The list of medications feared to have been taken by the 32-year-old star also includes pills for bi-polar disorder and anti-inflammatory treatment, according to a report on celebrity news website, TMZ.

Police investigating her death on Sunday from a heart attack are now expected to interview doctors who prescribed the tablets.

The actress was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after collapsing at her Hollywood Hills home.

The county coroner's office is awaiting the results of toxicology and tissue tests before releasing an official cause of death.

Her husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, spoke on Monday about his wife's death for the first time, saying: “My world was destroyed yesterday.”

The list of medications was included in a leaked report by investigators which said: “A check of the nightstands revealed large amounts of prescription medication in the decedent's name. Also noted were numerous empty prescription medication bottles in the husband's name, the mother's name and third party names."

The list included Carbamazepine, an anti-convulsant, Methylprednisolone, an anti-inflammatory treatment, Propranolol, a heart drug, Klonopin and Ativan, both anti-anxiety drugs, Topamax, an anti-seizure medication, the antibiotic Biaxin, pain reliever Vicoprofen, anti-deressant Fluoxetine and Hydrocodone, another pain killer.
