Heath Ledger's apartment added to celebrity sightseeing tour

A celebrity sightseeing tour has sparked anger by adding the apartment where Heath Ledger died to its route.

Rich & Famous Tours - which bills itself as the "celebrity insider's tour" of New York - has annoyed neighbours in the building where the Brokeback Mountain star passed away last month.

One resident hit out: "This is speedy capitalization."

Ledger was found dead in the Broome Street loft, in the city's trendy SoHo area, on January 22. He was 28. The death was ruled an accidental overdose.

Another "death stop" on the tour is 965 Fifth Avenue - where real estate broker to the stars Linda Stein was found bludgeoned to death, the New York Post reports.
