One of my favorite actors passed away.

"Brokeback Mountain" and other great films actor, Heath Ledger, age 28, was found dead in his apartment.

I was half-asleep when I read the Internet news on yahoo, but it quickly woke me up.

"It must be a joke," thought I.

I've been devastated by this news since the morning.

I have seen many movies in which he acted, and he was one of the actors that my classmates and I often discussed in our "What is courtly love about?" class and that I have always liked.

It's really shocking and sad that he died so young.

But I hope he'll rest in peace.
