Ledger died on 22 January 2008[7][5] as a result of an accidental overdose of medications.[8][9][10] A few months before his death, Ledger had finished filming his role as the Joker in The Dark Knight. At the time of his death, The Dark Knight was in post-production, and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was in the midst of filming, in which he was playing his last role as Tony.
