While I was going through my feeds I was shocked to read that Heath Ledger was found death. I had to do a double check to make sure what I was reading was real. I still can’t believe it. He was one of my favorite actors. I am sure you all know the Aussie actor who played in movies like Broke Back Mountain, The Patriot, Casanova, 10 Things I hate about you, and many more.

TMZ has learned that 2006 Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has died in NY.

He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime, adding that prescription pills were found near his body.

According to NYPD a masseuse arrived at Ledger’s apartment and was let in by a housekeeper. When Ledger didn’t answer his bedroom door, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened it and found him unconscious. They attempted to wake him; when they couldn’t, they called 911.

We’re told when paramedics responded, the actor was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

He was found in his apartment and apparently it was an accidental overdose on sleeping pills. How do you do that? Accidentally overdosing on sleeping pills. Surely you must know that you are taking more than is prescribed? Anyway, it is a real sad thing that it happened. He was only 28 years old and was father to a little girl.
