Now, Be Honest...


The New York City medical examiner stated,

“Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine. We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications.”

So Vicodin, Percocet, Valium, Xanax and sleeping pills. Quite a cocktail of meds there. Crimony, I can’t imagine taking all that. Seems excessive. I do know that most of that stuff stays in your system for some time, so perhaps he didn’t ingest them all at once…right? Who knows, still sad and tragic - no matter how you cut it.


Of all the different pills in Heath Ledger's system at the time of his sad death, how many are you personally "familiar" with? I'm aware of four of them.
Let's hear it for the drug ads.
