UPDATE (2:12 PST): More details from the New York Times:
At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play. Officials said pills fear found near the body.
UPDATE (2:36 PST): The UPS guy just came. I got a package. I had to sign for it.
UPDATE (2:45 PST): TMZ is reporting that Ledger was in full cardiac arrest when paramedics arrived and attempts to revive him were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.


Crack is wack. He threw it all away when he had the world at his fingertips. Beautiful baby, flourishing film career, etc. I hate him for this. He’s selfish and I’m disappointed. Michelle Williams and Naomi Watts must be mortified.
Damn!! Can I revise my celebrity deathpool order??? Heath was #12.
Come’on everyone knew he heading for it. Why man?
Very, very sad. I hope retarded chicks like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, and all other stupid boys and girls will see this is what drugs can do. Cool isn’t it? Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!
I seriously doubt he overdosed or committed suicide. I suspect foul play. We are talking about the man who chose to go hungry and refused work rather than continue to take roles that he didn’t believe in…That kind of behavior doesn’t fit the psychological profile of someone who would commit suicide. Plus, why would the pills be thrown about? That sounds like staging to me.
Congratulations Leeny! I think you are the new holder for the record for the quickest conspiracy theory after the death of a celebrity.
LOL Whippet! I just call it like I see it.
Mr. Celebslam, now your signed copy of Brokeback is a collector’s item!!
Hey Leeny,I taught about that shit myself who throws pills all over, that’s some movie scene shit.Besides if he was gonna kill himself why bother getting a massause. Why waste that persons time if your gonna waste yourself anyway.I smell A rat but hey that’s just my opinon.
at least he’s got a cool picture to remember him by.
