AN ANOUNCEMENT.....

Hollywood actor Heath Ledger has been found dead in his Manhattan apartment from a possible drugs overdose, according to police.
A spokesman said Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the apartment in the Soho district, believed to be his home.

The housekeeper went to tell Ledger the masseuse had arrived and found him dead.

The 28-year-old Australian-born actor received an Oscar nomination for the hit film Brokeback Mountain.

Ledger met his wife, actress Michelle Williams,   more...on the set in 2005.

They lived in Brooklyn and had a daughter, Matilda, but split up last year.

Ledger had starring roles in A Knight's Tale and The Patriot.

He was to appear as the Joker this year in The Dark Knight, a sequel to 2005's Batman Begins.

Sky's entertainment correspondent Matt Smith said: "He was not someone who troubled the headlines - he and his partner kept out of the limelight."
