The Last Photograph of Heath LedgerHeath Ledger was found dead at his Manhattan residence, a police spokesman confirms to the Associated Press. He was 28. Police say the death may be drug-related. The NYPD spokesman tells AP that Ledger had a massage appointment at his Soho apartment.
When the housekeeper went to alert Ledger the masseuse was there, she found him at around 3:26 p.m. He did not respond when they shook him, and the housekeeper called 911, The New York Times reports.
He was pronounced dead at 3:45 p.m. Authorities later said they did not suspect foul play but that pills were found near the body. Despite initial reports that Ledger was subletting the apartment from Mary-Kate Olsen, reps for the actress denied that Olsen ever owned or lived in the apartment.
Ledger was last spotted publicly in London on Saturday on the set of Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Photos show Ledger wearing a clown costume. Other pictures of Ledger out of costume show him with long brown hair and a dark goatee.
