And The Autopsy Reveals….
Filed under: Australiastic > Heath Ledger
The results of Wednesday's autopsy did not immediately determine a cause of death, the medical examiner in New York has revealed.
We will have to wait until the toxicology reports come in (a few weeks from now) to determine the exact cause of Heath Ledger's untimely passing.

rip heath xxx
5th!
Any word on funeral arrangements? And where is Michelle?
this is so awful. I hope you rest in peace, young gentleman.
I had a feeling that this would drag on
RIP.
took you long enough to post it. No one should assume anything about the cause of his death. Maybe it was an overdose, but you can go into almost house and find some kind of prescription drugs. Even if he did die of an overdose, he should be remembered for the work he did, not the way he died.
sorry this is so awful. may you rest in peace, young gentleman.
Re: & – why does perez have no class? bc he is reporting what everyone is checking here 100 times an hour to see if there is any updates? get a life dude! perez you rock!

Michelle was reported by Eonline to be filming in Sweden at the time of his death. Don't know if E is 100% accurate.
I still think it was an accidental overdose, esp. as there have been reports he had trouble sleeping, and besides, who tries to purposely kill themselves just before they had an app't?(he was expecting the massuese).I think he accidently took too many pills, perhaps forgetting when he last took a dose, or else combined pills that had a bad interaction….he had a few films upcoming; it's not like his career was bad; I say it was just a tragic accident.it's sad.I hope he's at peace.
Get a grip folks. Perez is a gossip/celeb blogger, not the Ledger family spokesman.
THIS IS SOOOOOOO SAD!
I CANT BELIEVE IT!
THIS IS SOOOOOOO SAD!
I CANT BELIEVE IT!
THIS IS SOOOOOOO SAD!
I CANT BELIEVE IT!
he's gorgeous. and a talented actor. my condolences. RIP!!
I cant belive it. He is really dead. They have cut in his body. Bring him back.
This is just so sad, I can't stop thinking about it. Many yeras ago I was on sleeping pills (Ambien) and sometimes they would not exactly work, but instead make me have hallucinations and often times i would get up and start popping more pills because i was so confused and just thinking that i wanted to sleep and not think or hallucinate…. one time i took so many (not really knowing what i I was doing) that i ended up at the ER having my stomach pumped… it was awful.
I truly believe in my heart that in the case of Heath, it was an accident….. he was a lovely person with a bright future and a beautiful daughter.
May he rest in peace …. and let us all be kind to his soul and his family at this time
Nice pic
RIP
FIRST
I am so sad. This is so sad. My god, that little girl will grow up without her dad. Oh my god. That is sooooo sadd!
Overdose….
too much heroin , followed by sleeping pill and valium
I was shocked when I heard yesterday.
Yeah that is pretty low. U fat ass loser. have respect for something. Ur type reason the world isnt as cool as it could be
Well thats pretty obivious…..
Its too sad.
Its not a fucking game show, Perez
Have some damn respect!
So much for the pneumonia angle. What a shame.
how does that show no class??? he's just stating information
Darn
let's try to report this death with some dignity.
hes hott
What, there were no Scientologists around to save him? Guess they shoulda been there instead of the EMTs
So PLEASE stop speculating that it was drugs until an official report has been released. It's disrespectful to Heath, his family, and his TWO YEAR OLD little girl. Have some shred of decency Perez.
so sad! he didnt deserve this!
He looks amazing in this photo. It's hard to believe he's gone.
R.I.P. Heath…
watching Candy (2006) in honor of Heath's passing…I didn't realize what a great actor he was. This is a great movie, and he did a great job! What a shame he's gone.
soooo sad. i am so sad.
oh man i loved this guy!
A Knights Tale was like my favorite movie=(
Re: who cares – Get off of this site NOW!!! How dare you insult the dead! Why are you here if you dont care?
Freemasons killed him.
Brokeback Mountain = broken financial system thats falling before your eyes.
The JOKES on you… sheep.
This is so sad. He was such a great actor and so gorgeous. He has a little girl, it's so sad
may he rest in peace
RIP.
He was such an attractive man. And a wonderful actor. He will be missed. ='(
Yeah, I can only imagine the pain of his family. I think people need to stop speculating about how he died, give it two weeks, and then we can all talk about it.
All of the gossip I'm sure is causing his family more pain.
This is so sad and tragic, RIP Heath
Bonjour,
I am not surprised from the results because if they only fund sleeping pills in his system now they have to figure out if it was a suicide or a bad mixing sleeping pills. If you body is drained and exhausted the combo can be explosive your body would not resist and just collapse. I am not a fan and I am not trying to defend anybody and maybe he was a drug user but if was a suicide why do you schedule a massage appointment????
Love and care from Paris France
God this is just so sad he was such a great person we will be missed very much he was so young and just finished a movie why does this have to happen to the good ones.
RIP
It saddens me to learn of the death of this brilliant young actor. Regardless of the way he passed on, his character roles in The Patriot and Brokeback Mountain will continue to let us remember what a versatile young man he really was. Perez, you are reporting his death as a million other people are doing right now..there is no shame in doing that…we will be besieged with updates on Heath Ledger's death until the moment he is in the ground and most likely for months after. Instead of using profane language, showing what class you people have yourselves, why don't you stop, take a moment and say a prayer for Heath and his family. If you've ever lost anyone close to you, you know that this is a hard time for all. Heath, being young, and father of a young daughter who will never know him, makes it all that much worse.
I hope this wraps up soon, so the family can get some closure.
first time commenting on this blog … nothing worth comenting about, i.e. Britney … but Heat Ledger is worth a thought from me … as a gay man his courage to defy Hollyowod and portray a leading gay characater was beyond COURAGEOUS … if only more people were like him and supported the gay community.
Aww : ( I MISS HIM!!!! I love perez
Re: who cares – you know, everybody in this world has a family and people that care about them. i honestly don't know how someone could be so low as to say who cares that someone died. Don't worry about losers like these people who are too selfish to see the real world before their very eyes. there are alot of people i don't like but i wouldn't wish anyone dead. shit like that shouldn't be published. imagine how his family feels right now. imagine someone that you love dies, would you be hurt if someone made that kind of comment. celebrity or not…. get a life and get over yourself. i widsh i knew who wrote that cause i'd give a them a personal calling down! may god keep watch over your soul Heath Ledger!!!
Rent the movie CANDY!!!!!!!!
SAD, WHAT HAPPENED TO HEATH. I HAVE NOT SEEN HIS FILMS, BUT I KNEW WHO HE WAS. JANUARY 2008 IS SURE A BUSY MONTH FOR HOLLYWOOD AND NEW YORK STARS DYING AT YOUNG AGES. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WAS LOOKING FOR BRITNEY, LINDSAY, OR PARIS DYING YOUNG. WELL THEY WERE LOOKING IN THE WRONG PLACE. I FEEL SO BAD FOR HEATH'S FAMILY ESPECIALLY THE 2 YEAR HE LEFT BEHIND. SHE WILL MISS HER DADDY. HEATH PROBABLY JUST NEEDED SOME REST AND TOOK WAY TO MANY SLEEPING PILLS. JET LAG, SLEEP DEPRIVATION, FATIGUE AND PNUEMONIA WILL DO THAT FOR YOU. I JUST WISH THAT SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR HIM AND ALSO THAT OTHER HOLLYWOOD STAR, BRAD RENFRO.
AMY, BRITNEY, LINDSAY, AND PARIS YOU ALL NEED TO WAKE UP AND STOP BEING SELF DESTRUCTIVE.
Everyone needs to remember his family, friends and co-workers are all in a state of shock and need their privacy to grieve. I am disgusted about all these assumptions about the way he passed. Let the medical examiners do their job and determine the cause. All the negativity just adds to horror of untimely death of such a young, beautiful talented man. We should all be silent about the cause until it has been revealed. My heart and love goess out to his family, especially dear sweet Matilda. RIP Heath
What a great black and white photo of Heath Ledger! Thanks for sharing it.
Re: josie – #44 I love A Knight Tales too. I will find it hard to reach into my collection of his movies and watch it again knowing that he is no longer with us. I feel bad that he is gone but find some comfort in hoping that if it was his time to go that it was an accident and not that he was depressed or suffering silently and that he couldn't handle it anymore. His life was good, his daughter beautiful and so much loved and his was doing what he loved to do. I pray he went in peace. Rest in Peace Heath.
So two more weeks of the media whoring out themselves for stories. Trying to keep that fire burning….
I feel sorry for his family and relatives. I would have ended up punching a "reporter" over this had I been a close relative.
Thanks Perez; this "news" has been out for hours now!! Stop promoting your show pony Paris and give us some real gossip!
Re: who cares –
GO AND FUCK YOURSELF YOU ASSHOLE, have some fucking respect.
I can't believe that he's dead! It doesn't seem real at all! I really liked him and it was a sure thing that he was gonna be huge in 2008, but it wasn't meant to be…it's so depressing and sad
And all those people being idiots about it just don't read the posts if they bother you so much!!!! Just scroll down to Britney's same old news!!!
Re: who cares – Too bad you aren't!!
Very sad, very heart breaking and very hard to believe. My heart goes out to his family and friends. The most special people always die young. I hope people can respect his family and let the grieve in peace. RIP Heath.
I knew something was up with Heath, he had been looking horrible for months and his face had even taken on a drug look like a (meth) addict or something. It probably was an overdose, his reps don't want suicide cause life insurance doesn't pay on suicide. Michelle prob left cause the drug use…. he chose drugs over his family, A mag article in November quoted him as saying he was ready to die and live on in his child.
is it true that he was dating gemma ward???
Sooooooooo Sad!!! Poor thing, let him R.I.P.
What happened to your "sources" who are talking exclusively to you? Everything you posted in the past two days has been taken off other websites, and posted an hour later. Anybody can do that.
Heath I love you(K)
Perez i love you comments on Britney;)
We don't have that in holland
Rumor has it that Heath was found in Mary Kate Olsons SOHO Apt? This was confirmed by PR from Mary Kate & Heath?? What is going on!!! Perez get the gossip!!!
Sad…great actor…magnificent work… may your soul rest Heath…
Re: mimi – He gave up the hard drugs when he found out he was going to be a dad, please go back and confirm your info before throwing accusations like that around.
Perez, thanks for the beautiful picture of dear Heath. I think it should be noted that whether Heath personally leased the apartment from Mary-Kate or through a Leasing Agent, he may not have known who actually owned the apartment as stated in this morning's article. Mary-Kate may have been leasing the fashionable Soho apartment (wasn't it the same loft used in Ghost?), but she didn't necessarily have anything to do with Heath's sublease. She may not have even known that Heath was the current tennant even if she did own the apartment because her "people" would have handled the financial arrangements of the lease. I wish fans would just focus on the sad reality that another young, talented person has slipped into the arms of Necrosis. The preliminary autopsy report is almost a cut-n-paste job at this point….Someone simply fills in the general information: name, date, etc. We'll have to wait until the toxicology report before we know how this tragedy occurred. Let's not jump to conclusions such as similarities between Brandon Lee, Janice Joplin, Jim Morrison, Anna Nicole, Marilyn Monroe, etc. As far as we know, other than anorexia, Mary-Kate did not have any addictions like Anna Nicole with her Methadone, etc.
