I just read that the celebrated actor Heath Ledger has passed away. He was found today at 3:30 in his apartment in New York. The 28 year old had a child two years ago with former fiancee Michelle Williams. He is playing the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie, “The Dark Knight”.

This is from TMZ.com:

“The NY Times is reporting a masseuse arrived at his apartment and was let in the door by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they found pills near body.”

Another promising Hollywood star is gone.
