    Holy shit.
    NEW YORK -- A New York Police Department spokesman says the actor Heath Ledger has been found dead at a downtown Manhattan residence.

    Ledger starred in "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Brothers Grimm."

    This is all we have? What the hell?

    WTF?!? This reminds of River Phoenix's death over 10 years ago. Why the fuck do talented stars take so many fucking drugs and die young?!? This is such a tragic shocker.

    FUUCK

    The fact that some people are saying its a suicide makes it even worse.

    His preformance in A Knights Tale was cool and Brokeback Mountain was a masterpiece.

    Edit; Double fuck, Didn't he have a kid with Michelle Williams?

    Fuuuck

    So... I thought it was stupid overdose at first but now it looks to be a suicide. Owen Wilson tried to off himself recently but thankfully didn't succeed. I truly don't understand how someone as successful as Heath could think life was that bad? The media is gonna be all over this and even more so once The Dark Knight is released.

    He was going through a divorce with Michelle Williams or had recently finished going through that divorce.


    This really fucking sucks. This guy was one of my favorite younger actors.

    Yeah, the speculation's gonna run rampant until we get details. It always happens in stuff like this. I remember the wild rumors immediately after VT that it was done after a bad breakup. Let's keep our heads on until we get the facts.

    Also, FUCK. Dude was one of the few teen-idol types I liked and had good acting chops. I was just having a conversation last week with a friend that he might portray the Joker even better than Jack Nicholson did, and we both agreed, knowing how damn weird that sounded.

    NYC confirms, according to TMZ.

    I can't help but mentally connect this with Brandon Lee, especially after seeing pictures of the Joker makeup. I hope his little girl is alright.
