NEW YORK (CNN) -- Actor Heath Ledger is dead, the New York Police Department said Tuesday.

Heath Ledger was found dead in his Manhattan apartment.

The Academy Award nominated actor was 27.

Ledger's housekeeper found him dead in his Manhattan apartment, New York police said.

He died at 3:26 p.m., they said.

The New York Fire Department received a call at 2:27 today responding to a "cardiac arrest call" in New York.

They found an unresponsive male dead at the scene.

In 2005, the actor played Ennis Del Mar in "Brokeback Mountain," about two cowboys who had a secret relationship.

The role earned him the Oscar nomination.

Ledger was born in Perth, Australia.

I can't even believe this. I liked a lot of his movies, can't say I've ever seen Brokeback tho haha. Tragic death for a rising star. Seeing The Dark Knight is gonna be kinda creepy now.

Definitely! He was a very good actor, I liked a lot of his movies. I heard on the news they found him with a bunch of sleeping pills around him and stuff.

Really is a shame

Yeah a lot of places aren't commenting on the pills part, but I read his housekeeper who found him also found pills around him. Why would he do such a thing? Maybe a simple mistake?

I would probably lose my mind if there were people picketing a funeral of someone I knew, I cant even begin to think where that idea would even come from.

Another Hollywood star falls, a shame...I was looking forward to seeing him as Joker in the upcoming Batman. I think has played some really good roles, liked him in The Patriot. RIP.

Batman did it....

J/K, I have always like Batman since my brother was obsessed with the series when he was younger, looking foward to seeing the next installment.

RIP Heath....

Are you joking? I agree Brian. That's ridiculous. He starred in a MOVIE so you're going to picket his FUNERAL?! I just don't get it...what's the point?
