Heath Ledger found dead at 28
This is truly a sad day, there is not much to report here aside from the obvious that a promising young actor has lost his life today.
Heath Ledger, the Australian-born actor whose breakthrough role as a gay cowboy in the 2005 movie “Brokeback Mountain” earned him a nomination for an Academy Award and comparisons to the likes of Marlon Brando, was found dead Tuesday in an apartment in Manhattan with sleeping pills near his body, the police said.
