Heath Ledger 1979-2008 Article by Stafffighter, 05:53 PM 22nd Jan Heath Ledger was found dead today in his New York apartment. The cause of this sad event is not yet confirmed and rumors will not be fueled here. Along with his most recent work as the villain Joker he was known to often play the hero in such films as The Patriot, A Knights Tale and the socially relevant Brokeback Mountain. The thoughts and wishes of the Endless Crew go out to his family, particularly his two year old daughter Matilda, who will hopefully grow to know who her father was both from family and through the work he left to the world. He was 28. Back to The Endless Crew
