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 is reporting that the actor was found, surrounded by pills.

I agree. Just seen this on the news and it shocked me.

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.

what other movies has he been in?

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