The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.

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 and said they found pills near body.

This is someone I have heard of.

Funny, I feel no different than when a celebrity I've never heard of dies.

"death happens every day." he seemed a nice enough fellow. I am always a little taken back when young people die. I have enjoyed some off his work.

Sounds like maybe he should have gone to Sundance and not stayed behind at Mary-Kate Olsen (huh?) apartment.

For a second, I was worried that this was the same Olsen that went out with Lance Armstrong (no doubt, taking a break from his marathon training), but luckily it is the sister.

No, that is funny - and if it offends anyone it is even funnier.

I don't know what Armstrong's deal is. He doesn't need to date freak celebrity hags to bring attention to himself. The dude might be the greatest cyclist ever.

Then again, perhaps he's trying to contract herpes.

Sounds like maybe suicide. Or at least drug abuse.

We have a suicide problem in this country. Single and male would be risk factors for Mr. Ledger.
