From Yahoo:

NEW YORK - Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence in a possible drug-related death, police said. He was 28.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment believed to be his home. The housekeeper who went to let Ledger know the masseuse was there found him dead at 3:26 p.m.

The Australian-born actor was an Oscar nominee for his role in "Brokeback Mountain" and has numerous other screen credits.

If true, this would suck balls. His role as The Joker in the new Batman movie was getting rave reviews, and was said it could have been one of the greatest movie villains of all time.

The new Batman movie is in post production apparantly.

TMZ is reporting that it was an accidental death and he was found face down on the bedroom floor with pills around him. The medical examiner is going to do an autopsy tomorrow.

In an apartment owned by Mary Kate Olsen.
