I don’t write about celebrities if I don’t have to, but FoxNews is reporting stunning news that actor Heath Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment at 3:45 p.m. today. It has nothing to do with South Carolina politics, but I bet most of us have seen at least one of his movies, so we can all identify. He was 28 years old.

UPDATE: More from the New York Times:

At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near body.
