R.I.P.
Medics: Heath's Place Looked "Normal"

Posted Jan 23rd 2008 9:20PM by TMZ Staff

Heath LedgerTMZ has learned that paramedics who first attended to Heath Ledger were interviewed by NYPD today and said the scene looked "normal" -- meaning it didn't appear as if illicit drug use had occurred.

As we reported earlier, the $20 bill found at the scene tested clean for illegal narcotics, and the numerous pill bottles were nearly full.

The exact cause of Heath's death will be determined when the toxicology results come in -- sometime in the next two weeks.

61. Whether his passing was accidental, deliberate or because of carelessness, a beautiful, gifted young man has left this earth as we knew him and leaves behind many people both personally and professionally who love him and will miss him greatly,,,,,
including his own baby girl. Very sad.

64. BLABLABLA... you are a idiot to speculate a medic's accesment of a death scene is eqivalent to that of a "house painter"........we see death and crime scene's everyday,and we are trained on how to deal and equate them!!!!!!!we are trained in "death investigation" and how not to compromise a "scene"...beacause we deal with it so much....yes we do not solve a case,that's not our job.......but to say we are equivalent to a house painter make's you a MORON.....

66. I almost died after taking Vicoprofin that a dentist perscribed to me. My heart was pounding very hard and fast. I was terrified and didn't think I was going to make it. I was also 28 at the time. The DR. at the hospital was very angry at the dosage given and said a lot of people have that reaction. Yet the drug is out there. The only thing I take now is baby asprin. I'm too scared to take anything else.

I hate to speculate at all, but I'm sure his death was due to bad medications and illness. He seemed responsible. It's so sad with Jack N. giving the "I told ya so" and the things people are saying. I hope he finds peace in the after life and that his family can carry on.

67. Amom, thanks for your reply.
My doctor recently put me on Adderal (sp) and Ativan, due to some depression because of 2 close family deaths, etc., and my head has not stopped buzzing. I have to have the TV on all night or the buzzing keeps me awake. Plus I have no energy which was one of my complaints to my doctor. I don't know if this is normal but it feels weird. I have less anxiety but then again the buzzing is aggravating and makes me nervous in a way. Probably none of that made any sense.

I'm glad Heath most likely didn't suffer.

I think that Jack only said what he said because he was taking Ambien and nearly drove his car off the hills in Hollywood.
As someone stated in one of these posts, something to the affect that your brain is in a sleeping state, but you actually can drive or walk and move around and do things you aren't aware of...therefore, maybe that happened to Heath, maybe he was in a sleep state but took another pill or whatever and this did him in.

It's all speculation. I don't think Jack meant any harm. Jack is Jack if you know what I mean.

RIP Heath. I can't believe you're gone. You will be missed.

71. Julie, if you wathced and actually paid attention to REAL news reports, you would know that experts have been brought in and that these drugs combined CAN be lethal, especially IF OTC drugs were also involved, that's how you get an accidential overdose you moron. Not to mention his current poor physical and mental health that he was trying to get control of. The fact that you are asking TMZ to bring in an "expert" shows you have the mental capacity of a teaspoon and should be banned from posting ridiculous comments, same goes for the rest of you idiots who believe the trash that TMZ prints. Heath was a good man and should be respected for the work he did and the life he led. His death was a tragic ACCIDENT. RIP Heath

75. As I understand what I saw on MSNBC tonight, at 1 pm - he's snoring, the housekeeper heard. At 2:45 pm - the masseuse arrives, tries to call him on his cell, gets no answer, both finally go in the room and the masseusse sets up the table w/out checking on him while he's face-down under the covers and didn't answer his calls. When she's done with the massage table, she touches him, thinks he's "cold", checks his cell call log [?], and CALLS MARY KATE OLSEN - TWICE IN 26 MINUTES - THEN CALLS 911 at 3:36 pm??? Mary Kate doesn't call 911, she calls HER OWN BODYGUARDS, talks to the masseuse twice in 26 minutes WHILE HE LIES THERE? WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE CELEB BUBBLE PEOPLE? Was the housekeeper cleaning all that time? Could one of those silly women have not gone out on the street to find someone else that knew CPR whist the other called 911 when they realized he was COLD? Don't be surprised if the masseuse and housekeeper and Mary Kate get in serious trouble from this incredibly STUPID behavior. Granted, he may have been gone by the time they got into his room, but a 26 minute gap between calling MARY KATE OLSEN - twice - and 911 is stunning. It doesn't matter who the celeb is, or if there are illegal or legal drugs or not, the guy was DYING. By trying to keep it between enablers, those women may go to jail - perhaps deservedly so.
