| Heath Ledger's Relatives Arrive New York |
NEW YORK CITY, NY -- Heath Ledger's relatives are arriving from Australia Friday in preparation for his funeral. Ledger's body was taken to the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan Wednesday, and a private viewing will take place Friday. Funeral arrangements have not been made public. An autopsy Wednesday morning was inconclusive, and a cause-of-death determination will take 10 to 14 days, a medical examiner's spokeswoman said. "There were no illegal drugs found" in the apartment, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Wednesday. Sources say the police did find six types of prescription drugs, including an antihistamine and pills to treat anxiety and insomnia. Ledger's publicist claims the actor was suffering from the flu and had been prescribed antibiotics. Police Thursday said the masseuse who discovered Ledger's body called actress Mary-Kate Olsen - who Ledger reportedly had been dating on and off for a few months - three times before dialing 911. According to CNN: She shook Ledger, but he did not respond, so she used his cell phone to call Olsen in California, knowing Olsen was a friend of Ledger's, the source said. Wolozin told Olsen that Ledger was unconscious, according to the NYPD source. Olsen told her she would call private security people in New York. At 3:26 p.m., Wolozin called 911 and told authorities Ledger was not breathing. While on the phone with dispatchers, Wolozin tried to perform CPR on Ledger, but he was unresponsive. Emergency personnel arrived seven minutes later, according to the police source, at about the same time as a private security person summoned by Olsen. The medical technicians performed CPR on Ledger and used a cardiac defibrillator, but their efforts were in vain and he was pronounced dead at 3:36 p.m. By then, two other private security people summoned by Olsen had arrived, as well as police." Ledger's former fiancee, actress Michelle Williams, returned with their 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, to her Brooklyn home Wednesday night. She has been filming a movie in Sweden.
