Heath Ledger is found dead in US
Hollywood actor Heath Ledger has been found dead at a downtown Manhattan residence, a New York Police Department spokesman has said.
"He was found unconscious at the apartment and pronounced dead," a police spokeswoman said.
Police are investigating whether the Australian actor, who earned an Oscar nomination for 2005 film Brokeback Mountain, died of a drug overdose.
The 28-year-old was found dead in the SoHo flat at around 1530 (2030 GMT).
Police said they did not suspect foul play and that his body had been discovered surrounded by pills.
'Pills'
"We are investigating the possibility of an overdose," police spokesman Paul Browne said. "There were pills within the vicinity of the bed."
Police said he had been due to have a massage at the flat.
The housekeeper went to tell him the masseuse had arrived and found him dead on Tuesday afternoon.
In September the Perth-born actor reportedly split from his girlfriend Michelle Williams, with whom he has a two-year-old daughter, Matilda.
She played his wife in Brokeback Mountain.
He won an Oscar nomination for his role as a gay cowboy in the film but the award went to Philip Seymour Hoffman for his role as Truman Capote.
Ledger is currently starring in I'm Not There, as one of several actors in a role representing singer Bob Dylan.
The tragic actor plays the Joker in the yet-to-be-released Batman film, The Dark Knight.
He also starred in A Knight's Tale and The Patriot, and played a suicidal son in Monster's Ball. | |

| The "pills" were subscription pills from the doctors, so he didn't take any illegal drugs. It's just an unlikely side effect. | |

| Hard to really get your head around these things if you haven't experienced something similar yourself IMO. | |

| Strange one, maybe accidental and not suicide, nothing to say he knew he would die if he took the tablets together. Mixing Valium with anti-depressants is fucking deadly though. | |

| Admittedly know very little about the above prescription drugs but have just had a quick browse through 'em on Wikipedia. And that part about them being fuckin' deadly together sounds very believable!
Didn't Noel Gallagher write 'Gas Panic' about when he were coming off Valium? Might give that a listen, actually. Very underrated song and tune if you ask me.
"What tongueless ghost of sin crept through my curtain. Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night. I think you don't got a name, but i can't be certain. And in me he starts to confide.
'Cos my family don't seem so familiar. And my enemies all know my name. And if you hear me tap on your window. Better get on your kness and pray, panic is on the way...
My pulse pumps out a beat to the ghost-dancer. My eyes are dead and my throat's like a black hole. And if there's a god would he give another chancer, an hour to sing for his soul..."
Weird as fuck in every possible sense. The eerie "tune" goes hand-in-hand with the lyrics IMO. | |

Yeah you would have thought so, I think in America its very easy to get hold of prescription drugs, maybe he didn't have a clue, guess we will never know. I only know because I looked into it, didn't want to go mixing stuff and dying lol. | |

I had never heard of him lol, then I found out he was in Brokeback Mountain so I assumed he was a bummer, then to find out he wasn't after reading the paper. Apparently he was in very good spirits the night he died, which I suppose will lead people to believe it was an accident, I think its a case of believing what we want to believe. | |
