UPDATE #4 — Warner Bros. has issued the following statement: "The studio is stunned and devastated by this tragic news. The entertainment community has lost an enormous talent. Heath was a brilliant actor and an exceptional person. Our hearts go out to his family and friends."
UPDATE #3 — We hear from sources at Sundance that Michelle Williams is currently on a flight home from Sweden where she might have been filming Mammoth. No word on if she knows about this sad news yet.
UPDATE #2 — There are rumors that Heath was found at an apartment owned by Mary-Kate Olsen but this is not 100% confirmed. The pills are now being described as over-the-counter sleeping medication, according to police spokeswoman Barbara Chen. She also said, "This is being looked at as a possible overdose, but that is not confirmed yet." We're still in shock.
UPDATE — Apparently pills were found by his bed so claims of a drug related death are the latest news.
TMZ is reporting that Heath Ledger has sadly died. He was found dead at his home in NYC today by a housekeeper at 3:35 pm. No news on what happened and we are shocked and sad to report this terrible news. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and of course his baby girl Matilda.

25CNN is reporting it as well. This is so sad. I thought he was fabulous in Brokeback Mountain. How tragic.
26really is a shocker. as horrible as it is to say, when some famous people pass away, its not always too surprising...but this one was.
27Shocking!
28This is so sad; he is a talented young man, loved by many.
29Wow. I can't believe it. What a promising young actor, and a promising young father as well. I really, really hope that this wasn't self-induced. I didn't think he was the type to be overly drugged out or partying anymore... especially with a young one. Thoughts and prayers to his family should this be true. Does anyone know if they were through filming Batman?
