Williams 'devastated' by Heath Ledger's death

Actress Michelle Williams, the mother of Heath Ledger's two-year-old daughter, is reported to be "devastated" by the news of the actor's untimely death.
Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment yesterday and police are currently investigating whether the Australian star, who was 28-years-old, died as a result of a drugs overdose.
According to People.com, Williams was on location in Sweden with the couple's daughter Matilda when she received news of his death.
Ledger and Williams had a three-year relationship together, though they split-up last year. A source close to the 27-year-old actress told People: "She's devastated."
The source adds: "I can't believe Matilda is going to grow up without a dad, without knowing her father. And that Michelle will have to deal with having a daughter who's lost her father. She's a survivor. She'll make it, but it's going to be hard. Her first concern is going to be Matilda."
