Heath Ledger is found dead in US

Wow, how sad

Heath Ledger is found dead in US

Brokeback Mountain earned Ledger numerous award nominations

Hollywood actor Heath Ledger has been found dead at a downtown Manhattan residence, a New York Police Department spokesman has said.

"He was found unconscious at the apartment and pronounced dead," a police spokeswoman said.

Police are investigating whether the Australian actor, who earned an Oscar nomination for 2005 film Brokeback Mountain, died of a drug overdose.

The 28-year-old was found dead in the SoHo flat at around 1530 (2030 GMT).

US television reported that his body had been found surrounded by pills and police said they did not suspect foul play.

"We are investigating the possibility of an overdose," police spokesman Paul Browne said.

Police said he had been due to have a massage at the flat.

The housekeeper went to tell him the masseuse had arrived and found him dead on Tuesday afternoon.

In September the Perth-born actor reportedly split from his girlfriend Michelle Williams, with whom he has a two-year-old daughter, Matilda.

He plays the Joker in the soon-to-be-released Batman film, The Dark Knight.

He also starred in A Knight's Tale and The Patriot, and played a suicidal son in Monster's Ball.

That's just sad. I liked his movies. And he's real young too, with a baby.
