==Heath Ledger==
The death of Heath Ledger, though indeed an actor, shows no signs (as yet) of being another tragic 'Hollywood Values' case. The details known to date are:
* Heath Ledger, 28, found dead naked in his [[Manhattan]] apartment. "Prescription sleeping pills and anti-anxiety pills were found in bottles in Ledger's bedroom and bathroom, and police have speculated the death was caused by an accidental drug overdose."<ref>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080123/ap_en_ce/obit_ledger</ref> A rolled up $20 bill was found, but drug tests tested negative for drug residue. "There were no illegal drugs found" in the apartment, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Wednesday<ref>http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/01/24/heath.ledger.dead/index.html</ref>. NYPD detective Kevin Czartoryski said, “There’s no signs of any criminality or foul play.
