HEATH LEDGER DOCTORS PROBED BY FEDS
Two of late actor HEATH LEDGER’s doctors are under investigation by U.S.
authorities, to determine whether the prescription drugs that killed him were given to him illegally.
Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment on 22 January (08), aged just 28, after accidentally overdosing on powerful painkillers, anti-anxiety pills and sleeping pills - all of which had been prescribed to him.
A federal investigation into his death has centred on a doctor in California and another in Texas, who are believed to have supplied the Oscar-nominee with pain pills Oxycontin and Vicodin.
There has been no suggestion the doctors acted improperly - but officials hope to clear up any suggestion of illegal activity.
A source tells the New York Daily News, "It’s an ongoing investigation. It’s not clear if there is any wrongdoing."
