Illegal Drugs Found In Ledger's Apartment!!! Not Just Pills!!!!!!
Filed under: Australiastic > Heath Ledger
His death may not have been a suicide, but drugs - not just sleeping pills - more likely than not also played a part in the untimely passing of Heath Ledger.
WCBS in New York is reporting that drug packets were found inside the actor's SoHo Apartment, as well as a $20 bill with narcotic residue.
Several drug packets containing an unknown substance were found listed on the official police report from the scene.
It is possible that these items didn't belong to Ledger or that he didn't ingest them on the day of his death, but several reports have stated that Heath had been battling sobriety recently.
In addition to the unknown substances, several bottles of prescription meds were discovered in Ledger's apartment, including bottles of the prescription anxiety drugs Valium and Zoloft, along with the prescription sleeping medication Ambien.
This might be another Anna Nicole Smith.
Kids, drugs and abusing prescription meds are bad. Don't do them! BUT, if you are, and you shouldn't, then don't mix them!!!

Re: doi – awwwwww well aint you special. Being rich does not change dpression and other issues which by the way sanctimonious nasty are AS REAL as cancer. Apparently by your post, your biggest concern MUST be money because you think that solves it all. It doesnt.
I think it is so hillarious that some people take the time to go to Perez's website, read his info, then leave him nasty comments! Don't be jealous because Perez is the MAN and he gets the good gossip and YOU DON'T!! U people seriously need to find something else to do with your time! Love Ya Perez!
RIP Heath 
DRUGGIES DESERVER DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, screw you. Don't compare this to an Anna Nicole Smith thing.
That's pretty shitty.
WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN BRITNEY OR LINDSAY OR SOME OTHER CELEBUTARD….HEATH'S DEATH IS SUCH A WASTE.
I can't believe he's dead.
dude..zoloft is an antidepressants…he obviously suffered from depression and or anxiety…valium is strictly for anxiety because it has a sedative effect..he suffered from issues like the rest of the american population…just leave him be. RIP Heath
you were so hott babayy.
r.i.p
Yeah, Kids, don't do drugs…
Now, why do adults feel the need to take drugs?
The insanity of the movie/tv business we all like to read about and laugh about?
Perez…
"In addition to the unknown substances, several bottles of prescription meds were discovered in Ledger's apartment, including bottles of the prescription anxiety drugs Valium and Zoloft, along with the prescription sleeping medication Ambien."
Shut the f up. You gossip'ing lil gay fuck.
FUCK YOU for the comment about being another Anna Nicole. There is absolutely no comparison.
My heart goes out to Heath's family.
Your life must be in such turmoil at all times for you to profit and glory in other people's pain. The wheel you spin keeps turning - it will come back around one day.
Perez I was just wondering if you feel bad for giving Heath the fugly award or whatever it was on your What Perez Sez about 2007 special. I know there was no way for you to know that Heath would die shortly after that and I'm not judging you for it. I'm just wondering if you still feel that he deserves the fugly award or if you feel differently now.
What a horrible day..
do not call this another "anna nicole smith".. i mean really. who in their right mind would compare classy heath ledger to trashy annie nicole smith. sorry, but there is no comparison.
I agree– you really need to show some respect, not like OH! drugs! OH! he was a good actor & your obvy speculating. it's totally disrespectful to go about this in this way. he was private in life & im sure he'd want to be private in death.
Why are you reporting on this?
I love what you do and this site but you're reminding me of "Extra" or "Entertainment Tonight." Just let things be till you get the real facts. All of this speculation and fake news breaking is hurtful to the people who just lost their son, friend, brother and now father. Come on Perez- you're better than all the rest of the IN YOUR FACE media.
STOP SPECULATING! Just wait for the damn autopsy report. Isn't this exactly what the family asked people not to do? Have some respect Perez.
Hey fat a$$(perez)~Hopefully we will find you dead next you piece of shit. Aren't you gays suppose to have some class and respect at least?? i guess not…. a$$hole
YOU ARE SUCH A LOSER MAN! LIKE IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOURE POSTING AT THIS SENSITIVE TIME, YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE DOUCHEBAG…ENOUGH IS ENOUGH YOU MIS-MATCHING FAT BLOB.
-AARON
so sad.Heroin i would guess.to bad,he was a great actor.damn drugs.people killing themselves.such a waste of a life.
Rest in peace Heath. And Perez, here's an idea, why not wait until the autopsy and the toxicology reports come out before you start your speculation about how he passed away. You are not qualified to be an investigative reporter by any means… Just stick to what you know like who is wearing what, who looks old and haggard, and what Britney is doing.
People what is so suprising about this? This is what goes on in Hollywood these days with these over paid untalented people. All they do is make money and spend time off taking drugs all day and getting high. It's only when they run out of money do they need to go back to work to get more money to buy more drugs. This death is not sad is part and parcel of what does on in Hollywood these days.
I understand that you have a job to do, which involves gossiping and making a story. This already is a story, please think of his mother. his father. his young daughter. Have a heart. Don't post articles with an obscene amount of exclamation points when a man has just passed away. What if it were your brother? Or a family member of yours? Ask yourself what is more important: making a buck, or respecting and appreciating a very short lived life. I hope it's the latter, but if it's the former, than I truly hope your life is not cut off short and you become a sensational news story.
There is no proof that illegal drugs were found! Again speculating with out any facts. just making stuff up to have people come to this site.Pretty sad and dangerous to do that. Keep it up fat boy. Keep it up
Perez obviously isn't doing crystal. Look at him. Crystal users typically lose weight, they don't continually gain massive amounts.
This article is really disgusting. This man is dead and for whatever reason, it's a tragedy. Have a bit of respect.
Can not compare Heath Ledger with Brandon Lee because Lee did not abuse drugs but was killed by a poorly cleaned gun barrell from a gun that was suppose to be shooting blanks only.
How long did Heath Ledger have drug addiction issues? Since Broke Back Mountain or birth of his child?
it´s very very sad
I loved casanova, brokeback, the patriot ;_;
Oh Waaaaaah, I am drowning in pussy and money, someone throw me a lifeline. I can't handle life waaaaaaaah, fuck that fuckin fucker!
That sounds right. Did you hear Jack Nickelson say… "I warned him?" Hmmmm, it would explain his paleness, stringy hair and just not heathly looking lately. Pill poppers need serious help. You can abuse them and pass regular drug test because it is "prescription" It is VERY sad.
zoloft=antidepressant
valium=legal sedative for anxiety
…big deal? everyone else in america takes these for emotional problems too?
…..leave him be.
*RIP Health*
I think it's going a little too far to compare him to anna nicole smith! Give me a break! And have some sticken respect for a change. Oh wait, I forgot, Perez Hilton can do no wrong he just sits on his fat ass and judges everyone one else.
Perez is here to tell us what's going on.
Stop insulting him, that's not making anything better. Seriously.
Re: doi – AMEN to that!!! I hate these overpaid, mostly undertalented jerks who we make "celebrities" out of! If being famous is so great..why are they mostly all junkies with mental problems????
YOU SERIOUSLY DISGUST ME PEREZ.. I HAVE READ THIS SITE ALMOST EVERYDAY FOR THE PAST YEAR BUT I DON'T THINK I'LL BE COMING BACK.. SHOW SOME FUCKING RESPECT FOR THIS MAN, HE WAS A BRILLIANT, TALENTED, A LOVING MAN AND NO MATTER HOW HE DIED HE DESERVES RESPECT AND YOU ARE EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL.. I HOPE WHEN YOU DIE SOMEONE SHOWS YOU THE AMOUNT OF RESPECT THAT YOU SHOW THE DECEASED
¡Por Dios! Sería bueno que aprendieras un poco de español antes de escribir las pelotudeces que escribes. Realmente te detesto.
Re: Bruce –
Everything is relative, Bruce. Money doesn't = happiness.
i normally enjoy your site but you are being insensative. heath ledger never caused drama in hollywood and you should respect his memory instead of writing slander. shame on you.
Perez. Making fun of living celebrities is fair game. However, you must honor and respect the privacy any person who recently passed on and their family.
It is despicable of you to speculate or allege the cause of his death. This is a sad time for Heath Ledger's family. Posting speculations of Heath Ledger's death even if you are quoting another source is unclassy and disturbing. Even if you find out in the next couple of weeks the cause of his death, you should simply pay your respects and wish his family condolences. His family is in mourning and you should respect that; they are imploring the media to respect HL and them. Heath Ledger is a private individual unlike Anna Nicole. Please stop posting trivial information about HL and simply pay your respects.
I am done with your website. Your posting regarding HL is troubling. You have no sense of decency at all.
Re: Fernanda Encinas –
um, I really doubt that heath wants to be known as "that hot guy who died"
he was a brilliant young actor.
Stop being such a selfish bitch.
Re: LILI –
YOU GO GIRL! Nicely said…
BUT- if there were some illegal stuff mixed in, that could be bad news…
Def. makes me watch my intake!
How upsetting.. he was such an amazing actor. Horrible for his daughter.
RIP
STOP FUCKING SPECULATING PEREZ!
You should be more concerned with the negative press you are putting into posterity for his little girl to read in a couple years - not on making a scoop! Trust me hon, if there is to be an exclusive revelation of any kind I can guaran-fucking-tee you the info is going to go to the highest network or print buyer - not some washed up queen with a website!
HAVE SOME FUCKING RESPECT & THINK BEFORE YOU DRAG A DEAD MAN'S NAME AND LEGACY THROW THE GUTTER!
This is not another Anna Nicole Smith. We're talking about a very respected actor as opposed to a fucking blond train wreck. Any comparison is insulting the memory of Heath Ledger.
Depression is a disease.
Princess Diana, Kurt Cobian, Sylvia Plath, Picasso, and billions of other people have suffered it.
*instead of criticizing, enlighten yourself.
**If someone DOES indeed take drugs, it's a deeper issue. Most likely it means they are trying to self medicate emotional pain.
***how about FOR ONCE, we try to understand this but these peoples' points of view instead of crititcizing them.
***HAVE SOME EMPATHY! some of you people are are heartless and cold. JUST like sociopaths. which means you suffer from problems yourself.
Je ne t'oublierai jamais. Tu fût l'un des meilleurs acteurs de ta génération. Tu vas manquer au cinéma.
come on perez, show some class. Leave the poor guy alone. He's dead, he leaves behind a grieving family, not to mention a beautiful lil girl who will never know her dad. Give them some privacy and some respect.

I think I've had about enough of all the reports coming in that Heath Ledger was a drug user…
isn't possible that his passing was due to a mixture of prescription sleeping pills and over
the counter sleeping pills? It was already reported that he was having problems sleeping
and that one dose of sleeping pills did not have the desire effect. It is quite possible
that he took way too many of them and he overdose???. Haven't you people ever had
problems sleeping? I know I do. There are times when my brain keeps going and I toss and turn
and no matter what I do I only manage to get 2 hours of sleep. Think about how traumatic it is
for an actor like Hath Ledger to travel back and forth all over the place, a few hours of sleep here
and there and no rest. He was a brilliant actor and was in demand. It is very possible that
he was stressed out and really needed that 8 hour sleep. The fact that the autopsy was inconclusive
doesn't mean that he was hooked on drugs. Let's wait and see what they find first and then we
can all make a comment.
Helena Christensen, Heat's last "friend" was girlfriend of another australian star: Michael Hutchence (Inxs)… Michael passed away in 1997, and he didint kill himself either. Coincidence?…
DUMB ASS PEREZ… I BET YOU'RE NEGATIVE BULLSHIT ON HERE AND ALL THESE OTHER SIMILAR SITES LED HIM TO THIS OVERDOSE…
Oh please everyone does drugs get over it.
Fred Phelps has posted that they will picket his funeral.. This makes me absolutely sick.. I do not understand how people could be so cruel.
I can't grasp that he is dead, I feel so much empathy for his family. He was a beautiful, and still is a beautiful human with promising talent, I am sorry his baby won't be able to grow up with him, but I completely believe he didn't meant to die, he was stripped down, with an appointment just minutes before he was found dead. Such amazing talent is gone again, he brought lots of smiles and hope and I wish he would get the true respect he deserves, may his fragile soul finally be rested and at ease. perez, I admire and thank you for telling "us" info. But now that its clear, let his family rest and greive, poor babies, just imagine, you wouldn't be able to get out of bed. My wishes are with them and I know his baby will grow up beautifully, I hope michelle is doing okay, my love goes out to all of them, bless him and his family so much.
The dude was a drug addict.What the hell was he taking all this dope for and Od'ing? Guess ya didnt give a crap about your kid you left fatherless..tsk! Shoulda quit the drugs!
The story here is ambien and why it should be taken off the market. Once you take it, you black out for 30 minutes and don't remember what you did. I ate meals, and did some other stuff I don't remember. Ambien alone is enough to cause an accidental overdose due to the fact that you remember nothing that you did. Beware of ambien…
This is so sad, when i heard this, i couldnt even believe it. Although I didnt know him personally, he seemed like a really great guy, and it sucks that his life had to end this way.
Leave him and his poor grieving family alone!!
cant belive hes dead.. its just impossible !! cannot belibe it ! miss him so much : (
1st?
Prescription drugs are bad. There are too many doctors prescribing these medications when they shouldn't, to make money from the pharmutical companies.
And the combination of more than one taken at a time can be deadly.
HEY BRUCE #151
EDUCATION YOUR RED NECK ASS AND ENLIGHTEN YOUR EMPTY ASS BRAIN. DERESSION IS A DISEASE.
HEY BRUCE #151
EDUCATION YOUR RED NECK ASS AND ENLIGHTEN YOUR EMPTY ASS BRAIN. DEPRESSION IS A DISEASE. DUMB AMERICAN GO TO SCHOOL!
Have some respect,perezhilton.com~the man is dead and whatever happened this is not the time for speculation and insensitive articles like this one! He was probably troubled as are a lot of people~he had a daughter and a career if nothing else~this was probably just a tragic accident, and it is just that, TRAGIC! Why should his family have to be subjected to such horrid reporting?
HEY BRUCE #151
EDUCATION YOUR RED NECK ASS AND ENLIGHTEN YOUR EMPTY ASS BRAIN. DEPRESSION IS A DISEASE. DUMB AMERICAN GO TO SCHOOL!
I don't think anyone should jump to any conclusions just yet. Just because you take Zoloft and Valuim doesn't mean that points to overdose or suicide. These pills help treat cases of depression and anxiety. My partner takes them and is perfectly fine. However if he had taken something like an "herbal " sleeping pill that could have very well induced a bad reaction as these are one of the many warning's with prescription pills. I'm actually very upset with the way you are reporting on this Perez. This was a man who didn't make his living wanting to be on your blog or in tabloids. Rather than just add more fuel and fire we should just let the NYPD do their job and then post whatever the conclusions are not what the Media thinks. I mean the poor guy just died yesterday. Have a little compassion from time to time.
Pretty much all bills $20+ have drug residue on them.
Mixing pills and drugs. shocker.
Thank god his kid wasnt with him.
Oh yeah advise on drugs from the CRYSTAL METH QUEEN HERSELF. Dude who fuckin died and made u the innocent man.
absolute tragedy anna nichole died around the same time in similar suspcious circumstances what is it about january? what is it about hollywood? - i just feel so sorry for matilda michelle and his family im sure jake will be grief striken also as he was a close friendand he is god father to that girl -so sad.
Re: PEREZ PARTIES ALL NIGHT WHILE TWEAKED – If there's any truth to this, Perez, please call me (LOL!). Seriously, why is it that once someone, who is simply following his bliss - i.e. creating the most successful gossip blog in the history of the entertainment world - immediately accused of being messed up on chemicals? Perez is just doing his thang and doing it well (+/-).
every $20 bill has narcotic residue! perez do your research. grave digger.
Ya know… for all the crazy britney stuff, I think it's fine, but this young man IS DEAD. Just because someone else reported it doesn't mean its true and it doesn't mean you have to mention it. If you want to be considered differently than the Star, Enquirer, etc. then you should stay out of the gutter with this stuff. To report he's dead and public reaction is classy. To get into the tabloid, gossipy shit is not.
When you have a child it's no longer about you. These celebrities shouldn't make families if all they care about is drugs and death.
perez i love you but have some respect you bitch , rip heath x x x
It's so sad that Heath Ledger has died at such a young age. He was such a talented actor too. My condolences go out to his family and little girl. It won't be the same to see him in his new movie; it'll actually be sort of sad for me. And Perez, you should not speculate on what the cause of death was. No one knows for sure what the cause was, except for those who at the scene when it happened. Let the man rest in peace. Celebrities seem to get no peace until they ARE dead and it's so sad and completely unnecessary.
Geez Perez, at least wait until the toxicology reports are back before you start ripping his memory apart.
RIP Heath, with or without drug problems, you'll always be remembered as a great actor. We'll miss you.
I'm sure Naomi Watts is probably just as devastated. Even though she's with Liev, she and Heath were together for a LONG time as well. It's just tragic…
Come on! Let him rest in peace…
Perez, you suck…I can't even believe what you are trying to turn this into. Anna Nicole Smith, really retard, she was a whacked out junkie forever, and pimped the hell out of herself. Your slinging mud at a guy who obviously tried to avoid that sick limelight. How dare your ignorant ass try to draw a connection between these two people. Low, for real.
Re: friend – renminds me more of river pheniox especiallyas they both did seminal gay movies.
This is horrible reporting! The man has been gone less than 24 hours and theres all this speculation and insensitive articles like this! He was probably troubled, but he had a daughter and a career and talent if nothing else~this was probably just a TRAGIC accident. Why should his family be subjected to this sh*t writing when they have enough to deal with? Show some RESPECT, perezhilton.com! THis is such a sad thing, what a shock, no matter HOW it happened!!
That is abit rude to assume anything right now….it is very sad and give the family a break…I love reading your stuff…but you are jumping the gun abit.

DON'T MIX PRESCRIPTION PILLS WITH NARCOTICS, (STREET DRUGS, YOU DUMB SHITS) EITHER. MIXING ALCOHOL WITH ANY DRUG, EVEN OVER THE COUNTER, WILL KILL YOU JUST AS FAST.***********************************************

SO, WHAT PEREZ MEANS TO TELL YOU, IS DON'T BE LIKE HIM OR ANY OF HIS FRIENDS. DOING DRUGS IS BAD ENOUGH, MIXING THEM IS EVEN WORSE. ***************************************************************************************************************************(O)^(O)
Re: Edwin – I just got chills!! I knew it reminded me of something!! holy shit Batman!
why do you tell me I'm writing too much when some of these jerks can post their dissertations of dislike toward you?
Re: arp – 2nd!
Re: Kellie – I agree
Denise is an idiot. But that's not the point of this comment.
He was working long hours and sleep deprived. I don't blame him for turning to drugs. So what if he did? It doesn't make him less of a person. He was in a shitty place and needed help. I read some bible thumping twit's comment on yahoo.com jumping to conclusions saying it was suicide and that it's a sin and he's horrible. But anyhow, no matter what his death is ruled as, it's still a tragic loss. People should judge less and just empathize/sympathize more instead of getting their hate/speculation on.
Re: Edwin –
YES I THOUGHT ABOUT THE SAME THING. BRANDON SCOTT LEE OF THE CROW. NOT A COINCIDENSE. HEATH SAID THAT THIS ROLE WAS MESSING WITH HIS MENTAL STATE.
this is awful he was one of my fantasy !!!!
my feelings are for the family and friends hope they can overcome this barrier its just so sad.
Re: laura – Laura, you are hilarious! And really, this "first" thing IS retarded.
HOW CAN YOU COMPARE HIM TO ANNA NICOLE SMITH?! ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS?
YOU JUST LOVE IT WHEN THINGS BECOME SORDID, DON'T YOU. FUCK OFF…HE HAD MORE TALENT THAN MOST OF THOSE WHO GOT OSCAR NODS YESTERDAY. GIMME A FUCKING BREAK….
IT MAY BE ALL FUN AND GAMES FOR YOU, BUT FOR SOME OF US, WE'RE REALLY MOURNING HIS PASSING AND THE EXTREME LOSS OF A HUGE TALENT.
I understand that this site is about celebrity and gossip but there has to be a line somewhere.
For just one moment, imagine it was one of your family members or friends. Not only are you dealing with the heartbreak but also the rumors that are started on pages like this. Even if this is the truth - why do we have any right to know it? This is not our business; this is a tragedy for a family and the public needs to leave them to their grieving.
Show just a little bit of respect.
I'm so disgusted how can you dare compare Heath to Ana! That's insane! I don't beleive it!
Alright already, give the family some peace. We won't know for weeks what the tox says and if this even played a roll in his death. This is very sad and he was very talented. He's already got the anti-fag crowd swarming his body like vultures. Why add to it? Think of his kid !
RIP Heath x
He was just 28years old..
He was a really great actor..
enough with the 'anna nicole smith' crap. every time something bad happens too someone… "ooo it's like anna nicole smith"…
what is up with the anna nicole obsession.. this has nothing to do with that.
unless he was found with bleached hair and giant breast implants and a couple a babies from diffrent dads. did he marry a rich old lady for her money???
seriously, why do you help in spreading these rumours? nothing has been confirmed.
he was one of the last genuinely nice men left in hollywood, always polite and considerate. when i read that comment i lost all respect i had left for you. it has already been stated by the coroner that it was most an accidental overdose, with sleeping pills.
he was a brilliant actor, and it's a great pity. god rest his soul.
