"He was found unconscious at the apartment and pronounced dead," the New York Police Department said, adding that pills were found near the body.This eerily reminds me of Brandon Lee's death before The Crow.

Heath Ledger dead at 28
What a shame, Heath Ledger has died and it looks like he overdosed on pills.

I had the same thought about Brandon Lee--it's the timing of it, just a few months before a major comic-book related movie. Also the physical regimen each actor put himself through prior to taking on the role, Ledger in particular, living alone in a hotel room for a month, completely isolated, reading biographical accounts of psychopaths, perfecting his mannerisms (oddly enough, he turned aside the "Joker" source material given to him by the studio, the graphic novels--he said the "medium was a turn-off.). It's going to be strange watching him on screen, knowing this is the last project we'll see him in, like Lee in "The Crow" or Raul Julia in "Street Fighter".
