It's very sad that my first post on this new Entertainment Goss blog is to report that Australian Actor, Heath Ledger, was found dead in a New York Apartment of an apparent drug overdose.
Ledger, an Academy Award nominee, was found naked and unconscious in bed at the apartment in the trendy Manhattan area of SoHo by a housekeeper at 3.35pm EST.
Prescription pills were found strewn around and near his body.
A masseuse arrived at the apartment for an appointemnt and was let in the door by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Ledger's bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom door and found Ledger unconscious.They attempted to wake him, and when they couldn't they called 911.
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. Police said they did not suspect foul play.
Our condolences and God's blessing to Michelle Williams and 2 year old daughter Mathilda, as well as the Ledger family from Perth, Australia.
