Heath Ledger’s apartment in New York is heading into foreclosure amid a dispute by two investors in the building, according to an Australian report.

Ledger was found dead of an overdose of a number of prescription drugs in the Soho apartment in January of 2008.

The tragic actor’s fourth-floor apartment has been empty since his death. The star had paid rent on the three-bedroom apartment at $22,000 per month for five months prior to his death, it was reported.

After he was discovered naked in his bedroom, media and onlookers crowded outside the building. Australian band Eskimo Joe has released a chilling radio hit single about the event, Foreign Land, which occurred while they were on tour in New York.

“New York is a big bad city in some respects,” singer Kav Temperley said recently. “It’s got a coldness and loneliness to it. And this young man dying in a foreign land – we felt the loneliness of the situation.”

The investors in question are millionaire Donald Burns and Brazilian artist Junia Neiva who are locked in a court battle. A rental listing for $26,000 was removed this year, the report says.
