NEW YORK (CNN) -- Actor Heath Ledger was
found dead Tuesday of a possible drug
overdose in a Lower Manhattan apartment, the
New York Police Department said.
The Academy Award nominated actor was 28.
"Pills were found in the vicinity of the
bed," police spokesman Paul Browne told CNN.
"This is being looked at as a possible
overdose, but that is not confirmed yet."
The pills appeared to be over-the-counter
sleeping medication, said police spokeswoman
Barbara Chen.
Ledger was unresponsive when he was found by
a housekeeper who had gone to wake him for an
appointment with a masseuse in the Soho
apartment, Browne said.
The apartment is owned by the actress
Mary-Kate Olsen, The New York Times reported.
Ledger was declared dead at about 3:30 p.m.,
Browne said.
In 2005, the actor played Ennis Del Mar in
"Brokeback Mountain," about two cowboys who
had a secret relationship.
The role earned him the Oscar nomination.
Ledger was born in Perth, Australia. He has a
young daughter with actress Michelle
Williams, his co-star in "Brokeback
Mountain."
"He was just so respected in the industry,"
said Kim Serafin, senior editor of In Touch
Weekly.
"It's just horribly tragic. He was just a
fine actor and a good person, so this is
horribly sad and very unexpected."
Ledger was always focused on his career,
Serafin said.
Some of his other film credits also include
"A Knight's Tale" in 2001 and "The Four
Feathers" in 2002.
The follow-up to the action hit "Batman
Begins," "The Dark Knight" reunites director
Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale,
who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne.
In the new film, Batman raises the stakes in
his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant
Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent,
Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining
criminal organizations that plague the city
streets. The partnership proves to be
effective, but they soon find themselves prey
to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising
criminal mastermind known to the terrified
citizens of Gotham as The Joker.
The film also stars Academy Award winner
Michael Caine ("The Cider House Rules") as
Alfred; Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger
("Brokeback Mountain") as arch-villain The
Joker; Gary Oldman as Lieutenant Jim Gordon;
Aaron Eckhart as District Attorney Harvey
Dent, who becomes better known as another of
Batman's arch-nemeses, Two-Face; Maggie
Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes; and Oscar winner
Morgan Freeman ("Million Dollar Baby") as
Lucius Fox.
"The Dark Knight" is being produced by Emma
Thomas, Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan,
with Kevin De La Noy, Benjamin Melniker and
Michael E. Uslan serving as executive
producers. Nolan is directing the film from a
screenplay written by Jonathan Nolan and
Christopher Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan
& David Goyer. "The Dark Knight" is based
upon Batman characters created by Bob Kane
and published by DC Comics.
"The Dark Knight" will be presented by Warner
Bros. Pictures in association with Legendary
Pictures. The film will be distributed
worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

THIS IS A NON-PROFIT VIDEO MADE PURELY FOR
FUN
Jack or Heath? Which Joker is better? There
are qualities about both that fans love and
wish could be better. Personally, I think
there's enough room for both of them, but
what if there wasn't? What if they faced off
to see who truly could call himself, The
Joker?

The song that used to be in this video was
"Storm" by Lifehouse, but the video got taken
down due to "copyright" issues, so I had to
change the song. It's now "Broken" by
Seether & Amy Lee. Just a short movie I put
together to remember the short life of Heath
Ledger. R.I.P. handsome, MAY ANGELS LEAD YOU
IN!

| Last interview with Heath Ledger |
 |
Heath Ledger died January 22, 2008. Over the
years I have interviewed him several times.
Once for Brokeback Mountain and once for The
Brothers Grimm. Over the years I have found
Heath pleasant, interesting, and full of
life. He has never liked the "interview
process" but many movie stars do not. My last
interview, however, was very different. It
was for the movie I'm Not There. I must tell
you that I have never seen him so unhinged
and figity as he was for this interview. Many
of the journalists who spoke to him also feel
the same way...but we had not idea he would
die within weeks. Here is the complete
interview I had with him just weeks ago for
his latest movie. I'm not posting this
because it was a great interview, because it
certainly wasn't one of my best. I am posting
it so people out there can get a better
understanding of Heath's state of mind just
before he died. Rest in peace.
