Heath Ledger, the Australian actor who earned an Academy Award nomination for his turn as a stubbornly taciturn gay ranch hand in Brokeback Mountain, was found dead yesterday in a Manhattan apartment, New York police said. He was 28.
Authorities said the autopsy was inconclusive and that it would take about 10 days to determine a definitive cause of death for the actor, whose fans remembered him Wednesday by leaving flowers and candles outside his Manhattan apartment.
The Australian-born actor was found dead Tuesday by his housekeeper and a massage therapist -- lying naked and face-down on the floor at the foot of his bed, police said. A rolled-up $20 bill was found near Heath Ledger's body, though no illegal drugs were found in his apartment.
