More on the death of Heath Ledger:

[Michelle] Williams, who met Ledger on the set of the 2005 film "Brokeback," has a daughter, Matilda, 2, with him. The two returned from overseas to their Boerum Hill home last night, hopping out of a black Chevrolet sport utility vehicle in the driveway and entering through the garage, but Williams did not speak to reporters.

Fans continued to leave bouquets, notes, candles and stuffed koalas outside the Brooklyn building, as well as at Ledger's Broome Street home.

In Brooklyn, community activist Daniel Goldstein remembered Ledger warmly, particularly because Ledger was on the advisory board of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, a group fighting the Atlantic Yards development.

"He and ... Michelle were very gracious," Goldstein said. "Most of the world's famous actors don't get involved in neighborhood organizations and that meant a lot to us."
