Heath Ledger Died Of An Accidental Drug Overdose

The Chief Medical Examiner for the City of New York has concluded his report on the death of Heath Ledger, and has determined the actor died after overdosing on prescription drugs. In a news release, the New York City medical examiner’s spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said:

“Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine.”

Yikes. That sounds like Lindsay Lohan’s medicine cabinet. For the D.A.R.E. kids: oxycodone = hillbilly heroin. So I guess the rumors (I didn’t post any here, but we’ve all heard ‘em) about Heath Ledger being a “junkie” were true? I’m honestly shocked. I expected a few drugs to turn up in the results, but not this many.

I can’t imagine how Michelle Williams must feel right now.
