Heath Ledger autopsy results are in

First of all, let me apologize for posting so late today; a hamster (multiple hamsters) are apparently attacking the server this blog sits on and wreaking mighty hamster havoc. Or something like that.

ANYWAY, Heath Ledger’s autopsy results are in, and basically showed that his death was an accident (I still can’t believe that he’s gone, can you?):

The NYC medical examiner has finished the toxicology report following the death of Heath Ledger, and has just ruled that the actor’s death was caused by acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine

The NYPD found five different medications in Ledger’s apartment after his death, including anti-anxiety medications Alprazolam (Xanax), Diazepam (Valium) and Lorazepam (Ativan). The sleeping medication Zopiclone (Lunesta) and the sedative Temazepam (Restoril) — which is used by people with “debilitating insomnia” — were also found.

So sad; what a loss. RIP, Heath.
