Heath Ledger’s autopsy results revealed a dangerous mix of prescription drugs: Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Diazepam, Temazepam, Alprazolam, and Doxylamine. All of them were prescribed by doctors. Some were pain killers, others were used to treat insomnia and anxiety.
Heath took them without knowing they could kill him when used in combination. Experts believe that they slowed down his respiratory system, so he started breathing more and more slowly until he stopped breathing completely. Now police are after the doctors who allowed him to take them without informing him of the risks.
