After seeing this picture I just had to share, no words needed.
At 3.31pm Heath Ledger, 28, was found dead in a New York apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police.
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne told The Associated Press that Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the Manhattan apartment that is believed to be his home. The housekeeper who went to let Ledger know the masseuse was there, and found him dead at 3:26 p.m
The NYPD said they do not suspect foul play and said they found pills near body. A call to the Heath Ledger’s publicist was not returned.
The 28-year-old actor has a two year old daughter with former fiancee Michelle Williams. He was set to play the Joker in the upcoming Batman film “The Dark Knight.”

So it would also appear that we have another fan of “Father’s Office” which couldn’t help but piss me off. Since Louis’ review “The Office” has been a regularish place for Friday night drinks, due to its walking/stumbling distance to home. While the food and beer is undeniable great the staff (aka door man) is the probably the rudest man to work in the service industry, at first I was convinced that it was just because I am a Royal pain in the ass, and prone to complaining about anything, however after dragging down much nicer, more charming and polite people than myself, we all universally hated him.
