Australian actor Heath Ledger was found dead Jan. 22 from an apparent suicide at a Manhattan apartment, naked in bed with sleeping pills nearby, police said. He was 28.
Ledger received an Oscar nomination in 2006 for his performance as a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain, where he met Michelle Williams, who played his wife in the film. The two had a daughter, Matilda, and lived together until they split up last year.
