TMZ has learned that 2006 Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has died in NY.

He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime, adding that prescription pills were found near his body.

According to NYPD a masseuse arrived at Ledger's apartment and was let in by a housekeeper. When Ledger didn't answer his bedroom door, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened it and found him unconscious. They attempted to wake him; when they couldn't, they called 911.

We're told when paramedics responded, the actor was in full cardiac arrest. They attempted to perform CPR on him, but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ron theres also the possibility that the KGB hired a chinese femme fatal ninja to assassinate him using an untraceable poison dipped in honey syrup, but that doesnt make me think that its the logical explanation.

Your missing my point. As usual. I'm not saying he did die to a reaction. I'm saying you were totally wrong about that being impossible.

Ron you define charletan, I really have no more to say on the subject.

people can slowly develop immunities to meds they are taking, this has happened to me as well, and you have to up the dose. Generally doctors wont let you go beyond the safe limit, but if you are sitting there in pain, you dont always think about what is good for you. Heck, i have a sleeping med that if i took four of them, i might not ever wake up again

its sleeping medication, yes you can become immune: but its relatively safe until really REALLY high doses.

Good to see that Ledger's death spawned another worthless argument on this forum. Cheers!!

NYC's ME released that autopsy results are inconclusive... sorta points to it not being overdose. Maybe he just... died. It happens. My dad's cousin died sitting on the couch with her husband watching a movie. He didn't even know until after the movie when he tried to wake her up. She was only 30. Autopsy said the same thing. Cardiac arrest.

oh that stinks... sorry to hear.

but still, spontaneous heart attack at 28 would not be my guess.

100.000+ dies each day. Many for much worse reasons. That don't make it less tragic of course.

Had to suppress the laughter from that one.

Great actor, first saw him in A Knights Tale, and thought he did pretty well. Was looking forward to his performance in The Dark Knight, from the trailer he looked like he could fit the the Joker's role very well.

R.I.P Heath...

scratch one point to ron *chalk sounds*
anyway i just came back from tea and this exact story was on the news. its sad when things like this happen and everyone has their ideas how it happened but he did say in an interveiw that he wouldent be worried about dieng(or somthing like that) because he felt like part of him would live on in his daghter so maby it was suicide, who knows.

I'm saying you were totally wrong about that being impossible.

heres what I said:

I'm not saying its absolute

all and all its just not logical to think it would be a reaction to medication, a smart person does not look at stars and think "MY GOD GLOWING SPACE RABBITS!"

theres the logical, and the absurd. saying that he had a fatal reaction to sleeping pills that he's been taking for ages, thats absurd.

now my friend alerts me that the guys on half a dozen different medications, now THAT could be a logical explanation. still its sleeping pills.

read my posts before you act like I'm an absolutist.
