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).

We don’t believe all what we read, but there is the toxicology report
And you, you are medium to assert that he had committed suicide! It’s so disrespectful!
Heath was happy, and turned much, loved his daughter, he would have nothing left
Respect Heath, his family
RIP

my first message is for lola
Didi : f*** and shut up!!!
Of course it may have 6 different medicines but several doctors; Heath said in an interview that medicines were not much effect because he slept only 2 hours per night.
He was taking medication to sleep because he was insomniac
and was tired of sleeping so little.
Taking several medications don’t want to commit suicide, that is not the number the problem is the mix, there was an interaction and it has not supported
He was in the process of turning, and he asked his masseuse to come the next day, when you want to commit suicide, there is no program a rdv
ONE MINUTE OF SILENCE FOR HEATH
i think the cruel comments should be REMOVED
#DIDI you make me sick
fyi lots people love their families but also commit suicide. why are you guys saying ‘oh he loved his daughter so he can’t have committed suicide’ what kind of insane logic is that?
thousands kill themselves everyday and have loved ones too. when youre depressed you live in a bubble and you can’t think straight and cant help being selfish and remain stuck in a viscious self-hating cycle until one day you decide it has to stop. while some commit suicide to make the pain stop, others reach out for help from friends/family and professionals
For this reason I tend to agree with others who are suggesting suicide. it makes sense. nobody can be that stupid to mix those drugs together unintentionally.
#56 ever heard of freedom of speech?
DIDI ever heard of fuc?ing CRUEL speech !!!!!!!shut the fu?k upppppppppp if you want to say C?AP just keep it for your SELF piece of sh?T
Those are all some serious drugs. Accidental, my foot.

lola: quite right. I don’t and never have done drugs but I have know guys who did. In some cases, they used prescription drugs, but would simply take a mixed handful of lots of them at once “to see what happens.” I would guess (only that) that Ledger did not intend to die, but rather hoped a lot of painkillers, etc., etc. taken at once would put him out for some time and give him some “rest”. This kind of carelessness is typical of people who habitually abuse drugs of all sorts. On the other hand, it is conceivable that he did it on purpose hoping to commit suicide for some arcane reason we can only guess about.
In fact, if he had wanted to drug himself to death would not a heroin overdose have been easier and faster and more “pleasant”? I imagine he could have gotten heroin if he had really wanted some.

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER YOU DONT MIX THOSE MEDS AND ABUSE THEM, AS IT SAID HE DID ABOVE….RIP HEATH..
an accident and abuse of drugs, wow
I don’t think one Dr. give him all those drugs, he probably got them from different ones. He needed Prescription Drug rehab.. poor man seemed extremely stressed.
RIP
Accidental or not, this is a tragedy!!! The poor guy must have had a hard time, otherwise he wouldn´t have felt the need for depressants and sleeping pills in the first place! So very sad, he was young and had a little daughter! I feel so sorry for his family, they must be devastated…..
Ledger’s father is quoted as saying: “”While no medications were taken in excess,…” Come on now, pops. Taking six different types of mood altering drugs at once is sure “excess”. You are trying to spin this thing to make it look as if Heath was innocent. No person in his right mind would take six mood altering drugs at once.
*Doctors are not stupid* to give those altogether to a person.
Even one of those meds mentioned have a time restraint of 4 to 6 hours. And even if you are given one of those mediction, you are given careful instruction not to mix them up with other meds or take too many at one time. That’s a NO NO!!!!!!!
Come on guys dont be naive.
68, I agree. Anyone who has ever taken prescription drugs knows that you do not mix them with other prescription drugs, and you definitely don’t take five different drugs at a time, unless prescribed by your doctor. And obviously no doctor would give you a combination of lethal drugs. I’m not saying it’s a suicide, but it’s unlikely that a mistake that large could have been made by a doctor. Anyways, RIP Heath Ledger.
It wasn’t as thought he had to pop 6 pills at the same time. When you’re ill or unable to sleep, 24 hours can feel like a long time and that medicine “isn’t helping” and take another of this or that. Probably not clear thinking. Very sad indeed, but at least the family has an answer.
RIP Heath…I have a feeling that the Scientologist will have a field day with this….
I do not think he would commit suicide this wy, als, is very uncommon in a man do commit suicide this way, medication overdose is more a way chosen by women, as I know. Men and women usually choose different ways to do this, but the male artists I have heard of that die by drugd is because they accidentally overdose, such as River Phoenix or others, maybe they are already numb when taking more medication or using illegal drugs.
meamelia … if you study medicine you would know not to judge a patient before you have actually examined them!
that is really sad i feel srry for matilda and michelle and family
i feel like crying
Actually Alice….the news said the D.E.A. are having a field day with this. The Govt.is really concerned where all this drugs are coming in.
