16. inconclusive ... Does not mean, narcotics, it does not mean suicide, it is was it is....TRAGIC!
The hearts of many are saddened! His daughter without a father, family without a son and friends and loved ones with out a friend.
Trully a sad day, loved my many and will be missed!
Things happen and sometimes there is no real reason, except an accident.
I love you heath, and my prayers are with you and your loved ones during this time of mourning!

17. Inconclusive most definitely does mean some kind of drug interaction or overdose.

19. He checked out at the perfect time, just when he was getting hot. Now he will be a James Dean figure.

22. I also agree with #9 You people act like you had insight into his life why don't you think about the fact that someday his little girl will see some of this stuff and here are all of you people saying things you know absolutely nothing about. Get real people just because you watched his movies doesn't mean you know anything about his PRIVATE life. That poor little girl will be affected by the nasty lies you people are telling. So shut up and think about something besides bashing a person you didn't even know personally..It makes me sick the way all this stuff happens now it is stuff like this that makes the world so sick and disturbing when people can sit there and comment on a person and not even think about their family and friends before you say something cruel and untrue.

25. Some of you are absolutely crazy. This is another tragic death in Hollywood and you people want to tear this poor man to shreds. You can OD by accident on meds, it happens EVERYDAY!!! Some meds do not mix well together (look at Anna Nicole's death & Marilyn Monroe) Give him the peace he deserves in death and wish his family nothing but your thoughts and prayers. There is no reason for any of you to treat him this way or say some of the things I have been reading on here. ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN, stop making it out to be more then it really is.

REST IN PEACH HEATH LEDGER - one of your biggest fans!!!!!

29. #7 "Comment" - You are an idiot. Heroin and cocaine are in two completely different drug classes. They would have opposite effects on one's body and on the eyes. These accusations are as baseless and empty as your brain.

30. I don't know what happened with Heath Ledger, but I got two Ambies pills from a friend for a 9-hour flight. One for the way there and one for the way back. Worked like a charm. I woke up feeling really great. My point is that least Ambian can feel totally safe and it would be easy to pop another one to get a good night of sleep. Of course you have to follow the Dr.'s orders, but I could see making a trajic mistake if someone really needed sleep with a tough work schedule ahead. Just my opinion.
