Heath Ledger has died at the age of 28. The Australian born actor was found dead by his housekeeper this afternoon in his New York apartment. As yet the precise cause of death has not been determined.
The former Home and Away star’s career was launched by the hit teen romantic comedy, 10 Things I Hate About You. He went on to earn an Oscar nomination for his role in Brokeback Mountain in 2006 and his latest performance was as a version of Bob Dylan in ‘I’m Not There.’ The late actor is due to appear later this year in ‘The Dark Knight’ in which he plays Batman’s nemesis, The Joker. He had been in the middle of shooting The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus with Terry Gilliam when he died.
It’s is an immense tragedy to see such a talented actor pass away at such a young age. May he rest in peace.
