Heath Ledger Found Dead in NYC Apartment

NEW YORK - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence in a possible drug-related death, police said. He was 28.

According to WNBC, Ledger was found with pills strewn all around him.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment believed to be his home. The housekeeper who went to let Ledger know the masseuse was there found him dead at 3:26 p.m. ET.

The Australian-born actor has a two-year-old daughter with former fiancee Michelle Williams. Ledger was set to play the Joker in the upcoming Batman film "The Dark Knight." He received an Academy Award nomination for his work in "Brokeback Mountain."

If I were buying a laser gun I'd definitely take the XF-3800 before I took the "Pew Pew Pew Fun Gun."

Do you think that the outpouring negative comments about him playing the Joker has anything to do with this?

Ummmm, NO. It's a terrific theory there, Columbo. But first check and see what Professor Plum was doing last night and if the candlestick is missing.

Well, it was just a quck theory after hearing the news, and learning it was drug related

...it was just a quck theory...

Yes, I think if you go to any clinic in America you'll find internet chatter from comic book fanboys is at the very top of the list for the underlying reasons for hard drug addiction. Did you know John Belushi overdosed shortly after being mentioned in the running for The Green Lantern? It's true.

A seldom recited by very important thirteenth step is "Rottentomatoes and Ain'tItCoolNews are not my reality, I belong to a higher power (the IMDb)."






Is this a Freudian typo where you meant to say "quick" but your subconscious tried to turn it into "quack"?
