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."

47. 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

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

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

51. 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

55. 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.

56. Apparently he did do cocaine....don't they all?

That is besides the point....I am sad, speechless and at a loss for words...My heart goes out to Michelle, his daughter family and friends.

I think it was a combination that did not agree with his body....also if true the fact that he was ill with pneumonia was a definite factor.

God Bless.

57. Oh sorry we're waiting on the toxiology results, the autopsy was inconclusive.

58. Well, I wondered how long it would take TMZ to start twisting this around into a sordid tabloid story...keep it up, and the Ledger family will stop contacting you.

He was a brilliant actor, and my heart is just aching today. Give him some peace. It was an accident, plain and simple.

Shame on you, TMZ.

59. NYPD sources--whut some dude standing on the street corner who claims to be a NYPD source?? Like the other sources you've been using have been correct? Please this is so disrespectful to the guy, let the truth come out from real sources and leave Heath alone until then. Then you can have at him if he was in truth abusing drugs, because I am anti-drug and young'uns need to realize what drug abuse can lead to.

60. It has not been confirmed to be drugs........only the medical examiner working on his case can rule on that........no one working at TMZ is a medical examiner... I think.......


His family should sue all these people writing false stories about him.........
