No, this is not some kind of sick joke. Australian actor Heath Ledger has been reported dead today, his body found this afternoon at his Manhattan apartment. A police spokesman has confirmed that Ledger was pronounced dead at the scene and that, while the cause of death has not been officially confirmed, the body was discovered surrounded by pills and the incident is being treated as a possible overdose.

Heath Ledger, born in 1979, has been nominated for an Academy Award for his work in Brokeback Mountaine and had just finished the eagerly awaited Batman sequel, and was shooting The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus with Terry Gilliam. Rest in peace Heath.

It's just so sad, regardless of what anyone else thinks of him, he was a fine actor and put everything into his work, and sometimes(The Dark Knight) too much.

It'll be sad to see him for one last time in The Dark Knight.
