Cape Town - Australian actor Heath Ledger may have died of natural causes, a celebrity gossip website reported on Sunday.
According to TMZ.com the level of toxicity (from medication) in the actor's system was low enough that it may not have caused his death.
Sources "intimately connected with the Heath Ledger investigation" have reportedly told TMZ that Heath's heart stopped.
"It could have been a heart attack but it's not certain, at least not yet. Although it's bizarre that a 28-year-old could die of natural causes, it happens."
No 'sinister plot'
TMZ also reported that authorities were annoyed at reports that there may have been a sinister plot to remove illegal drugs from Ledger's apartment before cops and firemen arrived.
"There are reports out there that the masseuse called Mary-Kate Olsen and a plot was hatched to have her bodyguard remove certain drugs.
Authorities tell us that's impossible, because the cops were there the entire time the bodyguard was present and there would have been no opportunity to carry out such a plan."
According to TMZ the masseuse called Olsen's bodyguard because she knew he was a licensed EMT (emergency medical technician).
