FEDS LOOK AT HEATH LEDGER’S DOCTORS


Two of Hollywood star Heath Ledger’s doctors are under investigation by authorities, to determine whether the prescription drugs that killed him were given to him illegally.Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment last month at just age 28, after overdosing on powerful painkillers, anti-anxiety pills and sleeping pills, all of which had been prescribed to him. A federal investigation into his un-timely death is being centered 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.”
