Closure

I feel a small sense of closure today after the medical results of Heath Ledger's death were finalized and released to the public. The medical officed ruled that he died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs.

"Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Diazepam, Temazepam, Alprazolam, and Doxylamine," said an announcement released Wednesday morning by office spokeswoman Ellen Borakove."We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications."

This "poly-drug intoxication" probably led to respiratory arrest meaning that he slowly stopped breathing and eventually everything stopped all together.

Now that there is a resolution, the media can finally let the family grieve in peace. Speculation concerning past drug abuse and other allegations can be put to rest for the purpose of moving on and remembering who Heath truly was...a talented man who was a son, loving father, actor, artist and a human being who felt all the same things as we do.
