Well today was confirmed, Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdose of a combination of prescription drugs. So all those rumors of drug abuse with cocaine can all come to a rest. The combination of prescrition drugs was the cause of Heath Ledger's death. Heath Ledger died last month at the young age of 28. It's very sad that something like this may have been avoided.
After Heath's sudden tragedy last month it will definitely make people think twice of using prescription drugs. Many people may be using a couple of prescriptions at the same time. It should make people think, will it cause a deadly combination that could be lethal like Heath Ledger's case.
I wonder how many people a year die of accidental overdose. Maybe more education should be taught to people or more empahsis from your family doctor. Heath Ledger will be greatly missed. This young actor had so many great movies that he was in, I will miss him as a person and of his great ability to act as well.
