Rolled Up $20 Bill Found in Heath's Apartment

"Extra" is learning new information that could shed light on Heath Ledger's tragic death.

Police say a rolled up $20 bill was found near his body, but no illegal drugs were found in his apartment. Police officials didn't elaborate on whether they think the bill was used to ingest drugs.

The NYPD released the new information today, the same day that an autopsy report on Heath's death came back inconclusive.

The bill will be taken to a lab for testing, but police said no visible drug residue was found on it.

Heath, 28, was found naked and face-down at the foot of his bed yesterday in Manhattan, with several bottles of sleeping pills nearby. His death has sent shockwaves through Hollywood, as friends and colleagues remember him a down-to-earth friend, a loving father and promising actor.

I do not want to grow up in the eyes of the public, rather I want to be gazed upon by my parents, my friends, their friends and my teachers. For they will not judge me, as does the unforgiving and judgmental public. They will not sensationalize my first steps, nor critique my falls.

Those who care about me will forgive my mistakes, guide me if I misstep, and support me when I fall.

The public on the other hand, will revel in my mistakes, criticize my missteps and celebrate when I fall.

There is a cost to being in the public eye, that for some reason, is lost in television shows like Accent Hollywood and Extra. They mire in minutia, revel and celebrate people like Brittany Spears, and when they drive her to suicide which will result because she is allowed no privacy, they will lament and speak of her greatness…….How foul this entertainment circus has become.

I just watched Carlos Diaz on Nancy Grace. Great job Carlos for sticking it to Nancy! Does she even listen to her show? Not sure what the comment observer above was listening to, but Carlos was quick to stick up for entertainers when one of Nancy’s people mentioned how odd it was that there was a phone call placed to Mary Kate Olsen when they found Heath unresponsive. There wasn’t anything odd or unnatural to what she did. There was no conspiracy to hide something. I applaud you Carlos for sticking up for Heath and sticking it Nancy. Seriously she is an idiot and a wanna be Jerry Springer!

I am a little disappointed with the staff at extra, I watch your show everyday because i believe in the truth. Iam disturbed by the drug and suicide accusations regarding your story on heaths death. i worked on the set of ten things i hate about you as an extra and enjoyed Heath very much. Heath had a wonderful sence of humor and was always up and cheerful. I will miss heath gratelly he is one hell of an actor and was very sincere. Iam asking that you PLEASE respect his family and especially his young daughter as they are mourning their loss. Please focus on that damn Brittney trash her all you want but RESPECT HEATH.
