You forgot to mention the pain killers also. You do not have to be a celebrity to get those prescriptions. I have all except for one, including the two painkillers in my cabinet right now. They were prescribed by one doc. All this crap about only celebs get them and you must be a drug addict if you use them is WRONG! I have a chronic desease and all of those pills makes life more manageable for me. It says on several of my med bottles NOT to combine them. I have suffered from insomnia so bad that I have been admitted to hospital for it. I can understand being that desperate for sleep, and what average guy really reads up on his meds? He was a imperfect human being that needed rest and could not get it. How do we know what his health was? He could have had a chronic illness also. He made a mistake that proved fatal. It is as simple as that. NOT suicide, not an addict, he was just human. A very special one at that. Let his family have some peace now. Have a great sleep, Heath. You will be missed and always remembered.

Ledger said that in an interview that he could not get more than 2 hours of sleep at night for some time. Also, he said that he would overmedicate with sleeping pills, get one hour of sleep and wake up with is mind racing.

This happened to me twenty years ago, I almost overmedicated and died. He went through hell. Poor guy I wish I knew him, I could have helped.

perhaps he was compromised with the pneumonia and it wouldn’t have taken as much medication to suppress his breathing. They say he was suffering from insomnia and possibly jet lag since recently returning from England. (wasn’t he filming there this past weekend?) I’m not saying that he didn’t over medicate, but maybe just an unfortunate series of events.

Dear snow ball
I am sorry I was distraught and did not react to your comment
I am sad for the situation too
I see sad situations on a daily basis
and I still have feelings for the patients
I am not one of those docs who just don’t care
I know people snap
I’ve seen them snap when least expected
and the ones you don’t expect to as well.
I trust the mind pain has an end
and the body does not suffer
when one falls asleep and goes on the last journey.
keep up
life is yours and the world too

Qui Gon Jenn
what you write goes against the reality of medical evidence
and I am actually a doctor
sorry,but I cannot agree with your theory
It’s compassionate though.

Oh, and MambaX. No fucking shit they can cause death. It doesn’t mean there are only two options. People get pills. They take them all the time. They become addicted. They take more pills. They feel good. They take more pills. Ooops. No malice. Probably no suicide.
