Two doctors have been ruled out of a federal investigation into who supplied later actor Heath Ledger with OxyContin and Vicodin, the New York Post reports.

However the pair from Los Angeles and Houston did provide Ledger — who died January 22 of an accidental prescription drug overdose of six prescriptions drugs — with other medications, but would not say which drugs.

Investigators are now on their way back from Los Angeles to New York, Access Hollywood reports, to continue determining where the Oxycontin and Vicodin came from.

A rep for the Drug Enforcement Administration told Usmagazine.com earlier this month that they were launching an investigation into how Ledger got the prescription drugs.

“We’re trying to educate that legal drugs – these prescription drugs – can be just as dangerous as more hardcore drugs when misused or abused," Steve Robertson, a special agent with the DEA, told Us at the time.
