Yeah, I was reading about it earlier, it's sad "Club 27" for Hollywood types claims another (well 28 anyway) ... something about that age where you're just about to settle into who you really are ...

Keep in mind your asking for answers the very day the news was released .. frickin "now now now" generation .. geesh!!! [8D]
I'm sure they'll have plenty of 20/20's, Datelines et. al. picking it apart for you for the next few weeks.
Apparently that was part of the problem; the fact that they are NOT married:
After reading he had a daughter, I lost any sympathy I had for him and shift all the sympathy over to the daughter that now has to grow up w/out a father because his selfish act. (assuming there was no foul play involved)
Here's the British paper source article in case anyone wants to read it.

His remains were removed by police in a body bag from the apartment three hours after his death.
Ledger, who was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in Brokeback Mountain, has a two-year-old daughter Matilda with his ex-fiancée Michelle Williams.
An insider disclosed that the Brokeback Mountain star had been battling substance abuse problems for some time.
Perth-born Ledger took his break-up with Williams last September very badly, according to the source.
"Heath was shattered by his split from Michelle," the source told Mail Online, adding: "He became a recluse. He barely slept he was dealing with terrible mood swings."
Ledger spent the past several months mourning the loss of his relationship with Williams and friends say he had become an introvert, who was headed in a downward spiral.
"Heath totally wanted to be on his own these past few months since he and Michelle split in September," says a source. "She was very much in love with him, but the fact he continued to dabble in drugs kept their relationship from being one she could rely on.
"He adored his daughter Matilda, and when Michelle called it quits, he missed Matilda so much that he was thrown into a deep dark depression.
