He was also nominated that year for a Academy Award. He has a 2 year old daughter, Maltilda, with actress, Michelle Williams, whom he met on the set of Brokeback Mountain.

This breaking news is so sad. Best wishes to his family and friends. I really hope the paparazzi respects his family and friends by giving them privacy, but, you know that wont happen. R.I.P.
