Heath Ledger dies at 28

So sad. Heath Ledger was found dead in his apartment today, and PerezHilton is already calling it an overdose. Such a brilliant actor, even sadder when you think that he has a young kid. Wonder how they'll market Batman now?

ETA: I see Joe beat me to the punch ...

ETA2: The story is getting more interesting. From AFP:

Paul J. Browne, the Police Department’s deputy commissioner for public information, initially said that the apartment was owned by the actress Mary-Kate Olsen, but later reversed himself and said that was not the case.
