I'm leaning towards Heart Attack.
so when will they know the cause of death?
I'm leaning towards Heart Attack.
I think Mary Kate Olsen gave him the deadliest of all blow jobs.
LOL wow I wonder what that is like
Here are the drugs found in Heath Ledger's body:
• Oxycodone -- narcotic/pain killer; trade names: OxyContin, Percodan
• Hydrocodone -- narcotic/pain killer; trade name (combined with acetaminophen): Vicodin
• Diazepam -- anti-anxiety drug; trade name: Valium
• Alprazolam -- anti-anxiety drug; trade name: Xanax
• Doxylamine -- sleep medication; trade name: Unisom
• Temazepam -- sleep medication; trade name: Restoril
The combination of drugs could cause the brain and brain stem to "fall asleep," halting heart and lung function.

yeah guys... real smart move mixing all those pills
i guess i'm having trouble understanding how the term accident is being used here. so if you're a college kid who drinks too much alcohol and dies of alcohol poisoning, is that an accident too? you made the decision to continue drinking but didn't intend for it to kill you. is this a fair comparison?
I don't think he meant to kill himself, but how can you not realize what you are doing by taking all those pills? I mean was it all pretty much taken at the same time?
just cause they were found in his system doesn't mean he took them all at the same time....
I still think this is all one huge, elaborate scheme to promote TDK.
That would be the coolest thing ever, ever.
Firstly:
Secondly, there are tons of accidents every day that are caused by people being dumbasses and not thinking through the consequences of their own actions, but they're still accidents. Intent is pretty much the key in determining whether or not something was accidental.
I haven't read anything on the Ledger death since the news broke last week, but most pills take 3-4 days to pass through the body and be undetectable in your blood. So I could take some xanax right now and die of a coke overdose on Saturday and they'd find xanax and coke in my system. It doesn't mean he took all those at the same time, he could have been mixing the drugs to see if a combination of them could ease his sleeping problems.
It's not that I don't agree with you, I think he was stupid with all the pills he took, but there's no way of really knowing what he did. But six, seven months ago you could check my blood on any given day and probably find traces of alcohol, xanax, cocaine, LSD, and tobacco on any given day. Doesn't mean I did all that at the same time.
People keep saying in this thread things like "maybe he didn't take them all at the same time." Well, he most likely took them in the general timeframe of each other.
An autopsy isn't the same as a standard blood test that just shows what drugs are in your system. Through tissue samples, they can tell whether he took them in a relatively close proximity to each other.
I've stayed clear of the whole Heath Ledger thread because I knew someone very well who died very similarly at the age of 37 from almost the same combination of drugs ... vicodin, valium, xanax, unisom and something else. He sat down on the edge of his bed one night laid back and died. His heart expanded and he died. Autopsy was inclusive, but I was around him right up to his death and saw how much much and what combination of drugs he was taking.
A lot of people in L.A. that I knew mixed heavy painkillers and anxiety/depression meds. It's scary that they can get so many different pills from "legit" doctors. Sad.
Condolences to the Ledger family.

BigPharma and the doctors have USA $$eating from the palms of their hands, like trained squirrels. 10s of millions of people, having been sold pills with $60B/year BigPharma marketing, can't imagine life with pills, so for their entire dependent lives, they pump 100s of $Bs into Big Pharma with the docs taking their %age. Pills have replaced tobacco as the big USA money spinner for the corps, now that the tobacco companies have taken their murderous marketing and products to less developed countries and ignorant populations.
Of course, the corps and the docs are completely legally innocent of Ledger's and 1000s/year of other deaths due to drug interactions.
that sucks. a beer a joint and a tylenol pm is all the brutha really needed.
