According to the New York Times Heath Ledger, the actor who was in Brokeback Montain and married to actress Michelle Williams was found dead in his Manhatten Apartment this morning from a possible drug overdose. They don't know if it was an accidental overdose but prescription and other drugs were found beside him.
Sounds like another sad story of someone unable to deal with fame. I understand he and Michelle are separated and have a baby together. Also didn't she have a sister who once played Danni Stewart on ATWT.

Message: Apparently he wasn't actually married to the mother of their little girl. I just really hope this was an accident. I guess they're considering that since he always had trouble sleeping especially after traveling back and forth to Europe like he was doing recently for a film. I mean, he still is deceased, but it hurts me to think anyone was so down they had to end their own life.

Message: I'm so sad right now, it's hard not to break into tears. I feel like I did when I heard of River Phoenix's passing. The circumstances may be different, but the situation is the same: a good looking, young man with tons of talent and promise is dead. It's shocking and it's devastating.
