oh my god! this is crazy - heath ledger was found dead today at age 28 in his NYC soho apartment - i don't know what to say - how tragic! the story is still developing...oh man - this is simply awful and quite unexpected! my heart goes out to his family and little girl matilda rose (he split from baby mama michelle williams back in sept '07 after being together for three years) i don't want to jump to conclusions but it sounds like it was a drug related death - such a shame - he was so damn good looking and very talented (he received a best actor academy award nomination for brokeback mountain back in 2006) oh my word - i'm still in complete shock - how sad! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo :(
(UPDATE: statements on the death of heath ledger)

The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.

At 3:31 pm, a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home 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 did not suspect foul play. Officials said pills fear found near the body. READ MORE...

I am in total shock over this horrible death. Heath Ledger was a great actor and father and wil be dearly missed! I can only pray for his family and friends in this time of grief. May God bless his family and as well as all the people who dearly misses him! I hope and pray that his soul goes to God and that we all learn something from this. Don't Do Drugs!!! Take care and remember that God is still watching us!

Now all we have is memories. He made his last movie as the Joker in Batman...but I have to say my fav movie of his will always be Lords Of Dogtown when he plays as Zephyr. RIP Leger-we will miss you. aj

They were sleeping pills, and he'd ordered a massage. Doesn't sound right to me. Why wait for a massage, take sleeping pills and throw them around the room? Strange.....

I went through middle school and high school thinking Heath Ledger was the cutiest thing. I never would have thought that a guy that looked like that and was so talented would take his own life. Most people before they kill themselves either leave a note or saying something to someone. Even so, you'd never have thought him to be the type that would do drugs. It just goes to show, you never know what goes on behind close doors.

Oh My God!!!I can not believe that he is gone.I loved him. Ive liked him ever since I seen him in 10 I hate About You. He will be greatly missed.My prayers go out to his family. We love Heath

I feel so bad that Heaths lil girl has to suffer over another horrible Hollywood tragedy. He was a truly gifted actor but not all the fame in the world can save you from life.

There were sleeping pills found in his bed. Perhaps, an accident. That happens alot with those darned sleeping pills. May he rest in peace.

"...if anybody is going to end up dead - it's going to be amy .." Guess you were wrong MK. Poor Heath, so talented I'm still shocked... I was so looking forward to his portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight...now I'll feel sad when I watch his scenes in the movie.

I think this should show people in our society just how much nonsense we put celebrities through. It's to the point that they cannot stay on a somewhat normal schedule and they need to rely on sleeping pills and day pills to keep going. It's sad really. -1985LUKE

OMG!!! This is so sad. Now all we have is the memories. One will always stick out in my mind of him singing to Julia Stile's character in "10 Things I Hate About You." RIP Heath...you'll be missed by your friends, family and all your fans.

if tears could build a staircase and memories a lane, i would walk strait up to heaven and bring you home again..... you will be sadly missed, my thoughts and prayers go to those who were close to him :(

I agree with everyone here. This is so sad. I can only imagine what his family and friends are feeling. He was one of those people that seemed to connect with everyone around him whether you actually met him or not. This has been a rough week with Health ledger, Suzanne Pleshette and Brad Renfro passing.

» this comment was posted by StyleSwag on january 24, 2008 7:16 am «

he did not take illegal drugs. they did not find any in his blood and they didnt find signs of suicide. he either mixed prescriptions or accidentally OD'd. but nonetheless, he will be sorely missed. he was an incredible actor and sooooo good looking. i cried when i found out. his movies were incredible. he died before finishing the imaginarium. ten things about you will forever be his best movie. my thoughts go out to his family. <3 you forever heath
