Heath Ledger Found Dead at 28

Here's one for the "holy crap" files. Heath Ledger, most recently starring in the upcoming (and eagerly anticipated) "Dark Knight" Batman flick, was found dead today in NYC at age 28.

They're saying drugs may have been a factor, which is of course uncool. Kids, don't do drugs. They'll kill anybody, even if you're a knight, cowboy, or even the Joker.

...unless he committed suicide or something, which is even more uncool. And extremely sad. I mean, it's sad anyway, but more sad if he just got fed up with the life he had. They haven't announced anything either way.

Anyway, it's a shame. Dude had some talent. Heck, looking at pictures of him now, he may have been someone I tapped to cast as a Talebearer character. He might have made a good Simon. Real good.

Dang.

My prayers go out to him and his family. May he rest in peace.
