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.

Normally I find it hard to care about celebrity deaths. These aren't people I know, and it's rare that I'm so impressed by an actor that it affects me. Heath Ledger isn't an actor who's work I'm especially familiar with either, but this maybe me go "errrrrrrrrrrrrrr" in sheer blank incomprehension. Apparently the enormous level of fanboy squee that have been induced in me by a couple of Batman trailers have made a bit of an impression.

Talking of which, have you seen this clip?

Noooooo! That is so so sad. He was a wonderful talent and will be missed from his industry.
