for best supporting actress.

Ledger was to appear as the Joker this year in "The Dark Night," a sequel to 2005's "Batman Begins." He's had starring roles in "A Knight's Tale" and "The Patriot," and played the suicidal son of Billy Bob Thornton in "Monster's Ball."

Ledger grew up in Perth, and began doing amateur theater at age 10. At 16, he moved to Sydney to pursue an acting career, quickly landing TV movie roles and guest spots on Australian television.

After several independent films and a starring role in the short-lived Fox TV series "Roar," Ledger moved to Los Angeles and costarred in "10 Things I Hate About You," a teen comedy reworking of "The Taming of the Shrew."

Offers for other teen flicks came his way, but Ledger turned them down, preferring to remain idle than sign on for projects he didn't like.

"It wasn't a hard decision for me," Ledger told the Associated Press in 2001. "It was hard for everyone else around me to understand. Agents were like, 'You're crazy,' my parents were like, 'Come on, you have to eat.'"

You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's.
   The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've
      become yourself.

It's hard to wait for something you know might not happen, but it's harder to give up when you know it's everything you wanted.

I heard in the late night news that his death was possibly a suicide but an autopsy is still going to be conducted tomorrow.

He was good in 'Brokeback Mountain' with Jake Gyllenhaal.
Not to mention "10 things I Hate About You" and "The Knights Tale". :(

May he rest in peace.

It was later said that Jack Nicholsan who played Joker in the other Batman movies had also warned Ledger not to take such sleeping pills.
Nicholsan also commented in an MTV interview that the movie maker's did not approach him to play the sequel and he did not know about the sequel as well as he says he can play that role well.

The massage therapist is no where to be found on the records? Strange is it not?
