R.I.P.
Money in Ledger's Apartment Being Tested

UPDATE: Cops in New York say the rolled-up $20 bill did not appear to have any drug residue on it -- but they are in the process of testing it.

TMZ has confirmed with NYPD sources in the Heath Ledger investigation that cops found a $20 bill rolled up "in a certain way" with a powdered substance on it. Our sources say they don't know what the nature of the powder is, but it's being tested at the police lab.

CBS 2 in NYC is reporting cops found drug packets along with the $20 bill in Ledger's apartment.

Our sources say the manner in which the bill was rolled made them "suspicious."

20. Man, let the cops do their investigation. People should wait until they hear all the facts before they start judging this guy. All the media wants is another story like Anna Nicole to report on, since it sold so much last year. Whether or not it's an overdose, a suicide or whatever, he's still dead...let him RIP

22. Every one is just assuming that the guy was on drugs. Everyone that dies in Hollywood doesn't die from drugs. And we should just wait and see what happens. Send out love for his family and his ex. I am sure that no matter what they are still hurting over his lost. We all have our demons and sometimes they do take us away from here.

23. Whatever the case, it's sad for him, his family and especially his little girl. I hope she doesn't have to grow up hearing things like this. She lost her FATHER! hope she is sheltered...

24. Let him R.I.P. TMZ, I hope you researched this before printing, like you did yesterday. Remember you had to go and recant your story. you guys like to take info out of context so that you can be the first to run a FAKE story. It's not that important to give false information. Just get it right the first time. It's nobody's business how he died. Please respect the families when posting garbage. HARVEY GO BACK T PEOPLE'S COURT AND STIR UP SOME CRAZY CRAP!!!! AND TRY AND DO SOMETHING RIGHT. YOUR STAFF IS ALSO THE PAPS THAT CAN'T GET A FREAKING THING RIGHT!!!

25. I was afraid this was going to happen. I knew there had to be more than him just OD'ing on sleeping pills.

26. If he was having trouble with insomnia, why would he do COKE?? makes no sense at all for someone taking sleeping pills to sleep to also do coke which leaves you wired & awake... like, huh?

30. TMZ why don't you let him rest in peace. Stop trying to dig up trash on this angel. You know there was never a word of gossip about him. You know his work as an actor was flawless. Save all your negative gossip for the Britney's, the ones that really do ask for it. Heath Ledger was an awesome artist, with a child he loved and doesn't deserve your stupid, petty theories. Also, you may want to think about how your crap affects his parents. You idiots. Really.
