Mystery Veils Heath Ledger’s Funeral Arrangements

Arangements for Heath Ledger’s funeral continue to be a secret, as his body was taken Friday from a Manhattan funeral home, the Chicago-Sun Times quoted Ledger’s publicist, Mara Buxbaum.

'' [The arrangement] will continue to be private at the family request, '' she said.

Ledger’s body was removed around 4 p.m. from Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home on the Upper East Side and was driven in a hearse.

Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said his government would do anything just to help Ledger’s family to bring their son’s body back home to Australia.

Meanwhile the police said they would not interview actress Mary-Kate Olsen, the first person the masseuze, who found the actor’s body in a Manhattan appartement Tuesday, called.

''Heath was a friend. His death is a tragic loss. My thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time,'' were the first words of the actress since Ledger’s death quoted by The Times.

According to police, the masseuze, named Diana Wolozin, made three calls to Olsen before dialing 911 for help, then called Olsen the fourth time after paramedics arrived.

"The detectives felt they had enough from the witnesses at the scene. The detectives made a determination that they had enough information. If they needed to interview, they might have done that," Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said, dismissing any controversy about what the police have found at Ledger’s appartment, Tuesday.

Meanwhile Ledger’s family wrote a notice for The West Ausralian, calling their son, "the most amazing 'old soul' in a young man's body." Ledger’s sister, Kate could hardly refrain her tears while writing her tribute to, as how she called him, "just my little brother" and the "ultimate" soul mate.

According to the New York City Medical Examiner spokesperson Ellen Borakove, the actor’s "autopsy was inconclusive. 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," she said quoted by People.

Prescription sleeping pills and anti-anxiety pills were found in bottles in Ledger’s bedroom and bathroom.
