Heath Ledger Found Dead in Apartment

CNN, just about 2 minutes ago, reported in that the young actor was found dead. He was recently starring the the film "The Dark Night" (sequel to "Batman Begins") as The Joker and had starred in the film Brokeback Mountain. He was 28 years old, and he leaves behind a 2-year old daughter.

Recent sources indicate that Mr. Ledger had an appointment with a local massager who was coming to perform his service. Towards 3:30ET, Ledger's maid knocked on his door to check on him. There was no response. She entered the room and found him, unconscious and naked, on the bed. He did not respond to anything that she tried on him. He was pronounced dead by the paramedics at the scene. A recent interview with Mr. Ledger indicates that he was suffering from sleep problems due to his recent role in "The Dark Knight". He was only getting about 2-3 hours a night. Ambien pills were found near his body (or so the news claims). It is unclear whether or not he died from an accidental overdose or an allergic reaction, although suicide has been ruled out.

An autopsy report will be stated later on.
