First we lost Brad Renfro, and now the New York Times reports that actor Heath Ledger, critically lauded for his performance in the groundbreaking "Brokeback Mountain," has been found dead in his SoHo apartment. Pills were found near his body, but no cause of death has been reported yet.
Heath Ledger most recently gave one of the critically acclaimed performances in the Bob Dylan biopic "I'm Not There" and will be seen shortly as the Joker in the second Batman prequel, "The Dark Knight", which is now in post-production. He was filming Terry Gilliam's "Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," which was due in 2009.
In September, Ledger and actress Michelle Williams ended their three-year relationship. They had one daughter, Matilda Rose. Heath Ledger was 28. Our thoughts are with his family as the world mourns the loss of another promising young actor.

You were truly a wonderful actor and will be missed. I pray that God comforts your family, friends and love ones during this time. God Speed Heath!
You will be missed. You inspired a lot of people. You will live on through your little girl. Rest In Peace.
Heath, I loved you in all your movies, especially "A Knight's Tale." You were a wonderful actor, and will be greatly missed.
Blessed Be,

Heath, you were my favorite actor since I was 13 years old. I really enjoyed watching your movies. It was a tragic loss, such a young and talented actor. You will be forever remembered in all our hearts. May you rest in peace.
My heart goes out to Matilda Rose for the loss of her father, I pray that her mother will let her know what she has missed, and to Heath's family, friends, and to all who loved him through his movies, he is going to be sadly missed.
He had me at 10 Things I Hate About You, I laughed and I cryed. His death is a tragic loss at such a young age, the same age as my oldest son who was born 7-6-79. Heath was such an inspiration, he would take the movie roles that no one else wanted.
May he rest in peace.
