January 22, 2008 -- Actor Heath Ledger was found dead today in a Broome Street apartment, apparently from a drug overdose. Ledger, 28, was well known for his role in "Brokeback Mountain," and he stars in the upcoming "The Dark Knight" Batman movie as the Joker.

Two bottles of sleeping pills were found next to his bed. Probably most like an accidental overdose.... He was young too! I mean, just last week actor Brad Renfro died at 25! They think it was an drug overdose as well. for those who don't know or remember... But yeah... RIP to Heath..... goodness.

I was shocked hearing about this. Such a talented actor and too young to die. How can you accidentally take THAT many unless maybe you were on something to begin with? I heard about Brad and he had drug problems. It's too bad they ruin their lives like that. This should be a wake up call for people like Amy Winehouse. *sigh* R.I.P Heath and Brad

It happens..... probably more than we know. I still hope it was an overdose and not a suicide........ His death is still not really registering in my brain that he is DEAD. I mean.... WTF, man?

I haven't stopped repeating "I can't believe he's dead!..... Heath Ledger is really dead!" I told my mom and she was saddened as well. She loved him in "10 Things I Hate About You" and "A Knight's Tale". This is just... surreal....

I couldn't believe it either - this is has got to be saddest thing too. I really loved all his movies - and damn, so young.
One movie he made that I find unforgettable is Four Feathers - the scene of him helping his friend after he went blind kept going through my mind two days before his death was announced. Weird.

Weird. well, it was an accidental death. But I'm also curious how he got all those prescriptions. I'm sure it wasn't that hard but Valium, OxyCotin, Unisom (can buy that OTC) and a bunch of other shit? Tha's enough to kill anyone!

seems like pharmacists weren't paying attention. because some of the stuff that gets mixed, whether it be OTC or prescription, it can do some bad stuff to you.

I'm almost afraid to know who is going to be next! Well, if it's Britney I won't be surprised.
