Holy Hannah, Heath Ledger was just found dead in his NYC apartment. (Thanks as usual to Bongy)
Heath Ledger was found dead at 3:26 pm this afternoon,” a police spokesperson said, saying he was found in his residence in the posh district of Soho. “We don’t know the cause of the death.”
The entertainment website TMZ said Heath was discovered by a maid in his bed in his Manhattan apartment, adding that “law enforcement sources … believe it was not a crime.”
The newspaper quoted officials as saying pills were found near the body, but gave no further details.
Wow. Two of my girlfriend’s childhood crushes in about a week’s timespan. That’s a damn shame, I actually liked Heath Ledger. At least he got to finish up his work on The Dark Knight which will probably be his last film release. Unfortunately I don’t think that filming had wrapped on Terry Gilliam’s Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, so it looks like we’ll never see what would’ve happened there. Another “Man Who Killed Don Quixote” for Gilliam.
Since they found him naked with pills, you’d assume overdose or suicide. Such tragedy that talented actors keep dropping off while Steven Seagal is still alive and kicking… slowly and obesely kicking, but kicking nonetheless.
