The actor was found dead in his Santa Monica condominium on January 24, 2006.
Although Penn had used multiple drugs in the past, an autopsy performed by a Los Angeles County Medical Examiner revealed the primary cause of death was "nonspecific cardiomyopathy" (heart disease), with the prescription drug promethazine with codeine playing a lesser role. Trace amounts of marijuana were found in his body.

At the time of his death, it appears there were several chemical substances in his system, both legal and not. Reports show he had traces of morphine, Valium, Promethazine (an antihistamine) and marijuana present, as well as an substantial presence of codiene.
This chemical cocktail, along with health problems the actor was already suffering, are what lead to what authorities are ruling an accidental death.

I believe it was his heart and not drugs like most people had thought.

I think it was by drug overdose.
