TMZ: Ledger Could Have Died Of Natural Causes

TMZ is reporting that actor Heath Ledger, who died earlier this week at the age of 28, might have died of natural causes and not from a drug overdose as was originally suspected.Reportedly investigators found six prescribed drugs in Ledger's room next to his body. The drugs were for anti-anxiety and sleep aids.According to TMZ, the supposed levels of toxicity from Ledger's drug cocktail would have been insufficient to kill him. Police on the scene also said that the bottles of the prescribed medications were all mostly nearly filled to capacity suggesting the actor couldn't have overdosed.At the time of his death, Ledger was said to have pneumonia. Also, TMZ is reporting that Ledger was possibly dead for several hours before his body was discovered around 3:30 in the afternoon. A housekeeper had said she heard the actor snoring in his room around 1 in the afternoon, but TMZ is quoting a fireman who arrived on the scene that Ledger's jaw clearly had rigor mortis.
