A twisted impostor claiming to be Heath Ledger's dad called FOX's New York affiliate looking for info just after the actor's death -- and tried to obtain his ex-girlfriend Naomi Watts' number from the station.
The unnamed caller was taped telling a reporter that Ledger's death was a "mistake" and claimed that Ledger loved daughter Matilda "to bits," among his other fabrications. TMZ spotted Ledger's dad, Kim -- the real one -- today at Heath's SoHo apartment, where he stayed for about an hour and left.
Reports have claimed that the impostor called Tom Cruise and the funeral home where Heath was taken, as well as the cops and medical examiner. Halle Berry's rep says that the fake Kim Ledger did not call Halle, and TMZ has contacted reps for John Travolta and Mel Gibson, who were also said to have been contacted.

Dont judge us by this 1 freak.
this guy has some guts, how can any one even think of doing such a thing at a time when people are sensitive and are moarnng and greeving.
What a dooooosh!!!
He's probably someone hoping to sell a phony phone call on the Howard Stern show or something. Unfortunately, there are people out there sick enough to think stuff like this is funny.
What a jerk to fake being the father of a famous actor , have some respect dude! Leave everyone alone, let them grieve over thier loss! Quit lieing that your his father how do you think your making people feel? Do you have mental issues that need to be adressed? My prayers go out to his family and to Matilda! R.I.P. Heath!
Holy geez. That is probably the sickest thing I've heard in quite a while. How could anyone even THINK of doing that? And how could the freakin' media fall for it? He couldn't even fake an Australian accent well. Hel-lo. ANd besides, I think if my son suddenly died like that I probably wouldn't be giving interviews to the media for one thing, and for another I REALLY don't think I would be that calm and put together.
People never cease to amaze me. And that's a bad thing.
