NY Times: Heath Ledger Found Dead in Soho Apartment
This is so sad.
The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.
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.
Ledger's relationship with Michelle Williams ended in August 2007. Their daughter, Matilda Rose, was born in October 2005.
Ledger was working on the film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus at the time of his death. He has completed work on the new Batman movie The Dark Knight, in which he played The Joker.
