Heath Ledger Died
Posted on 22 January 2008 by LJ
I’m actually shocked and stunned as I write this post. Listening to the radio just now, it was announced that Australian actor Heath Ledger died.
Ledger, just 28 years old was found this afternoon in an apartment in SoHo. He was found by a masseuse who had an appointment with him, and his housekeeper when he wouldn’t open his door for the appointment. They shook him but it was no use, he was pronounced dead 19 minutes later. Officials say that they don’t suspect foul play and that pills were found near his body.
Heath Ledger is most famous for his staring roles in “Brokeback Mountain” and “Ten Things I Hate About You”. In his newest film, “Batman: The Dark Night” he plays the infamous Joker. He was married to but separated from Dawson’s Creek star Michelle Williams. The two have a 2-year-old together, Matilda Rose.
I’m just absolutely shocked and saddened by this news. It’s not like I knew him or anything but this just seems like such a blow, especially for such a slow and steady up and comer.
The Daily Brew would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to the Ledger family, and all those touched by this tragedy.

I hope Heath Ledger wins a post-humanous Oscar for his brilliant prtrayal of the sinister Joker. That was easily the greatest performance I have ever seen by any actor ever.

I know, he was totally brilliant in Batman. I just wish he could have lived on to reprise the role. Dang.
