    Now, I'm more saddened that Coincidence, er, Crash, won Best Picture over Brokeback.

    As soon as I saw the thread, I went to Google News. They didn't have anything up on the site, but there was a link to a story that said he had been looking very "rough" recently.

    NEW YORK (AP) — 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.

    Already on the NY Daily News and NY Post Web sites. The Post also reports it was a drug overdose.

    They said "They believe it was not a crime..."

    I'm guessing suicide or drug overdose or maybe both...

    RIP... Great actor...
