Actor Heath Ledger Dead at 28

by NDK Creative Artist

I have just been told that Heath Ledger is dead and as I write this, the announcement is on the radio as well. I find that utterly shocking and such a waste, as I have followed Heath Ledger’s career with great interest. As Lena Semenkova said, “I thought he would go superstar after Joker role.”

Our condolences to the Ledger family, friends, fans and colleagues. What a tragic, waste of a remarkable talent and good life. Heath, wherever you’ve gone now, thanks for the entertainment, a damn fine career cut short too soon, but fine nonetheless.

The cause of death is unknown at this time, but police have confirmed the presence of drugs.

Where do we go now?
