Heath Ledger R.I.P.

Heath Ledger,28, has died in NY today at 3:35pm.   Heath was found dead face down in his bedroom of his apartment in Soho by his housekeeper.  There were prescription pills found near his body (they are believed to be sleeping pills).

Apparently Ledger had a massage appointment and when the masseuse arrived at his house, the housekeeper let the masseuse in.  The housekeeper went to tell Ledger about the appointment, but Ledger didn’t open his bedroom door.  The housekeeper found Ledger unconscious and called 911.

The paramedics attempted CPR on Ledger; however, he was already in cardiac arrest.  He was pronouced dead at the scene.

Heath had a two year old daugther, Matilda, with Michelle Williams.  Michelle and Heath met on the set of ‘Brokeback Mountain’.  Michelle and Heath separate in 2007, and Heath was said to be dating Gemma Ward.  Heath can be seen in the upcoming Batman film, “The Dark Knight.”

This is truly a sad day.  The death is rumored to be an accident.  Heath had a history with substance abuse, but he was supposed to have been clean for some time.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, Michelle Williams, and his daughter.  Heath was an amazing actor.  He died too young.  R.I.P. Heath Ledger.
