Ledger was born in Perth, Western Australia, the son of Sally Ledger Bell (née Ramshaw),[2] a French teacher, and Kim Ledger, a race car driver and mining engineer.[3] Ledger's mother is descended from the Clan Campbell of Scotland and his father comes from a family well-known in Perth. The Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust was named after his great-grandfather.[4] Ledger attended Marys Mount Primary School, in Gooseberry Hill, and later Guildford Grammar School and its preparatory school of the same name.

According to the New York City Police Department, Ledger was found dead in his apartment in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan on January 22, 2008.[20][21]
'The New York Times reports:
“"At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A of 421 Broome Street in SoHo for an appointment with Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Ledger unresponsive. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near his body[22][23]”

I remember hearing that he spent a shitload of time in solitude perfecting his role as The Joker. Maybe the role got to him? I really wouldn't be surprised. He did say he was going into some dark territory for the Joker. Perhaps it was more than he could handle.

and to quote the joker's last words in batman beyond:

"Thats not funny..."
