"There were some drugs found around the body - prescription type drugs," a police spokesman tells PEOPLE. It's still unclear whether the death was accidental.

Unfortunately, he committed a mistake a lot of people commit. He mixed up together prescription drugs. People need to know that even in small doses, doing this can be deadly.

| NEW YORK - Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdose of painkillers, sleeping pills, anti-anxiety medication and other prescription drugs, the New York City medical examiner said Wednesday. The cause of death was "acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam and doxylamine," spokeswoman Ellen Borakove said in a statement. The medical examiner's office only provided generic names, so it is unknown whether he took generic or brand-name drugs. Police had said they found six types of prescription drugs, including sleeping pills and anti-anxiety medication, in Ledger's apartment. |

Somehow, I suspect that Heath Ledger committed suicide. When he was interviewed by an EXTRA reporter, he admitted that it was difficult for him to adjust to his newly found fame. He felt very uncomfortable with it. Shortly after his demise, more reports were revealed that he went to nightclubs and used drugs like cocaine. His former girlfriend, Michelle Williams, ended her relationship with him because he kept going out to these nightclubs and returning home intoxicated. She did not think that he was setting a good example for his young daughter.
I think this guy had problems with fame, fortune and dealing with the Hollywood crowd. His medication suggests that he was probably suffering from depression and needed drugs to relax and induce sleep. I believe that sometimes, the family of the deceased, may communicate with the toxicologist, to diplomatically indicate that it was an accidental death to the public. After all, no one wants their son to be remembered as the guy who committed suicide. I believe that suicide is still considered to be a taboo in today's society.
It is painful and embarrassing for the family to read the newspaper everyday and find an article about their son's death. However, details about Heath Ledger may prove to be beneficial for others since it dispels the myth that, mixing prescribed drugs is safe.
