The comment he made that he " couldn't stop thinking " sounds like B.J. when he

was taking Effexor XR. Poor kid. I liked him. I hoped he would turn out to be a

great actor.

Now of course, there's speculation about cocaine, so he'll go down in public

memory as another junked out Hollywood tragedy...

WCBS-TV: $20 Bill With Narcotic Residue On It Also Pulled From Scene

NEW YORK (CBS) New evidence has surfaced in the investigation into the sudden

and shocking death of -nominated actor Heath Ledger, who was found dead

inside his apartment on Tuesday afternoon.

Sources close to the investigation tell CBS station WCBS-TV in New York's

Investigative Reporter Weinberger that along with the prescription drugs

that were found in the apartment, police also recovered a $20 bill with narcotic

residue on it.

Sources add they also found several drug packets containing an unknown

substance. WCBS-TV has learned these items were all listed on the official

police report from the scene.

To be clear, it's still unknown whether these items belonged to Ledger or

whether he even actually ingested them.

WCBS-TV has contacted the NYPD for a response, but calls were not immediately

returned.

The news comes just hours after the medical examiner's office announced an

autopsy on Ledger was inconclusive, and more tests are needed, according to

Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the office.

Borakove said Wednesday that it will take about 10 days to complete the

investigation.

Authorities have contended since the beginning of the investigation that the

death of the 28-year-old Australian-born actor was caused by a possible drug

saying bottles of the prescription anxiety drugs Valium and Zoloft, along with

the prescription sleeping medication Ambien were all found inside Ledger's

$24,000 a month, three-bedroom loft in New York's City tony SoHo neighborhood.

Police confirmed that bottles of prescription drugs belonging to Ledger were

taken from the apartment.

Ledger was found naked and unresponsive by a housekeeper on Tuesday afternoon

while he was waiting for a masseuse. He was pronounced dead a short time later.

" We are all deeply saddened and shocked by this accident, " Ledger's publicist,

Mara Buxbaum, said in a statement Tuesday night. " This is an extremely difficult

time for his loved ones and we are asking the media to please respect the

family's privacy and avoid speculation until the facts are known. "

In the media circus now surrounding his death, many are talking about how moody

and depressed the -nominated actor seemed since September, after he moved

out of the Brooklyn home he shared with " Brokeback Mountain " co-star

. The two have a daughter together and were engaged to be married last

year.

Fans were floored by the news, with many of them showing up outside Ledger's

place in SoHo.

On the doorstep of his building, candles, flowers and notes from fans were

strewn about. One fan wrote, " How could anyone hate 10 things about you, " a

reference to one of his early teen movies.

" It's a wasted life sometimes, money, fame. There's something else people want

and unfortunately they can't tell us what it is, " said Lee Grossberg, one of

Ledger's neighbors.

In Ledger's last interview on Nov. 4 he told the New York Times he was having

trouble sleeping while filming his role as the " Joker " in an upcoming Batman

film, " The Dark Knight. " He said he had to take the prescription sleep aid

Ambien and that he " probably slept an average of two hours a night. I couldn't

stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going. "

News of the actor's death spread quickly. Police barricades went up as the

tragedy turned spectacle with hundreds of the people, gathering outside the

apartment in disbelief.

Most recently, Ledger was featured in the Bob Dylan biography film " I'm Not

There. "

Of the most well-known 15 films Ledger appeared in: " The Patriot, " " A Knight's

Tale, " and " Monster's Ball. " He was also nominated for a Golden Globe for his

role in " Brokeback Mountain. "

" I had such great hope for him, " said Mel Gibson, who played Ledger's vengeful

father in " The Patriot, " in a statement. " He was just taking off and to lose his

life at such a young age is a tragic loss. "

In 2001, People magazine named Ledger as one of its " 50 Most Beautiful People. "

According to a quote from Ledger listed on his profile on the Internet Movie

Database, the star enjoyed living life one day at a time.

" I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all, " he said. " I don't know

what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I

completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future. "

WCBS-TV has contacted the NYPD for a response, but calls were not immediately

returned.

The news comes just hours after the medical examiner's office announced an

autopsy on Ledger was inconclusive, and more tests are needed, according to

Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the office.

Borakove said Wednesday that it will take about 10 days to complete the

investigation.

Authorities have contended since the beginning of the investigation that the

death of the 28-year-old Australian-born actor was caused by a possible drug

overdose.

Police sources Wednesday offered strong evidence of that theory to WCBS-TV,

saying bottles of the prescription anxiety drugs Valium and Zoloft, along with

the prescription sleeping medication Ambien were all found inside Ledger's

$24,000 a month, three-bedroom loft in New York's City tony SoHo neighborhood.

Police confirmed that bottles of prescription drugs belonging to Ledger were

taken from the apartment.

Ledger was found naked and unresponsive by a housekeeper on Tuesday afternoon

while he was waiting for a masseuse. He was pronounced dead a short time later.

" We are all deeply saddened and shocked by this accident, " Ledger's publicist,

Mara Buxbaum, said in a statement Tuesday night. " This is an extremely difficult

time for his loved ones and we are asking the media to please respect the

family's privacy and avoid speculation until the facts are known. "

In the media circus now surrounding his death, many are talking about how moody

and depressed the -nominated actor seemed since September, after he moved

out of the Brooklyn home he shared with " Brokeback Mountain " co-star

. The two have a daughter together and were engaged to be married last

year.

Fans were floored by the news, with many of them showing up outside Ledger's

place in SoHo.

On the doorstep of his building, candles, flowers and notes from fans were

strewn about. One fan wrote, " How could anyone hate 10 things about you, " a

reference to one of his early teen movies.

" It's a wasted life sometimes, money, fame. There's something else people want

and unfortunately they can't tell us what it is, " said Lee Grossberg, one of

Ledger's neighbors.

In Ledger's last interview on Nov. 4 he told the New York Times he was having

trouble sleeping while filming his role as the " Joker " in an upcoming Batman

film, " The Dark Knight. " He said he had to take the prescription sleep aid

Ambien and that he " probably slept an average of two hours a night. I couldn't

stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going. "

News of the actor's death spread quickly. Police barricades went up as the

tragedy turned spectacle with hundreds of the people, gathering outside the

apartment in disbelief.

Most recently, Ledger was featured in the Bob Dylan biography film " I'm Not

There. "

Of the most well-known 15 films Ledger appeared in: " The Patriot, " " A Knight's

Tale, " and " Monster's Ball. " He was also nominated for a Golden Globe for his

role in " Brokeback Mountain. "

" I had such great hope for him, " said Mel Gibson, who played Ledger's vengeful

father in " The Patriot, " in a statement. " He was just taking off and to lose his

life at such a young age is a tragic loss. "

In 2001, People magazine named Ledger as one of its " 50 Most Beautiful People. "

According to a quote from Ledger listed on his profile on the Internet Movie

Database, the star enjoyed living life one day at a time.

" I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all, " he said. " I don't know

what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I

completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future. "

The comment he made that he " couldn't stop thinking " sounds like B.J. when he

was taking Effexor XR. Poor kid. I liked him. I hoped he would turn out to be a

great actor.

Now of course, there's speculation about cocaine, so he'll go down in public

memory as another junked out Hollywood tragedy...
