New York - TV celebrity news show Entertainment Tonight says it will not air a video it has acquired that shows the late Heath Ledger at a Hollywood party where drugs were apparently being taken.
The syndicated magazine's sister show, The Insider, aired a "preview" of the video on Wednesday that showed an unidentified man apparently snorting cocaine. The show said, however, that the video does not show Ledger doing drugs.
"Out of respect for Heath Ledger's family, Entertainment Tonight and The Insider have decided not to run the Heath Ledger video that has been circulating in the world media," said a posting on the websites on Thursday.
Ledger, 28, died in his Manhattan apartment on January 22. The cause of his death will not be known for at least a week, after medical examiners complete toxicology tests.
Authorities suspect a possible drug overdose, but nothing conclusive has been determined. Several prescription drugs were found in the Manhattan apartment where the Brokeback Mountain actor's body was found.
