Heath Ledger, R.I.P.

His body - reportedly "surrounded by pills" - was found in his New York apartment this afternoon.

Ledger surprised everyone with his performance in Brokeback Mountain, and he played The Joker in this summer's new Batman film. I hadn't heard any Britney/Winehouse-type stories about him lately, so this is truly shocking news. I presume he'd completed work on The Dark Knight, but who knows what else he might have done?
