Heath Ledger was found dead in his SoHo apartment this afternoon surrounded by sleeping pills. He was 28.

He was found naked in Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment. A commenter at Gothamist says the apartment was listed at $23,000 a month.

First Brad Renfro, now Heath Ledger. Will the AP be ready for the next under-thirty actor death?

    Shame on you. Your tone is completely inappropriate. Heath Ledger's death is a tragedy and a great loss for everyone who enjoys films. He was a person, not just a pithy headline for your blog. Your callousness and glib response is really disappointing. He was a person, son and father and deserves a little more. Try again.

    Hey, hillmannic calm down people die every day. I don't see you on here crying about them. Whoever wrote this didn't do anything wrong or shameful. Shame on you sitting here at 3:01 am worrying about someone else’s life instead of your own.

    Actually, "diplomat," whenever anyone dies I think it is sad and shouldn't be an occasion to poke snarky fun. Its one thing to mock someone for not wearing panties in public, quite another to ridicule them in death. I'm pretty consistent in that belief, famous or not, and I think the tone of this post was wrong.

    As for 3 am, wicked morning sickness will do that to people. Believe me, I worry about my own life plenty. I still find time in between that worrying to believe that ridiculing those unfortunate enough to die young, leaving a toddler behind, is wrong. Call me nutty that way. Somehow, I think the big boys and girls at Jossip can handle my heat.

    What's the matter, Rebecca Aronauer and David Hauslaib? Heath can't make you any more money? I doubt if his daughter will think of his death the way you do - with no feelings. You should have a heart, somewhere in there.

    At Jossip they are so envious of everybody and so lack of felings that they don't deserve pity or any human feling but disgust. Their blog is so low in the skeme of things that as to be useless. Both David and the Becca are scum. Whether by heritage or by design they are low-lives.
