Heath Ledger, the Broke Back Mountain star was found dead in his Manhattan Apartment this afternoon. Police said that drugs might have played a role in his death as they were found at the scene.

They said that he was face down on the floor at the foot of his bed and was in cardiac arrest. But other reports are stating he was found in bed sleeping peacefully.

There were 2 different bottles of sleeping aids found, it's being reported, one prescription bottle and one over-the-counter, which would make an accidental overdose more likely. Believe it or not but experts claim it is harder to over dose on prescrpition sleeping pills.

At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at 421 Broome Street Apartment 5A. His house keeper found him when she let in a masseuse for a previously scheduled appointment and his naked, lifeless body was discovered. They tried to wake him up and he did not respond and they called the authorities. He was in cardiac arrest when the paramedics arrived. CPR was performed. He was pronounced dead 9 minutes after they arrived. The last time Heath was seen alive was noon on Monday.Heath was born April 4, 1979. He was 28 yrs old.

Heath does not own this apartment. He was renting but the owner is not One of the Olsen Twins as was being reported. She does not own an apartment in the building.

Recently I heard that they were going to make Broke Back Mountain 2 and Heath would star in the movie. Presently he has a movie coming out this Summer. He played the Joker in the new Batman movie, " The Dark Knight".

Heath met Michelle Williams on the set of Brokeback Mountain in 2005 and the two had a daughter, Matilda. The relationship did not last and the two of them broke up in 2007. Jake Gyllenhaal is the godfather of his daughter.

I'll post updates as I hear them. No other details are available at this time.
