Heath Ledger Found Dead Edit
Was it Suicide?

Famous actor Heath Ledger was found dead in an apartment somewhere in Manhattan last Tuesday. Police are considering it may have been a suicide attempt because the body was found naked and surrounded by pills.

“NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the apartment. The housekeeper, who went to let Ledger know the masseuse was there, found him naked and unconscious in bed at approximately 3:30 p.m. ET, according to The New York Times. After moving his body to the floor and receiving no response from the actor after shaking him, they called authorities,” MSN news reported.

“‘We are investigating the possibility of an overdose,’ Browne said. ‘There were pills within the vicinity of the bed.’

“A large crowd of paparazzi and gawkers began gathering Tuesday evening outside the building on an upscale block, where several police officers guarded the door. According to The Times, city workers rolled Ledger’s body, encased in a black body bag, out of the building on a stretcher.”

Ledger is only 28 years old.
