Heath Ledger Died Of A Drug Induced Heart Attack

January 22, 2008

Ledger apparently had been ill with pneumonia for some time, and suffered a fatal heart attack due to the combination. Heath Ledger’s family have denied initial reports of suicide and reports of other mysteries surrounding the death. Ledger has been clean for a year, following substance abuse and drug addiction in the past. His ex-wife, actress Michelle Williams, is flying to New York with their 2 year old daughter, Matilda Rose.

At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play and said they found pills near body.
