Details on Heath Ledger’s Death

I woke up this morning to a slew of stories about Heath Ledger’s death.  These are some of the more ridiculous ones:

• Heath found dead at Olsen Twin’s apt.
• Heath is dead, what about Batman?
• Heath Ledger had a drug problem

I hate all these “news” sites who write 3 stories every 15 minutes just to make sure they are “the source” for the latest news.  The dude just died, take it easy.  Here’s the details we know for sure.  Heath had pneumonia at the time of his death and was taking medication for it.  He was found dead by his housekeeping staff and a masseuse.  They then called the Olsen Twin’s bodyguard who is also an EMT and was in the neighborhood.  By the time that guy got there, the police and paramedics were already there.  They said Heath had “been dead for a while”.  There’s also a report that there were sleeping pills found in the area, but it is not being labeled as a suicide.
