Heath Ledger Dead at 28 (Updated)


Heath LedgerHeath Ledger was found dead in Mary-Kate Olsen’s apartment (what?!). He was 28. According to the New York Times:

“At 3:31 p.m., according to the police, a masseuse arrived at the fourth-floor apartment of the building, at 421 Broome Street, between Crosby and Lafayette Streets in SoHo, for an appointment with Mr. Ledger. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of the bedroom Mr. Ledger was in. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed, with sleeping pills — both prescription medication and nonprescription — on a night table. They moved his body to the floor and attempted to revive him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities.”

Mary-Kate Olsen?! According to Louis: “Maybe Lance Armstrong killed him…it’s a set up.”

Update: Steve found that the reports of it being Mary-Kate Olsen’s apartment were refuted. This does not however, rule out Louis’s hypothesis of the Lance Armstrong conspiracy.

    This sucks. It looked like his career was on the rise. He was in the middle of shooting a Terry Gilliam flick.

    “Early reports said the apartment was owned by actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but a publicist for Olsen later refuted those reports.”

    I think he was definitely maturing in his roles, and that he was much more than the actor we first saw in 10 things I hate about you…its very sad, his joker looks like it will be awesome
