Heath Ledger's Death Cause By "Acute Intoxication"


The toxicology reports of Heath Ledger have come back and the results indicate that Ledger's death was caused by "acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine."

The examiner also ruled that his death was an "accident" which resulted from the "abuse of prescription medications."

Five different medications were found in Ledger's apartment after his death, which included sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medications and Valium.

It seems like prescription drugs are the new popular drug amongst people. Unfortunately, these pills are too easy to get a hold of and the side effects are very serious.

Heath Ledger's private funeral is expected to take place on Saturday in his hometown of Perth, Australia.

Reportedly, he has been invited to online talk show this weekend on a big site called (MillMatch dot com) or something else. Some of his fans have gotten together there with waiting for him. Who knows his screen name on that site?

its so sad to hear of a bright young star succumbing to the intense pressure of life in the hollywood fast lane i too know how hard it is to deal with an addiction it must be even more hard to deal with under intense scrutiny by media and paparazzi this should be a wake up call to all celeb handlers pay attention to your clients if they need help help them get the help they need instead of trying to find ways to make money off their pain and suffering shame on all hollywood
