$20 Dollar Bill Being Tested in Heath Ledger's Death

- An autopsy Wednesday morning on actor Heath Ledger was inconclusive, and a cause-of-death determination will take 10 to 14 days, a medical examiner's spokeswoman said...

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Wednesday that Ledger was found face down in a normal sleeping position and not at the foot of his bed, as had been previously reported.

Kelly said technicians collected a $20 bill found in the apartment for testing, because of the way it was folded.

I caught the press conference today by Police Commissioner Kelly who stated that no illegal drugs were discovered in the place where Heath was found dead. Kelly was reluctant to speculate on how Heath died, stating that more testing was necessary.
