Heath Ledger dead of suspected drug overdose
Posted on January 22nd, 2008 at 7:58 pm by Dr J.


Actor Heath Ledger was just found dead at 3:35 PM ET in his Soho apartment, with prescription pills lying beside his body. Ledger was 28. While the cause of death is still unknown, Ledger was reported to have had a substance abuse problem, and it looks like an accidental overdose.

While Ledger will probably be most remembered for dark, tortured roles such as Enis in Brokeback Mountain and The Joker in the upcoming Batman movie; I prefer to remember him as he was in 10 Things I Hate About You. The guy from the wrong side of the tracks, who with the PG-13 love of a good women, comes back to the right side of the tracks. If only real life was that simple for Ledger.
