Stellar Tickets - Heath Ledger Dies at age 28

Tuesday, January 22, 2008; Posted: 5:28 PM - by BWW News Desk

Academy Award-nominated Hollywood actor Heath Ledger was found dead today at 3:30PM Tuesday January 22 in his Manhattan apartment. He was 28 years old. Ledger was found by his housekeeper this afternoon when he was scheduled for a massage-appointment.

"Pills were found in the vicinity of the bed," police spokesman Paul Browne told CNN, "This is being looked at as a possible overdose, but that is not confirmed yet."

Ledger was the father of one child, Mathilda, whom he raised with actress Michelle Williams, before they split-up last year.

Ledger was nominated for an Oscar in his acclaimed performance as a gay cowboy in Ang Lee's film Brokeback Mountain. He recently completed filming the role of The Joker in the up-coming Batman film sequel entitled The Dark Knight, due for release later this year. His last film appearance was opposite Cate Blanchett in I'm Not There.

Ledger burst into the Hollywood scene playing teen heart-throb in 10 Things I Hate About You. Other screen credits include The Patriot, A Knight's Tale, Monster's Ball, Lords of Dogtown and Casanova.
