Offscreen the actor had been romantically linked to actress Michelle Williams with whom he celebrated the birth of a daughter, Matilda in October 2005. The couple reportedly broke up in September 2007.
Then, on January 22, 2008, came the news that the 28-year-old actor had died in his downtown Soho apartment in New York City, with few details of the causes other than police reporting that it may have been drug-related.

Heath Ledger Tribute
According to reports, an autopsy appeared inconclusive, but pointed to an accidental overdose with the possibility of sleeping pills and anti-anxiety drugs playing a part. Family members in Australia, who heard of the tragic news from media reports, have also said the actor was suffering with pneumonia on the day he died.
Later, Ledger's body was moved to the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan following his autopsy. WIth the arrival of his parents from Australia, Ledger is reportedly being flown home for a private funeral service in Perth, the city of his birth..
