Heath Ledger had six types of meds near his bed

January 24th, 2008 // 112 Comments

Here’s the latest update on the Heath Ledger situation. The $20 bill was clean and now it’s being reported that any drugs found at the scene were prescription drugs specifically for Heath, according to the AP:

There were six different types of prescription drugs in the room, including pills to treat insomnia and anxiety, and an antihistamine, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

All respect to Heath, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it probably wasn’t a good idea to mix all those. Then again, what do I know? I still take Flintstones Vitamins. Time to get my Dino on…

    Just a good ol fashioned joint would’ve helped his insomnia.

    Sounds like a mistake rather than suicide.

    BTW his Joker kicks Jacks out of the park.

    Just because they found the drugs doesn’t mean he took them all at once. I read for a credible news source that by “scattered” they meant there were bottles that were mostly full throughout the apartment (like in medicine cabinets). And Superficial….you are so much better than TMZ. You don’t take yourself seriously and think you’re an actual news source. You know what you are…GOSSIP.

    Unless his body was oddly and/or particularly sensitive to those chemicals, I can’t see how that RX stuff could kill him, if taken pretty much according to direction.

    Hell… I’ve taken pretty much all of those pills, mixed with booze and other stuff and am still here to type about it.

    Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

    maybe his heart just kept slowing down until it stopped. All in all, at least a painless way to die. I keep thinking about the autopsy. You know, they crack your chest open for those… icky.

Oh, and my theory is that Jack Nicholson put a voodoo curse on Heath because he was mad about the Joker role. Like, the evil eye, but maybe too strong this time, jack…

    Ya’ll, leave this guy alone. This is a real tragedy. Yeah, I know, wah wah, poor rich actor- you cynical bastards and bitches. But think about the travel schedule and different timezones on different continents and what that can do to your brain and body. He just didn’t deal well.

    I feel sad about this.

    11th fuckers.

    Yes, I know.

    The first drug was for hemorrhoids. Heath was notorious for his rhoids.

    The second, Tylenol, he had a headache. Third, was for the canker sore he couldn’t get rid of. Fourth, a little marijuana, no big deal. Fifth, sleeping pills to help with jetlag.

    And sixth, and I think this may have been what did him in: Heroin! Works everytime.

    Yeah, #11. Traveling kills. It’s not drugs, or lifestyle. It’s different time zones.

    Too bad they already autopsified Heath’s broken body; cause of death — Traveling.

    I’m having a hard time mustering up a whole lot of sympathy for this one. 28 years old, a father and doped up on all kinds of anxiety and sleep pills. Stop taking pills people! If you’re weak and can’t deal with life [that's right, I said it! It's not 'stress', it's called LIFE and it is SUPPOSED to be hard!] then just smoke weed. It won’t kill you.

    His little girl will go through life without a father, now that’s the part that I feel bad about. She doesn’t deserve this.

  18. I hate the masseuse. | January 24, 2008 at 10:11 am

    So the bottles were found to be mostly full.
    thr masseuse waited 45 min to call 911.
    she called mary-kate olsen 2 times before that.
    he prob could have lived if his masseuse wasn’t so stupid.

    He had an appointment that day for massage, and was meeting a director the next day, told the director to give him an AM wakeup call.

    Doesn’t sound that much like suicide to me.

    Maybe if the masseuse had called 911 first, he would still be alive.

    Oh, and the interview with him saying he could die started out with someone asking him about his daughter, and he was saying if he died she could carry on his name.

    I don’t think he planned to kill himself. but we will see.

    Why is it that every death of a famous person has to have a story behind it? He’s dead. Deal with it. In Australia every second news story is about some new snippet of his life. We all know he is dead, so lets all f*#k off and leave his family to grieve.

    #17… I can’t smoke weed. Unfortunately, it affects me very adversely. It’s only booze ‘n sedation medication for me!

    And I take issue with your synopsis of “neurotic” people as weak. Because many of them are gentle and feeling souls who merely see through the flimsy fog of superficial pretense to view the harsh reality that is life, does not necessarily render them “weak”.

    Atleast heath was rich and had lots of money to contribute to taxes with, and he had a lovely jaw line.
    More people will care about his death than any of your deaths.
