Federal authorities have cleared two physicians of offense in Heath Ledger's death, the New York Post reports.
A doctor in California and another in Texas were being investigated for possibly illegally supplying the late actor with the painkillers OxyContin and Vicodin, but after a set of interviews, the Drug Enforcement Agency have determined the two did not prescribe Heath the drugs. They did in fact meet with him though and prescribed him other medications.
