According to Newsweek, Heath Ledger may have died after mistakenly taking too much prescription medication.
Among the medicines found in the apartment were reportedly Lunesta, Valium, Lormetazepam, Temazepam, Xanax and Donormyl-doxylamine. If taken in the prescribed doses, experts say it’s safe. However, various combinations may be harmful.
For example, if someone takes Xanax and Ambien in and increased dose, they could suffer a fatal overdose.
The initial autopsy on Ledger was inconclusive. A more detailed examination will be carried out in the coming days.
