Plans to broadcast footage on US television of the late actor Heath Ledger allegedly at a drug-fuelled party in Hollywood have been pulled "out of respect for his family".
The footage is understood to have been shot two years ago following an awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
US celebrity programmes Entertainment Tonight and The Insider were due to broadcast the footage and had previously aired a promotional clip for the proposed screening.
Ledger is not shown taking drugs in the video.
In a statement Entertainment Tonight said: "Out of respect for Heath Ledger's family, Entertainment Tonight and The Insider have decided not to run the Heath Ledger video which has been circulating in the world media."
