Heath Ledger - the grieving thread

I just don't think the forensic experts or whoever does those tests and/or announces the results to the public would take the risk involved in creating a fake report.

I don't think they'd create a fake report. I just think they'd lie to the public about the contents of the report.

Heath's alleged substance abuse, which may or may not have contributed to his death, need not change the way any of us feel about him. I don't think the choice of using and abusing illicit drugs, and the addiction that often results from such a choice, in and of itself makes someone a "bad" person.
I also feel that this case is too high-profile to allow an extended and deliberate cover-up of the truth, assuming that the truth involves drugs, illegal or otherwise

The report is public information, part of the police file. Anyone can look at it. So if they were going to lie, they'd have to back it up with a fake.

I completely agree.

I agree with Fran and Katherine here. I don't think they would be able to keep things covered for long, therefore they won't try.

As to whether the scene was "cleaned up" before the paramedics arrived is anybody's guess.

--- Quote ---True. But if they'd cleaned off the $20 bill, they would have unrolled it.

Good logical thinking.

Maybe, maybe not.
The files are public records, but in Pennsylvania anyway, they're not that easy to get ahold of. I can't speak for New York, but, here again, I speak from the experience of my friend's death. It's not impossible, but I doubt that Intrepid Reporter Ineedcrayons ;) could just walk in off the street and be granted immediate access to the files.
Illegal substances or not, my opinion of Heath does not change, nor my sadness at his death.
