Police investigating the death of Heath Ledger have discovered a rolled-up $20 bill in his Soho apartment, which suggests the late actor had a substance abuse problem.
The “Dark Knight” star was found naked and unconscious in the bedroom of his Manhattan residence on Tuesday afternoon.
The $20 bill will now be tested for narcotics, although police said no drug residue was visible on it and refused to comment on speculation that the bill was used to snort cocaine.
An autopsy carried out on Wednesday failed to reveal how the “Brokeback Mountain” actor died, although police believe his death is drug-related as Xanax, Valium and Ambien were found throughout his home.
Officials will now have to wait for the results of a series of toxicology tests, which may provide further clues into what caused the 28-year-old’s death.
A spokesman for the medical examiner assigned to the case insists it may take up to 10 days to conclude their investigation.
Meanwhile, Heath’s body has been released to a New York Funeral home.
