A New York Police Department spokesman says the actor Heath Ledger has been found dead at a downtown Manhattan residence, CNN reports.
Ledger was born in 1979 and grew up in Perth, Australia, where he discovered acting during high school. At 17, he moved to Sydney to get his foot in the door.
Ledger moved to America and gained prominence with the 1999 film Two Hands and a breakout performance in 1999's 10 Things I Hate About You.
The actor, 28, was nominated for an Oscar for his role in 2005's Brokeback Mountain. He was also known for his starring role in Casanova.
He split from Michelle Williams last September. They met on the set of Brokeback Mountain and shared custody of their daughter, Matilda.
Ledger was to star as the Joker in the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, due out this year.
Stay tuned.
