28 year old actor, Heath Ledger was found dead in his Soho home in NYC today by his housekeeper. No word on the cause of his death yet, but, this is pretty shocking. Heath had a two year old daughter, Matilda, with actress Michelle Williams.
Update: The AP reports Heath’s death was the result of a possible drug overdose.

i read that they found him surrounded by pills....
i know suicide is selfish, but when you have children--especially very young ones---it takes the selfishness up to another level....
even if this was an 'accidental' drug overdose, when you have children, you need to put them first and get over your addictions as quickly as possible.....
this is so shocking, so sad...his poor baby girl wont have him around as she grows up, poor michelle too im sure they loved each other...this is soo sad
This is shocking, but he started to look like a druggy, dirty and unkept, I hate this for his daughter and Michelle. I just cant believe it, I wasnt that big of a fan but I did like some of his work.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaan, I'm still in utter shock. He was one of my favorite actors. I mean....wow. I didn't even know he was this depressed. At least he never showed it around the media. So so sad. R.I.P Heath.
I can't believe this. I'm in shock.
He was so young. :/
I was totally shocked but then I wasnt. Ever since him and Michelle broke up he has been looking out of sorts and with him allegedly hooking up with everyone.
If this was an overdose this is soo sad. Another death because of drugs and his young daughter who will hardly have any memories of her father.
He was so young. Another young person died because of drugs (if thats the case)
Rest In Peace Heath.
Wow him and Renfro... SO YOUNG
The pills that were found were allegedly over the counter sleeping pills. Heath told reporters not long ago that he was having trouble sleeping due to the darkness of the Joker and was taking Ambien but it wasnt working cause he was only sleeping about 2 hrs.
God, what a damned shame. I could see by recent pics that he was aging rather quickly and I sort of put it down to his rapid loss of hair and his not really caring how he dressed or groomed which I felt might have been related to his separation.I thought he was a bit depressed... Never thought he was in so much trouble. Poor kid, he was my daughter's age. He had so much talent and it is such a waste.

What was just on the news is that the apartment he was in was owned by mary kate olsen, who wasnt there but in california. Pill were found scattered around his body and its been deemed a suicide, not accidential od or 'mistake' of some sort.
His divorce from michelle was a shock to me when it happened, it seemed to come out of the blue but if hed gotten into drugging and deeply depressed its hard to live with and many people seperate because of it. Just sad really shockingly sad.
I thought his Knights Tale movie was great fun, i love watching it, it always makes me laugh.
RIP Heath
Wow. I am so sad over this. Heath was the one guy growing up that I put all over my walls. No one else. I love Heath, he was such a great actor and I am completly shocked by this. I feel sorry Maltida.
I just heard this and I'm so saddened and shocked!! I loved him in 10 things I hate about you. I could watch that movie again and again....my heart is heavy for his daughter....Rest in peace Heath...you are missed already.
His poor little girl will grow up without her dad and that is just so sad. I saw many pictures of the 2 of them together and it looked like he idolized her.
It is never easy when someone dies, but for someone so young, it just is a shame.

Yeah Heath is pretty cool. He was one of us. Here in Melbourne he was in the march against the war in Iraq. He didn't set himself apart, he just marched in the crowd with the rest of us. He also belonged to Sea Shepherd (the anti whaling people). I feel so sorry for his parents. To tell you the truth I thought his wife was a bit up herself (a bit of a 'star) compared to Heath who was such a down to earth person. You would expect that of Wino or Spears but not such a nice down to earth guy.
Only sleeping two hours a day because of the "darkness" of a movie role? That sounds like some kinda crazy to me, maybe mania, maybe blow? Who knows. It's sad anyway. I hope it was accidental.
This fuckin sucks. I think that it was an accident. He was run down and thought he could take one extra sleeping pill...
Over the counter pills are still drugs and can still harm you if you mix them with other stuff or take them improperly. It could happen (and has happened) to anyone.

Him & Michelle werent divorced because they were never married, get your facts straight.
This really schocked me when I heared it on the news this morning.. He did seem a bit lost lately but still.
He's as young as I am. really sad. May he rest in peace.
Money and success can't buy happiness.
That little girl of his is so sweet, my heart breaks for her, no child deserves to lose their parents so young :*(
