Heath LedgerThe late actor Heath Ledger may have suffered from bipolar disorder, according to a new book.

The Brokeback Mountain star was found dead in his New York apartment in January from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. Now a new biography of the star - entitled Heath: A Family's Tale - reveals his uncle Haydn suffers from the depressive condition, and suggests it might have run in the family.
