It’s sanni-licious

Actor Heath Ledger was found dead at a Manhattan apartment this afternoon in what appeared to be a possible drug-related death; he was 28. The actor was discovered in one of the SoHo apartment’s bedrooms at 3:31 p.m., when a masseuse arrived for a scheduled appointment and the residence’s housekeeper went to inform the actor of the masseuse’s arrival. He was found unconscious and unresponsive; the New York Times stated that the apartment in question belonged to actress Mary-Kate Olsen, who was not present and was believed to be out of state. An initial police report also cited by the New York Times said that foul play was not suspected and that pills had been found near Ledger’s body.A native of Australia, Ledger shot to fame as a teen heartthrob in 10 Things I Hate About You before graduating to more adult roles, most notably his Oscar-nominated turn in Brokeback Mountain. Engaged at one time to Brokeback co-star Michelle Williams, the two had a daughter but had split in recent months. Earlier this year, Ledger wrapped filming on the Batman film The Dark Knight, in which he played The Joker; the film is currently set for release this summer.

Heath Ledger, who made his way into my list of favorite actors by breaking hearts in “10 Things I Hate About You” and his role “Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein of Gelderland” in one of my favorite movies of all time, “A Knight´s Tale”, also hit it big with Brokeback Mountain, a role that nabbed him both a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination. He recently wrapped on “The Dark Knight” as “Joker”, and was headed for “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus”.

He is survived by his two-year-old daughter Matilda Rose (whom he had with actress and fiancee Michelle Williams). Condolences all around.

You will be deeply missed, Heath. Rest in PEACE!
