* WILLIAMS RETURNS TO WORK AFTER LEDGER DEATH Grieving actress MICHELLE WILLIAMS has returned to work on a film set just yards from where her former fiancee HEATH LEDGER was found dead. The 27-year-old filmed scenes for her new film Mammoth on set in Manhattan, New York on Monday (11Feb08). The former Dawson's Creek star was shooting the scenes for the upcoming picture in Sweden when she heard of her former lover's death last month (Jan08). But Williams' friends fear the Brokeback Mountain star has returned to work too soon after Ledger's funeral in Australia on Saturday (08Feb08). A source tells the New York Post, She looked heartbroken, but did a good job keeping her composure. She was also bleary-eyed, but she had a job to do, and she did it. Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment on 22 January (08), aged just 28. Toxicology results released on Wednesday (06Feb08) revealed he was killed by an accidental overdose of prescribed medications.

HEATH LEDGER DEAD Movie star HEATH LEDGER has been found dead in his New York apartment. The actor was declared dead by medics at his Broome Street, Soho apartment at 3.30pm on Tuesday (22Jan08), according to the New York Police Department. A police spokesperson reveals Ledger was discovered by his housekeeper, after he failed to answer the door to a masseuse he had booked to give him a massage. Pills were found strewn around his apartment. As WENN goes to press, there are no more details of his death. The Australian Brokeback Mountain star, 28, was just about to start promoting the Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight, in which he plays movie villain The Joker. Ledger moved to New York to be with his then-fiancee Michelle Williams. The couple split last year (07). The actor leaves behind a two-year-old daughter, Matilda Rose.
