Six different types of prescription drugs were found in Heath Ledger's apartment -- including anti-anxiety medications and sleeping pills -- though the cause of his death won't be known for several days after a preliminary autopsy Wednesday was inconclusive, authorities said.

A rolled-up $20 bill was also found on the floor near the Australian actor's bed, but lab tests detected no traces of drug residue. Police also said no illegal drugs were found in the apartment.

Among the prescription medications found were pills to treat insomnia and anxiety, and an antihistamine, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Three of the drugs were prescribed in Europe, the sources said.

The $20 bill was found on the floor near Ledger's bed, and New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said lab tests found nothing to indicate it had been used to snort drugs.

The Australian-born actor was found dead Tuesday by his housekeeper and a massage therapist -- lying naked and face-down on his bed, police said. The pills were found in bottles in Ledger's bedroom and bathroom, and police said the death was caused by a possible drug overdose and appeared to be accidental.

Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office, said the autopsy on the 28-year-old actor was inconclusive and that more would be known in about 10 days, when more tests were completed.

Police said Ledger probably died Tuesday between 1 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. At 1 p.m., the housekeeper went into his bedroom to change a light bulb, saw him sleeping and heard him snoring.

At 2:45 p.m., the massage therapist showed up for Ledger's appointment, knocked on his door and got no answer. She later noticed Ledger was unconscious and called Mary-Kate Olsen, whose number was programmed into Ledger's cell phone, to seek advice.

Olsen said she would send over her private security. In the ensuing moments, the massage therapist realized that Ledger might be dead, and called 911. Paramedics -- and Olsen's security people -- arrived minutes later.

this report is inaccurate. Nobody has confirmed a drug overdose. The toxicology reports have not come back yet.

Olsen is going to take a hit on this one and her empire...it will look as if she was more concerned about publicicty linked to her than the health of a friend...bad.

You're right, Heath Ledger didn't mean to kill himself, he just wanted to get high. He accidentally killed himself. But, Heath is an asshole for abusing drugs (some of which were not prescribed to him). The person who sold him the prescription drugs is a drug dealer, and an asshole. It astonishes me how people will defend someone to the death when they (most likely) never knew them personally. Get a fucking clue, so should everyone else who reads Star magazines. losers

It was by complete accident. It wasn't his fault.

Heath Ledger didn't mean to kill himself,it was by complete accident.Don't call Heath a asshole,call the guy who sold him the prescription drugs a asshole.

cocksnap is wrong. Olsen told the police everything she knew.

And Germanicus is right, she did everything she could to help him. People like cocksnap need to stop reading dumb gossip magazines.

Btw, what cocksnap444 said is COMPLETELY incorrect. Here are the facts:

The Coroner's Office of the State of New York official verdict is he died of an overdose of prescription drugs. No illegal drugs were found. And he got the pills from his 2 doctors.

Ms. Olsen was completely cleared of ANY wrongdoing.

[Germanicus800]

The lady who found his body (New York) called Ms. Olsen cause she didn't speak english well. But Olsen was 3,000 miles away (Los Angeles), so she told the lady to call 911, then she sent over a man she knew who knows CPR who might help.

Anyway none of it mattered, cause the police said he was already dead when the lady first found him.

What Olsen had to do with it is, she tried to help him, but it was too late.

No, cocksnap444, I'm not her lawyer. I'm just a person who believes that people should not be crucified by the public on the basis of rumors/guesses.

And I disagree with you about MK. She's a human being with feelings who's just trying to live her life the best she can like you, me, everybody. And don't worry, the truth WILL come out, you'll see. She did not give him drugs.

Peace :)

what are you his Lawyer. Mary-Kate is a priviladged shit who should be fessing up and telling the truth
