Heath's Death Ruled "Accidental Overdose"
While his friends and family gather in Australia to bury Heath Ledger, Us is reporting that authorities in New York have just released their official report on the actor's death.
Ellen Borakave, spokesperson for Office of Chief Medical Examiner, informed the magazine this morning that Ledger's death was "[an] accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications."
Toxicology reports showed that Ledger's death was brought about by the combination of drugs the actor was ingesting.
Borakave claims that Ledger's death was consistent with a reaction to oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine.
Three of those medications - diazepam (aka Valium), temazepam (aka Restoril), and alprazolam (aka Xanex) - were found among Ledger's medications by the NYPD.
What a sad way to go - but at least Heath's loved ones finally have a few answers!
Remember, people - mixing medications can be incredibly dangerous!
