Heath Ledger's Funeral
Heath Ledger's father Kim was expected to arrive in New York City today (Friday) to finalize arrangements for the actor's funeral. Ledger's body is at New York's Campbell's Funeral Home, which handled the funerals of such celebrities as Rudolph Valentino, Judy Garland and Jackie Kennedy. But The Australian newspaper reports that Heath's body will be taken back to his native Perth, Australia for burial.
While toxicology reports, which should reveal the cause of Ledger's death, are still pending, questions were being raised about whether the masseuse who found his body wasted precious time calling Heath's friend Mary-Kate Olsen, whose number was reportedly on speed dial on his cellphone, for help more than 10 minutes before dialing 9-1-1.
