Heath Ledger Autopsy Results Inconclusive

The initial autopsy report on Heath Ledger is in, but the cause of death has not been able to be determined.

"The autopsy was inconclusive," New York City Medical Examiner spokeswoman Ellen Borakove told People.com. "We have to do further testing including toxicology and tissue testing. Neither cause of death or manner of death has been concluded. We expect additional results in 10 days to two weeks."

Further testing will show whether Heath died of natural causes (he reportedly was suffering from pneumonia) or if it was an overdose of some kind.
