Relatives of Heath Ledger are expected to arrive in New York Friday in preparation for his funeral, CNN reported.

Ledger's body was taken to the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home in Manhattan Wednesday, the mortuary confirmed to CNN.

A private viewing will take place Friday.

The funeral arrangements have not been made public.

The 28-year-old actor, star of "Brokeback Mountain" and the upcoming "Dark Knight," died Tuesday afternoon.

An autopsy Wednesday morning was inconclusive, and a cause-of-death determination will take 10 to 14 days, a medical examiner's spokeswoman said.

"There were no illegal drugs found" in the apartment, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said Wednesday.

Two law enforcement officials who asked not to be named said six types of prescription drugs, including an antihistamine and pills to treat anxiety and insomnia, were found in the apartment, according to the Associated Press.
