Sources intimately connected with the Heath Ledger investigation told TMZ website they believe Ledger died from a heart attack because of the small amount of drugs in his system.
"It's now appearing that the level of toxicity (from medication) in Ledger's system was low enough that it may not have caused his death. These sources say Heath's heart stopped," TMZ website reported.
Police are also questioning the housekeeper's claim she heard Ledger snoring when she walked in his bedroom as they believe he may have already been dead at that time, report TMZ.
Police are also rejecting reports that Mary Kate Olsen's bodyguards were called to the apartment to remove drugs before authorities arrived.
The Australian actor's death has even impacted the White House after being forced to postpone a President Bush event promoting an ad campaign aimed at preventing prescription drug abuse.
Ledger, 28, who was nominated for an Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain," was found dead Tuesday in his New York apartment. There were sleeping pills near him, but the cause of his death remains under investigation.
White House press secretary Dana Perino said they thought it would be better to postpone the event rather than run the risk of anyone thinking that we were being opportunistic in highlighting the issue," she said.
