Heath Ledger Found Dead in SoHo

By S.T. VanAirsdale

The Times is reporting that Heath Ledger, 28, was found dead in a SoHo apartment this afternoon. I'm speechless, so please, Sewell Chan, take it away:

At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near body. [sic]

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Terrible.
