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

Posted Jan 23rd 2008 12:48PM by TMZ Staff

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."

32. TMZ, we know what you are implying without you actually saying it.

TMZ, at least you handled the articles on this death far better than the deaths over the weekend.

34. 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.

36. I know you guys are desperate for stories, but don't YOU even get sick of your wild speculations based on minimal information?

First you report that there were pills "strewn" everywhere, now it turns out that there were perhaps 3 bottles of pills in the apartment. Now there are $20 bills rolled up in "a certain way".

PLEASE! We all know what you are insinuating! Either come out and say it or let it go.

Can't you have at least a little respect for Heath and his family? You're worse than ambulance chasers.

My heart goes out to Heath's family and loved ones; they deserve better than to have their loved one dragged through the mud for entertainment.

37. does The Facts of Life show come into anyone else's head?

Remember when Jo did a paper on her teacher and in turn he got canned due to her taking things the wrong way and not getting the facts straight. He had a breakdown for FACT... Fast Accurate Concise True

i don't know why i remember everything i hear, i just do. Sorry for the 1983 or so tv recap

38. I find it hard to believe TMZ. This is the first I've heard and you've been wrong before.
Grasping at straws?

39. Wouldn't the toxiology reports come back with drugs in his system instead of inconclusive if he had done coke?

40. oh no,

41. PS.. why would the guy do coke, if he had trouble sleeping????????????? coke is an upper and the ambien is for sleep...
That would be nuts to do coke.. if you can't sleep.. that would make a person edgier...... I would think........


This is going to turn out to be a incorrect story again

43. I have a feeling that perhaps the "white substance" found was some bad s***. Accidental?

45. It seems like some of you are actually happy that it was drugs. What the hell is wrong with you people?

Drugs or not, a man lost his life. Have some respect.
