Heath Ledger, star of Brokeback Mountain and the forthcoming The Dark Knight has died.

According to the New York City Police Department, Heath Ledger was found dead from a drug overdose in his apartment in downtown Manhattan. Foul play is not suspected. Not much information is currently available, CNN is following the story.

Much has been said of the decision to cast Ledger as the Joker and recent clips and photos have had fans of Batman overwhelmingly excited. As this will likely be his final finished screen performance, I hope the role does the character and actor justice.
