CH News: Heath Ledger dead at 28

Wow. Now here’s a particularly shocking piece of news:

Heath Ledger found dead in his SoHo apartment.

Ledger was considered one of the most promising young actors in Hollywood, having been nominated for an Academy Award for Brokeback Mountain (which he might actually have won, had Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Capote performance not been in the race as well) and cast as the Joker in this summer’s Batman movie, The Dark Knight.

Sad. He’ll be missed.
