At 3:26 on Tuesday January 22nd, Heath Ledger, the man who captured our hearts in A Knight’s Tale and won our love in Brokeback Mountain was proclaimed dead.
Little information has been reported so far, but People.com and TMZ.com both claim that the cause of death is most likely a drug overdose. People.com reports that Ledger was found in his own apartment by his housekeeper, while TMZ.com declares he was discovered in an apartment owned by Mary Kate Olsen. Specifics have yet to be confirmed, and updates will come in during the evening.
Ledger was only 28-year-old and he and ex-girlfriend Michelle Williams had a 2-year-old daughter Matilda, whom he will not get to watch grow up. His new movie, "The Dark Knight, is set to release this year and his role as The Joker was speculated to be a memorable one; now it will most definitely be.
