Medicines Found in Heath's Apartment

16. My heart is broken for his family. Remember....he was someone's son, father, friend, hero. He was loved. We all should be so lucky. So quit judging.

17. #4, yes they were all prescription drugs but let me tell you, those are the most commonly abused prescription drugs out there.

I say it was an accidental OD

18. CNN just reported that no illegal drugs nor any residue on the $20 bill were found in the apartment......but there was a rolled up $20 bill that has not been tested yet

19. I feel so bad for him, he seemed lost without his fiance and daughter. Some people just can't handle certain things in life and need something to numb the pain.He was a great actor.

20. ...pretty clear his cardiac event was brought on by whatever was in his system.

21. excuse me ... #4.. just because they are prescription drugs, doesnt mean they cant be abused.. I've known lots of addicts that abused ativan, valium, and xanax.. the same withdrawls as heroin almost.

22. Rolled Up $20 Found Near Body...The bill would be taken to a lab for testing, though no visible drug residue was found on it, police said. NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly released the information at a Manhattan news conference, but did not elaborate on whether police think the bill, discovered on the floor near Ledger's bed, may have been used to snort drugs.

His autopsy is inconclusive...

23. drugs of this nature are, in general, used by those who are suffering from terrible emotional pain. there is no need to be saying "junkie" and so on; that is merely speculative

24. Policemen/ coroner personel always collect all medications during anyone's death scene....... the corner needs to know what people were taking for toxicolgy... a person could die from drug interaction, which is common all over the world to a drug allergy......... If any normal person dies.. they will do the same thing for you 2.
The man wasn't some drugged up person.........Seems like he really needed a break from work.......
Actors must really love their work to deal with awful working hours......

25. People who do coke often use benzo's like Xanax or sleeping medication to avoid the horrible come down and get some sleep.

26. It's a terrible thing to note how many people are being systematically offed by PRESCRIPTION drugs in this country. Too bad all the fun one's have to be illegal.

27. Xanax is one of the most popular prescription drugs to abuse. It makes some people act like zombies and some will do crazy things they would normally never do and then they wont remember a thing. Poor Heath...it really bothered me to hear about his death. Another senseless loss. I feel so bad for his family.

28. I lived in europe before........they don't presribe hard medications for common things as they do here........

The only thing I would worry about is different presrciptions being prescribed by different physicians interacting... As the doctors wouldn't know necessarily what you were taking...unless you mentioned it.

29. ONCE THE MEDIA WAS ALLOWED TO GO AS FAR AS THEY DID WITH BRITNEY, EVERYONE IS NOW FAIR GAME.. DONT BITCH NOW BECAUSE TMZ IS HITTING ON A PERSON YOU LIKE..NEXT COULD BE YOU.

30. I have taken Ambien before and that alone can screw you up. Anyone taking that can do things without remembering it. He may not have remembered and taken more or taken something else on top of the Ambien to get to sleep. I believe it was an accidental OD. God bless his family.
