Actor Heath Ledger was declared dead today @ 3:30pm. He was found in a Lower Manhatten apartment that was owned by Mary-Kate Olsen. According to the NYPD, over-the-counter sleeping pills were found in the vicinity of the bed. It is being looked at as a possible overdose, but it is yet to be confirmed. Heath was found unresponsive by the housekeeper who had gone to wake him up for an appointment with a masseuse in the Soho building. He was 28, had a 2 year old daughter, Matilda, with actress Michelle Williams, and was scheduled to play the Joker in the Batman film later this year.

“He was just so respected in the industry,” said Kim Serafin, senior editor of In Touch Weekly.

“It’s just horribly tragic. He was just a fine actor and a good person, so this is horribly sad and very unexpected.” ~ CNN

Wow, my hands are shaking while gulping my cup of tea. I didn’t think that Heath Ledger’s passing would shock and sadden me so… but, it did. RIP Heath, you will be missed.
