         Sources tell me that the autopsy on Heath Ledger came up inconclusive. Authorities say that it will take nearly 10 days to determine a definitive cause of death. Fans have been remembering the talented star by leaving flowers and candles outside his Manhattan apartment.

        The Aussie native was found dead Tuesday by his housekeeper and a massage therapist. According to sources he was lying naked and face-down on the floor at the foot of his bed. Many different prescription drugs were found in Ledger’s apartment and a mysterious rolled up $20 dollar bill was also found close to his body. However, Police didn’t manage to find any illegal substiences in the apartment… I dunno?!!… kinda sounds like a accidental coke-a-cola overdose to me… I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the toxicology results reveal….
