ACTOR Heath Ledger, who was found dead in New York today, had been taking a prescription drug that has been caused bizarre and potentially dangerous reactions for hundreds of Australians.

The three bottles of prescription pills found in Heath Ledger's Manhattan apartment in SoHo contained antidepressants and Ambien.

NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said that there were three prescription bottles found, all in Heath Ledger's name.

The actor, from Perth who was found dead of an apparent overdose today at the age of 28, had spoken in the past about having trouble sleeping.

i think he was a really good serious actor. he wasn't going for the typical 'mr. heart-throbe' roles. lessons to be learned here: life is short and unexpected. also, no to drugs..

also, in his memory, i'm going to watch 10 things i hate about you. i MIGHT watch his Oscar nominated performance in Brokeback Mountain but i'm not promising anything.. but if i watch it, i can definitely promise a lot of cringing..
