Ennis Del Mar no mo.......Star of Brokeback Mountain found dead
Heath Ledger, the Australian actor nominated for an Oscar in 2006 for his depiction of a brooding gay cowboy, was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on Tuesday. He was 28.

He was discovered in his bedroom in the apartment in the SoHo neighbourhood of Manhattan at 3.30pm by a housekeeper and a masseuse whom he had called for an appointment. They found him unconscious on the floor and called emergency services when he failed to respond.

According to the entertainment news website TMZ.com, paramedics tried to resuscitate him but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Prescription medicines were found in the room and police confirmed they were investigating a possible overdose, though there was no indication his death had been accidental or otherwise.
