The NY coroner’s office released toxioclogy reports ruling actor Heath Ledger‘s death an “accident” based on results showing he had 3 different anti-anxiety medications and 2 different sleeping pills in his system.
Overdosing on a few sleeping pills is an accident. But Ledger had Valium, Ativan, Xanax, Lunesta and Restoril in his bloodstream at the time of his death. That’s more like suicide or murder.
In somewhat related news, an LA county coroner also ruled rapper Chad “Pimp C” Butler‘s untimely death an accident due to the combination of sleep apnea and the effects of cough medicine. Despite all the headlines blaming Pimp C’s death on cough medicine, it’s more likely he died from his medical condition sleep apnea considering the levels of Phenergen and Codeine in his bloodstream were not that high.
