CBS is now reporting that along with the prescription drugs that were found in Heath Ledger's apartment at the time of his death, new evidence has surfaced including drug packets containing an unknown substance and a $20 bill with narcotic residue on it. Specifically, the CBS news affiliate in New York reports:
Sources close to the investigation tell CBS 2's Investigative Reporter Scott Weinberger that along with the prescription drugs that were found in the apartment, police also recovered a $20 bill with narcotic residue on it.
Sources add they also found several drug packets containing an unknown substance. CBS 2 has learned these items were all listed on the official police report from the scene.
To be clear, it's still unknown whether these items belonged to Ledger or whether he even actually ingested them."
I want to stress that there is no real evidence that suggests that Heath actually ingested any type of illegal narcotic at this time. So, at this point, it would be highly unfair to assume that Heath did, in fact, ingest any illegal substances which led to his death. All we can do at this time is wait for further evidence, especially considering that Ledger's autopsy was ruled inconclusive. We will continue to report more information as it becomes available.
