Heath Ledger Found Dead

    POSTED BY Omar P, 22 January 2008

    Actor Heath Ledger has been found dead in his Manhattan apartment of what seems to be a possible drug overdose. Sleeping pills were apparently found near his body but at the moment it is unconfirmed if they played a role in his death. Unlike most television reports claim, he was not in the process of filming the “New Batman film.” He was preparing for his next role in the fantasy film "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus." It is unknown at the moment how much work he did for the film and how much his death will affect the production.

    Ledger was 28 at the time of his death.

      I thought he was a great actor, and it is extremely sad to see him go, especially like this. Very shocking.

      Bombar, dude, come on...have some respect for the guy at least. He accomplished a lot for his early age.

      I wasnt disrespecting him, I was disrespecting the use of that picture in his obituary you puds. Get over yourselves.

      Read my posts in the forums chum...I've had nothing but good things to say about him both pre and post mortem. That picture however is horrid, and I'm sick of seeing it on every lame obituary on every website. The guy doesnt deserve to be remembered looking like that. If Nicholson died tomorrow would they post pics of him in whiteface on all of his obits?

      wow all the hostilities in here you'd think someone killed Captain America... Whatever if you dont like Heath's work that fine. If you did that sweet too. I think bombardem can say whatever he wants. (funny or just failing to be)If you dont like it just ignore him... Dont go all Tony Stark and Throw the dude in an inter dimentional prision until he signs the superhuman registration act...

      p.s. Marvel sucks!!!! DC 4th3w!n
