A former attorney for Heath Ledger is suing over a $10 million life insurance policy he claims has gone unpaid since the actor’s death.

The lawsuit doesn’t mention Ledger or his daughter’s name. It states that it’s on behalf of a man who died of “accidental causes on January 22, 2008.” That’s the day Ledger was found dead of an apparent accidental prescription drug overdose.
