Ledger died of prescription overdose
 

so young its such a shame.

I'm not sure why people don't bother to read the warnings on their medication to learn about which combinations NOT to take. So fucking desperate to get to sleep he doesn't even bother to give anything a chance to work and says "fuck it let's try someting else". Well he's getting plenty of sleep now.

well that's sad

It's becoming all too common, unfortunately.

I expected this.

Sad... really sad....

but i cant help but call him an idiot.. EVERYONE has demons... but he had the most resources to deal with his.. Sad

vicodin, percocet (or oxycontin) xanax, valium, restoril

yipeeee.....go heath!

sad......for him

that sucks...

thats a bit overkill i think. do you have any of those medications ? i have and it doesnt say " do not use this with the following drugs" it just warns you that you should consult your doctor about possible complications with other drugs. All the drugs he had were prescription drugs that i would assume he had a doctors prescription for. one would assume if your doctor prescribed all the drugs and they each have instructions basically saying to take them "as needed" that the doctor would tell you what drugs not to combine. Right ?

I think the real question about common sense should go to his doctor. Why was he on oxycodone and hydrocodone , these are both very strong pain killers, no offense to heath but he didnt seem "injured". And if his doctor prescribed them after already knowing he was on sleeping pills, he would have had to implicitly explain that you can't take the drugs together

sad for his family & especially his daughter.

oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine

damb that's a cocktail.

what a sad situation. i feel so bad for his beautiful little girl, and family.

Very Sad. I heard that this morning , Also the rapper Pimp C died by accident also ...cough sirup and codein I think was his mix

Jeezus!! :Oh crap

Was asking for it.. taking so much drugs

Its one of the most common and under reported things these days.

prescription OD's are extremely common.

what a fucked up situation.....

all he needed was a doob.

every night...

before bed.

he must have been taking A LOT of those things. i can see OD'ing on the opiates, but benzos? you need to take a pile of those things to die from that

accidental... hah if you dont know wtf you taking and what kind of script combos can harm you.. go see the doctor again

I don't call that an "accdent" he was trying to get high. he didn't have a cold. I don't think Heath was trying to get high. I think he was just trying to get some rest.
