According to numerous news sources, Heath Ledger was found dead of a possible sleeping pill overdose at 3:35pm New York time. NBC says his body was found surrounded by pills.
What the heck? Was this an accident, or intentional? He seemed to have a lot going for him, and his career was just in it’s “early” stages. “The Dark Knight” will apparently be his last full length film, as he was in the middle of filming “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” when he passed, and it’s doubtful he completed all his scenes, being the lead and all.
Wow, anyways. What a bummer. Another young actor lost.
