NEW YORK — Oscar-nominated actor Heath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan residence in what might be a drug-related death, police said.

Suicide maybe… Friends said they saw it coming…

“This is terrible and I’m in shock,” a close friend of Ledger’s tells Usmagazine.com. “But to tell you the truth… we saw it coming.”

Hopefully they tried to get him help.

UPDATE:
Crap, I forgot.. he’s The Joker in the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight. They just got done filming…
