More Than Five Drugs Found in Heath's Apartment

Heath LedgerTMZ has learned what types of pills were discovered in the apartment where Heath Ledger was found dead.

NYPD sources tell TMZ that nearly full pill bottles containing the anti-anxiety medications Alprazolam (Xanax), Diazepam (Valium) and Lorazepam (Ativan) were found in the apartment. The sleeping medication Zopiclone (Lunesta) and the sedative Temazepam (Restoril) -- which is used by people with "debilitating insomnia" -- were also found.

All of the drugs were prescribed to Ledger.

11. This is how much this man loved his job and loved seeing his fans enjoy his work......I'm gonna miss seeing him appear in new movies (that he was destined to star in) but I will cherish the movies he has put out there for us, his true fans.

12. THERE IS GOING TO BE A MEMORIAL IN LA AT THE END OF THE WEEK ACCORDING TO THE AUSTRALIAN..
THE AUSTRALIAN CONSULATE IS OFFERING ASSISTANCE TO HIS FAMILY WITH SHIPPING HIM HOME TO PERTH.
WE KNEW HE HAD A MEDICNE CABINET AND HE SUFFERED FROM ANXIIETY AND INSOMNIA........

THE AUSTRALIAN HAS THIS NEW INFO UP ON THEIR WEBSITE
The Australian newspaper is reporting that Heath's father, Kim, will be attending an event in Los Angeles at the end of the week with Aussie model Gemma Ward, the woman last romantically linked to Heath. It's believed the event will be a memorial service for the star. Gemma's mother, Claire, told the newspaper that her daughter is currently in New York.

Meanwhile, the 20-year-old's sister, Sophie (who's also a model), told the West Australian newspaper that Heath had sworn off alcohol at Christmastime amid a bout of anxiety over being unable to see his daughter Matilda, 2.

Sophie says that Heath was distressed over his split with Michelle Williams and being away from Matilda. He was "quite upset because he couldn't see his daughter as much as he'd like to," she said. "He was traveling so much and I think he was just frustrated with it all."
