61. Selfish prick! boohoo hoo I'm a miserable celebrity! He should of thought of his beautiful little girl before he took those pills.
When you become a parent, you have to put your child first, no matter how depressed you are.

62. You know I was a prescription drug addict. 40 perks a day and you don't think about dying or anything else when you pop one after another. So everyone can stop with the "stupid", "idiot" etc. remarks unless you've been there.
Clean and sober 3-1/2 yrs now!

God Speed Heath!!

66. How can some of you be so rude. You do not know how much of each medication was in his system. Most medicines stay in your blood stream for days or weeks. Heath obviously was having trouble sleeping, and that is why he was perscribed the meds. He didn't abuse them to get high, he wanted to be able to sleep for goodness sakes. His love for his daughter is sooooo obvious, why would he want to be taken away from her. It was an accident, something that could happen to anyone who is perscribed meds. You are acting like he was pumped filled of coke and other DRUGS. Rest in Peace Heath, we will miss you!

67. Kashmir,

You obviuosly have no idea about anything. He was having trouble sleeping. He obviously loved his little girl. Grow up and get your facts in order.

69. Wake up people. This was no "accident". It's called being a junkie. These people have many Dr.'s on purpose and know full well the result of taking too many drugs in combination, that it can be fatal.

70. Like many others I was shocked and saddened at Heath's death, but this was in no way an accident. Unfortunatly it was pure stupidity on Ledger's part. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all those he left behind. May he rest in peace.

71. DEFINITION OF SUICIDE:
The act of causing ones own death. Suicide may be positive or negative and it may be direct or indirect. Suicide is a positive act when one takes ones own life.

Suicide is a negative act when one does not do what is necessary to escape death such as leaving a burning building.

Suicide is direct when one has the intention of causing ones own death, whether as an end to be attained, or as a means to another end, as when a man kills himself to escape disgrace, ruin, etc.

Suicide is indirect (and not usually called suicide) when one does not desire it as an end or a means, but when one nevertheless commits an act which courts death.

-----------------------

So indirect suicide is the answer.

72. To those of you who are being mean and talking trash.....shame on you. I am an educated person who suffers from Chronic insomnia. Over the last couple of years my doctor has prescribed many different medications, some alone and some combined with others. Every time telling me how safe they were. Alprazolam [ Xanax] and Temazepam were prescribed at same time and when they didn’t work after a couple of weeks the doctor had me up the dose until I was taking 5 time the normal prescribed dose for both. He was my doctor so I trusted him and did what he said. I was just desperate to sleep. Maybe that’s what happened to Heath. When you have insomnia you will do anything to sleep. R.I.P HEATH

73. Come on! Who takes all those together without being an abuser! Who takes that many with those combinations? He had a death wish, plain and simple!

74. REST IN PEACE, MY FRIEND...............I KNEW YOU............AND I KNEW YOU DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE..................
YOU'LL LIVE IN MY HEART FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



LOVE YOU MADLY,

75. i dont think heath committed suicide
but why does everyone think it is so impossible to love your kid and still committ suicide,there are parents all over the world who commit suicide everyday and they love their kids,they just hate something else,life,themselves,how they feel,who knows,one has nothing to do with the other when the slide starts to happen
