Heath Ledger autopsy inconclusive

The autopsy of actor Heath Ledger was performed today. Today’s findings were inconclusive, and the coroner is calling for more tests including toxicology and tissue tests. Those results are expected to take approximately another two weeks. The most popular theory is accidental overdose, as bottles of anti-anxiety and sleeping pills were found nearby. A rolled up $20 bill was also found at the scene and will be routinely tested. It has been made very clear that no illegal drugs were found. Heath said in an interview with The New York Times given in November 2007 that he was stressed and having difficulty sleeping while filming the Batman movie Dark Knight. In that interview he mentioned he’d taken two Ambien pills to help him sleep but he had only slept for an hour.
