Law and Order, a well watched weekly serial about homicide detectives reportedly will rip another episode from the headlines, by making an episode that will be based loosely on Ledgers death
The storyline will be based around a male model (Ryan Locke) who “has a great career and gets all the ladies” dying from a drug overdose.
A source told Page Six that the plot is “supposed to be about Heath Ledger”, adding: “leaves a club with a girl. They have sex and do drugs, and the next morning his friend finds him dead.”
NBC’s New York-basedshow has a history of taking inspiration from the news headlines, one example being a recent crane accident incorporated into this weeks ‘Falling’ episode.
