New York Times calling it a possible suicide.
UPDATE: The New York Times now reports New York police have reversed their previous report and now say that the apartment did not belong to Mary-Kate Olsen.
UPDATE:
According to an AFP report, Ledger's family is describing his death as an "accidental passing." If so, that would rule out suicide, but it also can mean more possibilities than it might at first seem. Interesting. We'll see how this goes.

Yeah, no kidding. I was riding down the road and listening to the radio. The show I was listening to, in snarky fashion, votes on the recently deceased. They mentioned Heath Ledger.I was like, huh? Then I heard the news.
I still can't believe it either. It's a sad day for film.
