BlackKnight Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 TMZ has learned that Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has died in NY. He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime. The 28-year-old actor has a two year old daughter with former fiancee Michelle Williams. He plays The Joker in the upcoming Batman film, "The Dark Knight." UPDATE- The NY Times is reporting a masseuse arrived at his apartment and was let in the door by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger's bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they found pills near body. We're told when paramedics responded, the actor was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Story developing...Wtf.. is this a joke? EDIT: Not a joke... more links will spring up while I'm at work I bet :/ What the hell...

BlackKnight Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Principal photography for The Dark Knight is completed. However, this could impact sales / marketing and so we may see a change in release dates due to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
