The reports in today that Heath Ledger has been found dead:
Actor Heath Ledger, 28, was found dead at a Manhattan residence Tuesday. Police told ABC News' Richard Esposito that prescription drugs including sleeping pills and two anti-anxiety medications likely played a part, and the death appeared to be accidental.
Was Heath Ledger addicted to downers? Who knows? Yet another sad loss for the entertainment industry and the world thanks to prescription pharmaceuticals. We can only hope his turn as the Joker in the upcoming Batman film is all it was hyped to be...
In somewhat related news, actor Brad Renfro, 25, was buried today. His body was found last week. Another suspected overdose.
