Remembering Heath Ledger.

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actor Heath Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on Tuesday, possibly of a drug overdose, New York City police said.

The Australian-born Ledger, 28, who was nominated for an Oscar two years ago for "Brokeback Mountain," was found dead by a housekeeper at his apartment in the trendy SoHo neighborhood, police spokesman Paul Browne said.

"We are investigating the possibility of an overdose," Browne said.

The housekeeper found Ledger at 3:26 p.m. (2026 GMT), naked and unresponsive, and tried to wake him for his appointment to have a massage, Browne said.

"There were pills within the vicinity of the bed," Browne said, adding that he believed they were sleeping pills.

No cause of death was determined.
