VS Ledger's apartment exteriors\u003cbr/\u003eHeath Ledger was found dead Tuesday at a downtown Manhattan apartment, and police said drugs may have been a factor. The Australian-born actor was 28. Ledger had an appointment for a massage at the residence in the tony SoHo neighborhood, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said. A housekeeper who went to let him know the massage therapist had arrived found him dead at 3:26 p.m. \u003cbr/\u003eA large crowd of paparazzi and members of the public began gathering Tuesday evening outside the building on an upscale block, where several police officers guarded the door.\u003cbr/\u003eLedger was nominated for an Oscar for \"Brokeback Mountain,\" where he met Michelle Williams in 2005. The two lived together in Brooklyn and had a daughter, Matilda, until they split up last year.\u003cbr/\u003eLedger most recently appeared in \"I'm Not There,\" in which he played one of the many incarnations of Bob Dylan as did Cate Blanchett, whose performance in that film earned an Oscar nomination Tuesday for best supporting actress.\u003cbr/\u003eLedger was to appear as the Joker this year in \"The Dark Night,\" a sequel to 2005's \"Batman Begins.\" He's had starring roles in \"A Knight's Tale\" and \"The Patriot,\" and played the suicidal son of Billy Bob Thornton in \"Monster's Ball.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLedger grew up in Perth, and began doing amateur theatre aged 10. At 16, he moved to Sydney to pursue an acting career, quickly landing TV movie roles and guest spots on Australian television.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter several independent films and a starring role in the short-lived Fox TV series \"Roar,\" Ledger moved to Los Angeles and co-starred in \"10 Things I Hate About You,\" a teen comedy reworking of \"The Taming of the Shrew.\"\u003cbr/\u003eOffers for other teen flicks came his way, but Ledger turned them down, preferring to remain idle than sign on for projects he didn't like.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It wasn't a hard decision for me,\" Ledger told the Associated Press in 2001. \"It was hard for everyone else around me to understand. Agents were like, ``You're crazy,' my parents were like, ``Come on, you have to eat.'\"\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
