Fictional journalism? Esquire creates Heath Ledger's last days

After Heath Ledger was found dead in his SoHo apartment on Jan. 22, David Granger, the editor in chief of Esquire magazine, dispatched a writer named Lisa Taddeo to report on the actor's final days.

Her article, published in the April issue, which will be on newstands next week, finds Ledger eating Moroccan food with Jack Nicholson in London, returning to New York and partying at the downtown nightspot Beatrice Inn, eating steak and eggs at a café in Little Italy and wolfing down a banana-nut muffin as his last morsel of food.
