At this point I'm just repeating what half my flist has posted...
Heath Ledger is dead. He was found unconscious and unresponsive in a Manhattan apartment. 911 was called but he was in full cardiac arrest when the EMTs arrived and could not be revived. Drugs are suspected because pills were found around his body.
