At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, 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 the body.

Heath will be missed greatly, he was a very talented actor, and I thought he was going to make a great comeback with his Batman film, perhaps his personal life really took a toll on him or perhaps he was going through depression?. I am shocked just like everyone else, I don't know who or what to believe.

I send my sympathies to his family, especially to Matilda and Michelle.

It's a terrible shock when somebody as young, talented and seemingly decent as Heath dies prematurely. I only ever saw 'Brokeback' and he was great in that. He didn't seem like someone you needed to worry about, not like other celebrities you could mention. He was one of the good guys. So extra sad, especially for his little girl, family and friends.

Drugs need to be recalled says – reply to this

If 1 person dies because of a failed product there is usually a recall but because drug companies pretty much run this country they are allowed to turn a profit while innocent people die. Where is the outrage!!

Hey dipshits! How about waiting for the autopsy before making judgmental slams!? Derrrrrr…. how sad some of you are jumping to the worst conclusions without giving him the benefit of the doubt or without any real data!? You have NO idea what really happened or what was really going on in his life. I'm sure if the autopsy shows natural causes, you'll be the first to post humble apologies and retractions, right? LMFAO! Doubt it!

You little, judgmental, bitter, ugly peeps make me laugh, then cry because I realize you all are going to reproduce and multiply.

hey liz, #13 - go screw yourself.
heath was an amazingly talented actor. no matter what your views on brokeback are, it is an unbelievable movie. his role shined and he stole the film. in his new movie, "the dark night", critics were already saying he was going to win awards for his role. maybe if you were a considerate, liberated, or smart person, you'd feel sympathetic for his family.

rip heath!

Does anyone really care about this? (Other than the people who knew him.) I can't believe the shallow, ill-connected lies of so many people who post on these sites and never even met the guy!

I bet none of you react that way when young American soldiers die in Iraq. What's wrong with you people?!?!

CRYING NO says – reply to this

246

WTF…He is from my home town. My bro went to school with him…I thought he had he shit together. Don't think it was drug use…I reakon it was depression. I loved him as an actor and as a Perth boy - he marched for environmental causes back here in Australia. Seriously I am stunned - this is a HUGE loss for Australia and thew international acting community..he was well on his way to be one of a few of his generation….thoughts go out to his family.

My prayers to his family, I am so upset right now. I'm an actor and he has always been one of my heros, my heart stopped when I read the news. He was so talented an such an inspiration to every actor. I have been crying all day. I really wish this wasn't true….

julie says – reply to this

256

the new york times is saying that the apartment is owned by one of the olsen twins so maybe thats where you got your information about one of them possibly being there. I think he has been renting it from her for quite some time- since he left brooklyn, but the Times said that the olsen who owns the apartment is currently in california, so it means she wasnt there. a friend of mine told me she was in the area around the time that the news started breaking out and its pure madness in soho right now. so sad.

R.I.P Heath. Condolences to your family and friends. Your body of work was already brilliant. 28 is far too young to leave this world.
Loved you in 10 Things I Hate About You,
Adored you in The Patriot and
Delighted in you in A Knight's Tale.
This is a tragedy for the Industry, but more importantly a terrible loss for his daughter Matilda. All Australians salute you and grieve with your family and friends.
Jen says – reply to this

285

Wow this is so sad. My heart goes out to his family. I never suspecetd him to be the next one in the list of celebrites whose lives are ended too soon. He was a great actor and had so much potential..

FUCK AAALLL OF YOU ASSHOLES FOR SAYING MEAN SHIT!!!!!! Heath will most definitely be missed. Personally, even though there was a bottle of pills there I really doubt this was a suicide. If it is, I'll be surprised. He had a massage scheduled and I think he took some pills for the extra relaxation, hell, I've done THAT before.
R.I.P. Heath, I miss you already!!!!
Brittany says – reply to this

296

This is so tragic. What a beautiful man and talented actore. The world, Heath's family & fans, and the industry have suffered a great loss. God bless Heath, I pray that he is rests in a much better place, one lacking criticism and gossip…

Kylie Jenner Doesn't Care What Anyone Thinks About Her Scandalous Selfies! Here's Another One From The 17-Year-Old!

At this point, we shouldn't really be surprised by any of the suggestive selfies Kylie Jenner shares on Instagram.

But we're just going to have to do the usual freakout, since she's still underage...

We get that Kylie's turning 18 this year, but DAMN girl! Judging by her birth certificate, she's still only 17! Where are her parents?!

[ Photos: Kylie & Kendall's Most Scandalous Instagram Photos! ]

The young Keeping Up With the Kardashian star posted yet another scandalous selfie on the ever-so-popular photo sharing app on Monday, captioning the snap (above):
