Heath Ledger found Dead!

TMZ is reporting that Heath Ledger was found dead at 3:35pm today, just over an hour ago in his New York apartment by his house keeper. He was just 28 years old and is survived by his daughter Matilda Rose. As of yet police don't think his death is as a result of a crime.

MSNBC is reporting that he was found surrounded by pills.

Wikipedia says that heroine was found in his system (I highly doubt they've been able to to a tox screen yet so take that info with a grain of salt).

Heath is famous for his role in Brokeback Mountain and was set to play the joker in the upcoming Batman film Dark Knight.

Condolences to his loved ones.
