Jan 24 2008Heath Ledger had six types of meds near his bed

0122_heath_ledger_rip_00.JPG

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...

whats up with his cubed forhead?

please be nice about heath, it's awfully sad...

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.

Sorry to hear that. BTW, did you ever posted your profile to a celebrity and millioniare dating site called BillionaireCupid.com? I just saw your profile yesterday on that site.

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...

I think I'll hibernate like a turtle this weekend, get a few flats of beer, rent "Brokeback Mountain", lie back and just let the experience take me wherever it goes. know what I'm sayin'?

It'll be kinda like my own personal way o' mourning...

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.

I hear the toxic 'script combo was donated by the Topeka's Westboro Baptist church. Those wiley bastards.

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.

Those TMZ bastards are streaming live video outside of the funeral chapel in NY where Ledger's body lies. Viewings are expected today.

How long before we see the hooded, puffy-eyed & bloated figure of John Travolta bolting inside?

Whoa... there are some really hot women in NYC...

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.

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.

Jesus, even Skanky Ang thinks that's a bit too many drugs......and that bitch BLEEDS coedine.

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.

Did you guys see any of his movies? He should've taken a bottle of fucking acting pills. Big- headed queer.

11--The only tragedy here is that he didn't go on a shooting rampage taking you and all the other jackasses who's hearts bleed for people you don't know prior to his last breath.

Apologies for the repeat post. The net is still slow down under.

#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".

Now who stuck their fist up my twat?

Why did he need 6 different types of anti-pussiness medication?

Oh yeah...it was Heath Ledger.

OH, OH ...
I feel so sad... I like him very much! I have collected all his movies. If you want to share it,find me on bbwconnect.com.Come on!

This story is about as rotten as Heath will be in a couple days.

26--I'll tell ya what's weak.....the majority of the "humor" in these comments. Jesus....I've heard pleas for mercy funnier than this.........

"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"."

my wrist bones actually became a little floppy while reading that

He should have The Patriot to cure his insomnia. It worked for me.

Yes yes, # 31, I agree. The COMMENTERS are about as rotten as HEath will be in a couple days.

@27 That was me Lady Jane..

wah wah wah wah Heath is dead wah wah wah wah Heath was like a brother to me wah wah wah wah people are being mean about brother Heath wah wah wah wah it's not funny wah wah wah wah

grow gonads

Sounds like he may have been dating Courtney Love to me.

What I REALLY want to discuss now in depth is Britney's bi-polarity...

Hee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

#23? Are you fucking serious? I'm a bleeding heart? Right.. You come to Superficial much?

You're a fucking moron, baby. 'Sampan', right? Maybe you could go on a shooting spree in the name of Heath Ledger. It'd be fun! You'd look, and be just like your friend, Cho Seung-Hui; the Virginia Tech killer.

What's Britney up to today?

#31 Oh yeah and your a fucking laugh riot. Pls stop, oh great arbiter of humour, my sides hurt.

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.

Papahotnuts - it would be cool if you died soon and your ashes were scattered around a glory hole.

BaconMessiah, I got sumthin' for yah. It's not a bouquet of roses either you stupid cunt.

Wow... this place stinks worse than an overrated actor in body bag.

Have some respect for the man's work.

#21 - I disagree... his movies made me explore my more sensitive side... I've cut down beating my kids to twice a week now, and I realize how much it hurts my calloused hands.

And am I the only one to say Ha hmmmmmm to his "friendship" with the 12 year old boy looking Oslen? NAMBLA mo'fuckas...

Heath misunderstood Jack Nicholson's advice and tried methadone acting.

#39 - Your comment was actually #12, not #11. CougarTexas Melloncamp was #11. I'm sure Sampan knows Cho quite well.

#43 oh goody what is it, a picture of your prolapsed colon?

#42... "a lovely jawline", indeed; however, the nose was a little flat and unsculpted, wasn't it? A bit like an ABC-wad of "Juicy Fruit". Ah, well. N'er mind. He WAS, by most accounts, a very handsome pup.

Deal Dialy:

Today I go on Slupaflishal and lead stupid comment by braconmessiah and D. Lichads. Make me so piss off.

I get it... prolapsed colon, dead "not" gay guy... I get it...

"Cho", you've been busted, pal.

Now go take a flying leap & take all your "meetrichdating.com" & "singlesasianonly.com" paraphernalia with you.

My final analysis....I believe he died from combo of the meds, the pneumonia (which probably had him dehydrated and brought his pressure up high from the stress - happened to me), too little sleep, and bam, perfect mix for heart attack and eventual death.

It happens, people just die. (remembering Heath and feeling melancholy)

#53 - I'm trying to see how that retort made any sense at all...

@42. I don't care about you NOW when you're alive. And I think I'd like you better dead. Because then my dog would have somewhere to take a dump.

I once dated a guy who had a head shaped like his but he was part Asian, he was also really good in bed, but I think that Heath's head shape is due to all of the Meth he was doing, and all the secret children he was hiding from the paps.

It's good he died before he spent all of his money on drugs. What a jerk, he could have bought a computer instead and bloged about other celebrities for fun, like we do.

Looks like the troll is using a lot of names today. Your slip is shwong, troll.

Watch... The real deal will come down to the public outcry & subsequent lashing of the maid/masseuse/whatever who retardedly refused to call 911 immediately and instead speed-dialed one of those Bushbaby Olsen Twins.

WHY is John Travolta so deeply upset??? Not that everyone isn't but Travolta's sorrow seems especially intense.

What was their relationship? Please don't say that Ledger was a Scientologist. He seems way to smart & decent for that kind of
corruption Travolta is steeped in.

LMAO @ 45!!! Nice pic! Jesus, some people are really fast with Photoshop.

#42- scatter my ashes around a glory hole?
What's with the hostility? I agree with you, he did have a lovely jaw line, and a beautiful mouth also. His asshole was nearly perfect and he swallowed like a 14 year-old Asian hooker (guy or girl, I've had both). Don't hate me, I feel we have a lot in common. For one, we both agree that you have severe self-esteem issues due to your acne problem and your back moles. And jack-o-lantern teeth.

Oh shit! I fucked-up.

I responded to #11 as well; I think that's why I confused myself.

Anyway, sorry about that, Cho. You sweety!

@53..hey.."Fergie" - that's tough talk coming from a small man with soft hands.

"6 different types of anti-pussiness medication"

No shit. Looks like this wimp was typecast in Brokeback. He clearly fit right in once he moved to America - "gimmie some pills, doc, I'm in PAIN! ... what? ... no ... not physical pain ... per se ... it's emotional ... and that's bad too, in fact it's WORSE! YEAH! ... that's what the people in my "group" say all the time..."

Oops, I forgot to "show some respect" - I should have referred to "this dead wimp."

@58 - no, not trolls, dipshit....try again. Don't hurt yourself thinking either.

Hey, D RICHARDS (Stain) --- Me thinketh you posteth too much. Bitch.

The POINT of my post was that your brain and body cannot possibly adjust well to so many different timezones and travel fatigue WITHOUT the help of medication. And you being the fucking weirdo trolling posting freak that you are, I bet you've been through 3 or 4 divorces and about 15 relationship splits, so you know the pain of that. Again, medication.

Now, get back to your HTML research, dipshit.

oooooohh Goody Papa! Your ashes spread around a glory hole!!!! What could be better!!!!
*claps hands*
GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH!

I would HATE to be Britney's lipstick. No, I'm not talking about the garish & unflattering tone, but the fact her tongue and saliva are in contact with it almost constantly...

Sure wish I coulda poked Heath with a stick.....

Here's the thing about that Bollocksburg pic - it's what turns the guy on. The woman is performing a service. All is as it's supposed to be.

Just kidding, about my comments in 62, I only wish I knew him that way.
I was describing myself exactly in the last two sentences.
There really shouldn't be an s on the end on my name.
And 42, that location for my ashes is already described as in my will.
Now that I am finished with said will it is time to go.
I didn't want to die a virgin, but so be it.

GOODBYE CRUEL SHALLOW WORLD!


P.S
Zanna, Im sure that my dog would look at you and already assume that you are a place he could take a #2 on.

You're next then, Dr. Phil.

Every glory hole my ashes touched would magically be turned into delicious vaginas, of which all people who follow me would be able to enjoy for many years. My ashes would be of heavenly descent, and all that came in contact with them would be freed of the inadequacies that make you the losers that you are today. Of course, I'm speaking only to those who need to hear this, the rest are a good and kind people.
BaconMessiah and oh well are douchebags.

take a #2? What, you're such a douche you can't even type out the word shit? You're not worthy of the title of troll...

Hey 70. Dig him up in a couple of days. It's a lot more fun when thier gamier.

Hey 70. Dig him up in a couple of days. It's a lot more fun when they're gamey.

papa -
sorry if i hurt you,
by the way:
im here, im queer, and I have flawless skin.

SWEET- I GOT TROLLED ON #72. I ROCK.

found lying naked, face down, has unfortunately never sounded so good.

the words "did you ever seen" would make a good anti-spam phrase, fish. apparently english teachers don't live long enough in the meetrich.gulag to get to present perfect.

Janey, it's not what turns ME on. But I'm sure I could find a girl who would do what I want, because service comes naturally to women. That's why I love them. In fact, that's the only reason.

#76-77 - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

#58 - This coming from an idiot that uses ?????? as a name? When they finalize the process for cloning, I'm sure your family line will be first in the genetic scrap heap. Seriously, most of you are pretty fucking new here I see...

I think that the pneumonia had much to do with Heath's death. The tranquilizers and combination of sleeping pills depressed his breathing rate and it gradually dropped to the point where it deprived his brain of enough oxygen to stop his heart. Thus, the pneumonia affected his ability to draw in enough air to keep his brain and heart alive.

Surely a sad situation. I wish his family peace in this difficult time.

(BTW, I'm an ER nurse. We're educated and specifically trained to recognize these types of problems.)

Tragic. He was trying to get himself back together after some major drug problems. So to go because of taking the wrong combo of prescription meds is pretty unfortunate.

I just wonder if this sort of thing actually makes the likes of Brit, PH, LL, etc think twice about their own pathetic, erratic drug/alcohol lives. Thankfully, probably not, so there is still hope one of them might do themselves in.

Maybe Christian Bale took his role as Batman a little too seriously and actually killed Heath Ledger. With a flying bat-kick to the head.

PHN, maybe it's because Heath asked him if he ever "herd" of sheep, right before he handed Mr Bale a set of sequined velcro gloves.

Pills. I could have killed him with...pills. Motherfucker.

Hey fergernauster (#7)... ever listened to the warnings on those stupid commercials? Or read a pamphlet on them? You can die very easily taking RX drugs. They kill 100,000 people every year... wayyyyyy more than illegal drugs.

Don't understand what's so difficult to figure out about the cause of death.... the pills morons, it's the dangerous pills. They're not harmless! Wake up!

Deal Dialy:
Today...not so good. Big mout on soopul fisher name D Lichalds make me so piss off. Cho say D Lichalds is breedomg halt.... D Lichalds is most dishonuhbur.....Cho solly he miss D Lichalds las spling.

Cho?! Are those your testicles that mistress is grinding in to the floor? My god!

Everybody, check that link!

'Flying bat-kick'. Ha!

I take flinstone kid vitamins too!

I am a flinstones 22 year old female to lazy to swallow an entire adult sized vitamin with a glass of water!

#92? It's 'Flintstones'. Don't worry, darlin', I've been making mistakes today too.

Have you ever considered taking big-kid vitamins with a clumpy mouthful of my ejaculate? Not only is it good for you, but the seed is filling too.

Wow 93! I bet it's just chock full of Protein as well! Too bad it can't save Heath.

Hey 70. you can poke him while I lube up. Then it's MY TURN!!!!!!

#90

I needed that today!

Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahaa!

Who fucking cares if some pretty boy faggot dies of an OD.
There is a war in Kenya, Congo, and Darfour, (and all of black Africa).
There is going to be a civil war in Bolivia and Hugo Chavez chews cocaine paste!
Who cares about some piece of shit faggot who had EVERYTHING but is too fucking stupid to live.

Boo fucking hoo!!

Assholes. All of you. Not one comment even worth looking at.
And stop hitting send 3 times. I don't want to read your stupid uninformed misspelled drivel multiple times.

ok so he had sleeping pills somthing like benedryl and anxiety meds! BIG DEAL!!! ive mixed those 3 types before and im still alive , ive taken all those plus more!!! lol but seriously takin the recommended does of all 3 wouldnt kill someone!!! i just think this whle story surrounding him is shady!!! If he was "just sick" why was he laying all on his bed naked?? It doesnt add up!!! i think their is deff more to this story that hasnt been relased!!!!!!

#98 - Don't worry, we'll all be gone tomorrow... then you can pretend it's better here, as you and your cohorts pick up the empty beer cans, spents condoms, and confetti. But if there was "Not one comment even worth looking at." as you say, how would you know unlss you, well, you know, looked at them?

#99, you're right, this is bullshit. You'd have to be 95 years old with no liver function at all to off yourself with Benadryl and Xanax at the recommended doses... Benadryl and ALCOHOL is supposed to be one of the most dangerous polydrug situations around and you'd still need to TRUCKLOAD the Benadryl before washing them down with booze to not just wake up with a bad hangover.

shit we all do that mix our meds when we feel crap .. damn i am so sad about this

Better to die with a head full of hair than to live bald.

RIP Heath.

Well to me it sounds odd, why would he take painkillers-Hai! what pain did he have no mention of that and how many drugs did he take no mention of that 6 is not enough to end your life. Next you will hear a different version of his accidental death...rip Heath Ledger...

I think he missed his little one and couldn't take being separated, so he decided to end his life it sticks out a mile I bloody reckon so...
RIP Heath we loved you...

Wow f.u.c.k all of you who talked shit about him. He was a damn well actor and how dare you say something about his appearance? Have you no respect fo the dead? r.i.p heath ! i miss you XP
