It was breaking news on News 24 ten minutes ago.
Awfully sad, both for his young daughter and his family.
From an American news site:

It's now appeared on the BBC news website. I can't believe it.

I can't believe it at all.
It's Heath fucking Ledger. A man in his prime, about to go into orbit with his portrayal of the Joker.
Makes no sense.

I can't believe it. It's so, so sad, especially for his young daughter.

This has genuinely shocked me. I just got a missed call from a friend, saw this thread and knew what it must have been about, made Dad stick on sky news.
Its so awful, i don't know the full reasons for his drug-taking but with a young child to think of and a career to look forward to. Its horrible

That's so sad, such a talented a actor and a young father.

He was only in London on Saturday filming. The timing is weird. That does make me think it could have been an accident

My friend just texted me this, and because it woke me up I keep thinking it isn't actually happening. I really loved Heath Ledger, he was a genuine talent.
And fucking hell, it's weird talking about him in the past tense.

Shit, this is awful. I loved him in practically everything he ever did! It'll be weird watching the new Batman film
My little sister told me on the phone as I was clambering onto the train and my yelping shriek of 'oh my god' made for quite an embarrassing moment as many people turned to stare. I am seriously shocked.

They first said he was at Mary-Kate Olsen's apartment, but now they are saying he was not.
TMZ.com has constant updating.

This is so shocking. And so so so sad. What a waste of a real talent.

This is really sad - Skynews showing trailer for him in new Batman film now - really was v talented and prob under-rated. Feel like staying up and watching his films in my own mini tribute.

The thing that gets me (and maybe this is me being old fashioned and showing my years), but there seems to be no respect for the dead at all. He was found three hours ago, and already all the gossip sites have trawled youtube for videos "clearly showing he was under the influence of drugs", not to mention streaming coverage of his corpse being removed from the building.
I'm being naive I know, in this day of 24 hour news this is to be expected, but come on, he's not even cold yet and the news is rife with speculation on how much of a druggy he was/was it an accident/what was he wearing etc etc.
Anyway, again, it is such a shame.

I completely agree. Flicking back onto tmz.com and seeing a live stream photo of his body being removed was horrible.

Genuinely shocked. So sad for his young daughter.
There isn't much you can say, but this really came out the blue

As you can imagine over here in Oz it's seriously big news, ironically most of the main entertainment jurnos are in New York as there's some celebration of the country there to mark Australia Day. Needless to say they have been clamouring over each other to get the exclusives.
