Brokeback Mountain Star Heath Ledger Found Dead

I just found out only a minute ago, I was like WTF!? It is our australian actor! He is too young to die. What happened to him?
 
They are saying it's possible that it was drug-related as they found pills in his bed. Maybe it was a bad combination of prescribed drugs, or illegal drugs... or suicide. We'll probably find out more soon as they are done with the autopsy.

I'm not sure, but I think he was still filming a movie with Terry Gilliam, or he could just had finished it as he was in NYC when he died. He probably will be remembered forever as the Joker in the upcoming Batman movie.
