7. This is confusing with that amount of drug in your system that it ruled an accident. But who know's what was on his mind at the time.

8. What's frightening to me is that I suffer from anxiety issues and at one point or another have taken all of the drugs found in his system. Not all at once, mind you, but was told by my physicians that combining a few of those drugs was perfectly ok.

9. When you are a drug addict who goes to doctors in many countries you can acquire a dangerous number of pills.
He had MANY doctors.

12. This is why you should only take meds. prescribe to you by a doctor you trust. People think just because it a prescriptions that it's safe to take with anything. Very sad....

13. This has got to stop. Too many people are prescribed medications that can be toxic if taken in the wrong or improper combinations or quantities. There aren't enough warnings or support systems to inform people who are taking these scripts. This type of tragic accident happens every day.
I hope this puts to rest the media feeding frenzy that assumed Heath OD's from heroine, or other illegal substances. Rest in peace, Heath. You will be missed.

14. Did we learn nothing from the death of Anna Nicole or Elvis for that matter. Don't mix perscription drugs it will turn deadly in the end. Such a shame that stars go to an array of MD's that don't confer with one another on what their patients are taking. It could save countless lives. Heath was taken too soon and in such a preventable manner, I hope we all learn from his accident. RIP!

15. Doctors are very "quick" to prescribe any meds these days. So sad that it had to end like this....
Rest In Peace Heath
