Posted by Des on January 23, 2008
Academy Award-nominated actor, Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday (Jan. 22) in his New York City apartment.
Ledger, 28, acclaimed for his role as a homosexual cowboy in “Brokeback Mountain,” was found naked the foot of his bed with a bottle of sleeping pills close by. He had a massage appointment at 3:30 and this was the scene when the masseuse and housekeeper walked in the room. They tried to revive Ledger but it was too late.
Those close to Ledger say that suicide is unlikely, and Police agree as there were no signs. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday.
Ledger recently finished shooting his role as the Joker in the 2008’s Batman film, “Dark Knight.”
