Heath Ledger’s Death Was an Accident
Heath Ledger’s death has been ruled an accident and the result of the abuse of prescription medications, according to the medical examiner.
The toxicology report says Heath died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine.
The five different medications found in Heath’s apartment after his death included three anti-anxiety medications Alprazolam (Xanax), Diazepam (Valium) and Lorazepam (Ativan), the sleeping medication Zopiclone (Lunesta) and the sedative Temazepam (Restoril).

no, taking 6 of any pills isn’t dangerous. a close friend of mine had cancer and he had to take way more medication than that per day. it’s about how they react in your body.
Also, there was no suicide note found, which is uncommon considering he had a little girl. Nor were any of the drugs found anti-depressants.
ahahaha, sure inmomar, and you believe in everything you read? ah ok, good for you. we can never say the real cause. and now, leave heath alone.
that’s so sad…. I dont believe it was suicide… he loved his daughter so much… I only hope that his death alert people about the dangerous of prescripted drugs..
so sad :(
meamelia; It’s a toxicology report, so they have to say what he has taken. Of course they can’t be sure if he did take the them intently to o.d. , but I’m pretty sure if he really wanted to take his life he would have just chugged a bottle of pills. This report shows that i probably just had some serious problems sleeping and was desperately trying to find a way
He was a drug addict , Michelle left him for that, c’mon, i love Heath but i can’t say that he was a saint.
Oh and sure, drugs are also meds.
RIP H :(
People wake up, taking a large quantitative of pills and meds is a (indrect) suicide.
rip Heath,you will never be forgotten
it wasn’t a suicide!!!!!!!! IT’s not about taking 6 or 10….. pills but the mix of all these drugs is dangerous
i remenber when i was sick i had like 5 pills to talke almost 3 times a day
I AM STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’s just THE MIX of them that can be dangerous ESPECIALLY XANAX and VALIUM ………..
STOP SAYING IT IS A SUICIDE JUST TO GIVE MORE DRAMA TO THIS TRAGEDY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!it’s harf enoughhhhhhhh
he lived for his daughter ………
he was such a wonderfull human being
RIP HEATH LOVE OVE LOVE LOVE YAAAAAAAA 4ever
any doctor should know what other things his patient has been prescribed. why didnt they just gave him more pills????
And why Heath was so desperate for sleeping??? Its sad, really really sad, at least we now know that he didnt kill himself.
U will be remembered Heath
RIP
It’s really really tragic.
Why had those doctors to give him so many medications ?
Have those doctors ever asked him what kind of medications he already took ?
All medications have side effects.
People should not take many medications if there’re other options.
If I were a member of his family I will find out with those doctors.
This will not be the last case…………………
Rest in Peace.
why did u want to sleep so desperately heath???
RIP, love to his family
Bye young man
i so agree with #17 and #19. why would somebody take so many different pills????
You will be remembered Heath, RIP, get the sleep you desperately wanted, and take care of your little Mathilda, and poor Michelle, be strong
RIP
i kind of agrre with #17 and #19, why would he take 6 different pills??????
Take care of your little Mathilda and his mother Michelle, poor girls
RIP
I always knew his death was an accident
I always knew his death was an accident. Somehow, I didn’t think he’d be selfish enough to leave a two-year-old girl grow up without her dad
i still believe it’s suicide..i study medicine..i won’t prescribe 6 diff pills at one time..he took it all..he was in pain..maybe depressed..
but, doesn’t mean i hate him…may he be in peace..
what a wanker. his stupidity has left a 2 year old girl fatherless. oh well.. one less junkie on the streets is always a good thing
No one’s mentioned that the day of his death was FULL MOON. Human organism reacts very strongly at full moon - even to small quantities of medicine. You take the same dozage, but the effect may be double! So I guess it was an accident. Rest in peace, good man!
sofiarocket: could u explain how does fullmoon interferes in the human body?? cause y dont get it, really
I knew it was an accident !!!
I do believe it was a accident.People dont know exact composition of pills they take.
Same like with painkillers, people take 3-4 different pills and than they are surprised with paracetamol overdose.
didi: what the F*** is wrong with u?
