Hollywood actor Heath Ledger was found dead in a New York City apartment on January 22nd, 2008. He was 28 years old. His last finished acting role was that of the Joker in the Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight, and we at UGO were anxiously waiting to see what a performer some had called one of the best actors of his generation could do with such an iconic character. Now, we're left with memories and what we hope will be a fantastic final flick for this fallen movie star.
UGO dispatched our cameras to take in the scene. See the video of his body being removed from his New York City apartment on this page, and then join us for a look back at the life, loves and work of Heath Ledger.
