Deadly Combo?

you know ... he could have snorted the 'scrips.

you know ... he could have crushed and snorted the 'scrips.

This is truly a tradegy and more people need to take heed in how dangerous prescription drugs are.

I use to eat doritos and take ambien at night, until I realized that the two were a lethal combination. It's frustrating and dissapointing that doritos can do that. I have not tried it with ranch doritos yet, but I would bet that it would ending being the same deadly cocktail.

if he hadn;t tken the anti-histamine, there's a good chance he'd still be here. If he did have pneumonia, an antihistamine would be the worst thing to take: it shuts all your histmines down, and could affect respiratory problems. Plus, they make you sleepy as hell. Put all that together, and there's no wonder he went to sleep and stopped breathing..JOK

Heath Ledger was a great actor. He will truly be missed. My love and prayers goes out to his family and friends. As an actor he touched so many lives, and I was truly devastated by the news. Heath was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. He was warm, and charming and honest. But most of all he was a good person. We need more of people like him. May God rest his soul.

Heath was obviously in a great deal of pain. You don't do heroin because you are insanely happy! And FYI -loving someone or having someone who loves you (no matter how much) does not make that pain any less. That doesn't make him stupid or weak-he was a sick man and who can blame him for that? Would you blame some one for dying of cancer? Addiction is a disease and it kills people everyday! Whether it be an instant or over time is it any less tragic?

It really doesnt matter what prescriptions he took, who called who, or what the reoccurring speculations are when something like this happens (everyone knows how that one goes)... what DOES matter is a wonderful Man who was kind, considerate and an all out great guy lost his life. What DOES matter is a 2 year old little girl has lost her father...she will no longer get to play in the park with him, get ice cream with him, feel his arms around her when shes overtired an just needs a cuddle...what DOES matter is that her mother Michelle Williams is now left to raise their daughter alone...what DOES matter is that his family lost their son, their brother, a intricate part to their family, no parent should ever have to bury their child. And the rest of us, well, we lost a fellow member of our society. As far as I can see, all the what ifs become less important when you realize the world just lost a really great guy!! Rest in Peace Heath, may the angels carry you home.

Hopefully this will be a wakeup call for people, physcians and FDA.
there are other ways to combat health problems besides RX..
what happened to exercise, nutrition, etc.
People , take responsibility for yourself and have your physcian give you the names for good nutritionist and health spas instead of writing out a script for everything.
Stop the flow of RX ...It is out of hand...

I wish someone would have called 911 right way rather than going through his cellphone.

There was a woman in my area that was taking these sleeping pills that would wake up in the middle of the night and sleepwalk. she actually drove to the store, purchased candy and drove back home. and i think that she wasnt the only one that this happened to. Maybe they should investigate this in Heath's case. And also i think that the FDA should ban these damn sleeping pills instead of shoving them on the unsuspecting public. there have been too many cases of death. suicide, and sleepwalking to count. may Heath rest in peace, andmuch love to his beautiful daughter and family.

Speculation as to how Mr. Ledger died is just that...speculation. With an inconclusive autopsy and toxicology reports not yet completed it is unfair to jump to conclusions as to how this tragic death occured. We should all be celebrating the life of this extremely talented actor instead of playing a guessing game. At twenty-eight years old it is understandable that people want to know why and how such a tradgedy could occur, but until the facts surrounding his death are known everyone should not be so quick to presume. Our consititurion is built on a systym of inocent until proven guilty, but apparently in the media's eye's its innocent until found dead. Have respect for Heath Ledger by celebrating his life, respecting the privacy of his family so they can mourne in peace, and refrain from specultating on cause of death until all facts are known. I would like to offer my sincere condolenscences to all of his family, especially the little girl who will never get to know him the way that she should.

My condolences go out to the family and his daughter and,yes it is sad but at least we can say thar he had shared something with all of us and that was his talent, his acting! He was Great! So let us not say negative things but only good things so his little girl will always remember her daddy as being a great person!!!!
My condolences go out to the family and remeber that only the guy upstairs knows the real truth and we have no wright making speculations or insinuations or judging what happened. His parents do not need to listen to the garbage we all loved him and will be very much missed!!!!! REST IN PEACE HEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a total shame this occured. Alot of people have trouple sleeping and anxiety problems. Personally I amtaking 3 of those medications listed as well as an antihistamine. But I do not take more than the prescribed dosage. I have had no problem and have been on those 3 medications for several years.
