How did Heath Ledger die? The short answer: It may take days to figure out. We do know a few things, however,

From The New York Times:

“The chief police spokesman, Paul J. Browne, said the police did not suspect foul play. . . Mr. Browne said no obvious indication of suicide, like a note, was found in the bedroom.

‘There was no indication of a disturbance,’ he said, adding that there were no signs that Mr. Ledger had been drinking. Nor were any illegal drugs found in the loft, which takes up the entire fourth floor. Neighbors said Mr. Ledger had occupied it for several months. Police officials said that a bottle of prescription sleeping pills was found on a nearby night table, but that they did not know whether the pills had anything to do with Mr. Ledger’s death. Officers who checked the apartment found other prescription medications in the bathroom. A spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office said an autopsy would be conducted on Wednesday.”
