The death of popular actor and Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has left all his fans stunned. He was found dead in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 pm.

The 28 year-old actor, is father to a two year-old girl with former fiancée Michelle Williams. After having received critical acclaim and an Academy nomination for his work in ‘Brokeback Mountain’, Ledger was slated to play the Joker in the upcoming Batman film ‘The Dark Knight’.

According to the maid servant, a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A at 3:31 pm for an appointment with Ledger. The masseuse was led by her to Ledger’s bedroom where they found the actor in an unconscious state. They tried to revive him but failed. So, they immediately called the police. Cops do not suspect foul play but they found some pills near the body. Wonder what actually happened? Could it be the effect of Heath’s soured relationship with his fiancée or his liason with Mary Kate Olsen?
