Heath Ledger, the actor who got critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for his role as gay cowboy in the movie "Brokeback Mountain", was found dead yesterday in a New York apartment.
Heath got his start in teen movies like "10 Things I Hate About You" and got his first big acting break when he played Mel Gibson’s son in "The Patriot". From that he got a staring role in the movie "A Knight's Tale". Heath will play the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie, "The Dark Knight". This will be his last film.
For all of his accomplishments in his short time in the film industry, Heath Ledger never took acting classes. He had a very promising career ahead of him and probably would have been one of the best.
Heath was found lying face down on the floor some sleeping pills lying near him. An autopsy came back inconclusive. The medical examiner said more tests are needed. However the police had thought that Heath’s death might have been do to an accidental drug overdose.
Heath Ledger was only 28 years old.
That’s the news about that. I hope the news about you is good news.
