Heath Ledger Dead at 28

Heath Ledger RIP

Normally I would not post about celebrity gossip but I wanted to on this one.

Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday in a Manhattan apartment. Reports say that he was discovered with multiple pills around him but they do not think it is a suicide. I am saddened to hear something like this and feel the deepest sympathy for his daughter, going through life without your father I know first hand.

In 2005, he received a Golden Globe nomination for “Best Actor in a Drama” for “Brokeback Mountain”
Heath was engaged to Michelle Williams, they met on the set of Brokeback Mountain
He has a daughter named Matilda Rose born October 28, 2005

    A sad ending to a great career, he would have been one of the great alltime actors as George Clooney, Mel Gibson, Brad Pitt. Will be missed.
