Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at a Manhattan apartment
Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at a Manhattan apartment Tuesday afternoon in what appeared to be a possible drug-related death; he was 28. The actor was discovered in one of the SoHo apartment’s bedrooms at 3:31 p.m., when a â‘ masseuse arrived for a scheduled appointment and the residence’s housekeeper went to inform the actor of the masseuse’s arrival. He was found unconscious and unresponsive; the New York Times at first stated that the apartment â‘¡in question belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but a publicist for the actress later said that Olsen did not own a unit in the building in which Ledger was found. An initial police report also cited by the New York Times said that â‘¢foul play was not suspected and that pills had been found near Ledger’s body.
　　A native of Australia, Ledger shot to fame as a teen heartthrob in 10 Things I Hate About You before graduating to more adult roles, most notably his Oscar-nominated turn in Brokeback Mountain. Engaged at one time to Brokeback co-star Michelle Williams, the two had a daughter but had split in recent months. Earlier this year, Ledger â‘£wrapped filming on the Batman film The Dark Knight, in which he played The Joker; the film is currently set for release this summer. Further details of the actor’s death were not available at press time.
