Cause of Heath Ledger's death still uncertain after autopsy...
The cause of Heath Ledger's heart-breaking death is still not known but it seems clear that he did not try and kill himself, according to several news reports.
The medical examiner's office said Wednesday that an autopsy was inconclusive, and more tests are needed which includes toxicology and tissue testing. They expect to have results in about 10 days to two weeks.
Ledger was found by his housekeeper, who was trying to let him know that a masseuse had arrived for an appointment, police said. The housekeeper found him dead, face down and naked at 3:26 p.m.
Police sources said investigators found two bottles of sleeping and anti-anxiety pills at the apartment -- one prescription, one over the counter. The maid reported earlier she had heard Ledger snoring, police told WNBC.com.
They said an accidental overdose of prescription drugs remains a leading theory.
