TMZ has learned that 2006 Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has died in NY.

He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper at 3:35 PM ET today. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime.

The 28-year-old actor has a two year old daughter with former fiancee Michelle Williams -- they separated in September, 2007. He plays the Joker in the upcoming Batman film, "The Dark Knight."

MSNBC (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/) is reporting that the actor was found, surrounded by pills.

That's sad, news report sites have said it was possibly an overdose of sleeping tablets.

Just like Brandon Lee who also died young. Heath Ledger had some great films and his last film will be a good one. I didnt think he was going to play a good joker and nobody has seen the movie yet but from the trailors holy crap he looked well as a joker.

Definitely sad news.
I gotta agree with Eric, he seemed like a great joker in the trailer.

It will not be discontinued because the film is already finished.

Warner Bros. were going to make the Joker the main campaign focus of the new Batman movie, infact the role as Joker would've boosted Heath Ledger's career.

Heres a video I found on video.msn.com of his body bing taken from his apartment.
