Abcnews revealed The federal government is investigating the death of Heath Ledger.
An official for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration confirmed that an investigation is underway now that the New York Medical Examiner has released the results of Ledger’s toxicology test, which found the actor died from a combination of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine.
“This is a routine procedure when anybody overdoses,” DEA Public Affairs Section Chief Garrison Courtney told press. “We look at whether the controlled substances that were taken were legitimate, whether they were ordered under a false name and how they might have been purchased.”
For the DEA, Ledger's star status does not weigh in to the investigation.
“The fact that Heath Ledger is a celebrity does not make this investigation any different from a routine procedure in circumstances like this,” Courtney added.
It looks as if it is not easy for Heath Ledger to rest in peace just now.
