Update: Drug packets also found in Heath Ledger’s Apartment?

Published on January 23, 2008 at 1:48 PM

Update: Supposedly nearly 5 full pill bottles containing the anti-anxiety medications Alprazolam (Xanax), Diazepam (Valium) and Lorazepam (Ativan) were found in the apartment. The sleeping medication Zopiclone (Lunesta) and the sedative Temazepam (Restoril) — which is used by people with “debilitating insomnia” were also found.   All of the drugs were prescribed to Ledger. Also some reports are now saying the rolled up $20 bill was tested and found to be clean (no narcotics).
 

Sources close to the investigation have told CBS 2′s Investigative Reporter Scott Weinberger that along with the three prescription pill bottles that were found in Heath Ledger’s apartment, police also recovered a $20 bill with narcotic residue on it.
 
Sources add they also found several drug packets containing an unknown substance. CBS 2 has learned these items were all listed on the official police report from the scene.
It needs to be stressed that it’s unknown whether or not these items belonged to Heath or if he had ingested them. The packets were removed from Heath’s apartment, but they still need to be being tested, and until they have the results, they can’t say whether it was illegal drugs.
