Actor Heath Ledger was found dead in his SoHo apartment this afternoon. The Academy Award nominee is said to have been surrounded by pills when his housekeeper discovered him. *update – the pills were near his body but not strewn all over the place as was previously reported.
A New York Police Department spokesman has confirmed the death.
The actor, whose last role will be that of the Joker in the upcoming Batman flick "The Dark Knight" leaves behind a two-year-old daughter (Matilda Rose) with former fiancée, Michelle Williams.
This is just terribly sad and devastating news. My heart really goes out to his friends and family. I’m a stranger and I’m so hurt, I cannot even imagine the pain they are feeling.

I can’t believe how shocked I am over this–I really like Ledger as an actor, and he seemed like a great person, too.
Incidentally (and fortunately for his fans and moviegoers), Ledger already completed filming his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight, so that final performance is a wrap. Now I’m looking forward to the movie more than ever.

Devastating. I still just cannot believe it either.
