    I posted this over in Entertainment at exactly the same time. I'm so upset! This just breaks my heart. He seemed like one of the sane actors. I feel horrible for his little girl.

    oh my god...that is...words cant describe the HUGE loss Hollywood, his friends and family are going through. He is one of the very few actors who I actually respected playing a gay character and made the character beautiful and likable. He was truley a talented and VERY kind person. My heart goes out to everyone he ever touched

    I just saw this on CNN, and was heading over to see if it was on EC yet... (your quick)

    This is horrible, I hope it was not a drug overdose like they are reporting, but no matter what caused it, I feel bad for his friends and family.

    I'm remembering all the media exposure to Brokeback Mountain and the apperances on Oprah and Ellen. He always seemed so kind and genuine.

    Brokeback Mountain Star Found Dead!!!!!

    An admin on another gay site just sent me this, and I was like =O!!!!!!

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

    The Australian-born actor was an Oscar nominee for his role in "Brokeback Mountain" and has numerous other screen credits.

    Dead at 28: Australian actor Heath Ledger


    Police spokesman Paul Browne has confirmed Perth-born Ledger, 28, was found dead by a housekeeper at his apartment in the trendy SoHo neighbourhood.

    "We are investigating the possibility of an overdose," Mr Browne said.

    According to Mr Browne, the housekeeper found Ledger at 3:26pm (7:26am AEDT) and tried to wake him for his appointment to have a massage.

    As far as Mr Browne knows, only Ledger and the housekeeper were in the apartment.

    Lieutenant John Grimpal from the New York Police Department says drugs were found at the scene, but investigators are yet to determine how he died.

    "There was some type of drugs found," he said.

    "Unknown what type right now.

    "The medical examiner will determine if that ... caused his death or if something else caused his death."

    Ledger was nominated for a best actor Oscar for his role as a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain. He did not win. The award went to Philip Seymour Hoffman for his role as Truman Capote.

    The film's director, Ang Lee, had hailed Ledger's performance as a "miracle" of acting, reminiscent of a young Marlon Brando.

    Margaret Pomeranz from ABC TV's At The Movies says she is devastated by the news.

    "I am so upset ... he's such a talented boy and really I think a beautiful soul," she said.

    "I think to choose the roles he's chosen showed just such intelligence."

    The handsome star and his long-time companion, actress Michelle Williams, separated last year.

    Williams is mother of the actor's young daughter, Matilda.

    Ledger's other film credits included A Knight's Tale, The Patriot and Monster's Ball.

    He was one of several actors playing a role representing Bob Dylan I'm Not There.

    He will appear as The Joker in the next Batman film The Dark Knight. The film is currently in post-production.
