Heath Ledger Autopsy Results: Pills. Lots of Pills.
TMZ is reporting that Heath Ledger’s autopsy revealed that he died of “acute intoxication” caused by the effects of several prescription medications. And now a commerical for every drug on the market:
The NYPD found five medications in Ledger’s apartment after his death, including anti-anxiety medications alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium) and Lorazepam (Ativan). The sleeping medication zopiclone (Lunesta) and the sedative temazepam (Restoril) — which is used by people with “debilitating insomnia” — were also found. Doxylamine is an antihistamine used in the short-term treatment of insomnia.
What’s sad, is that there is probably a team of pharmaceutical marketing executives working on new packaging for these drugs right now. Instead of a butterfly, the new Lunesta box will have a picture a Heath Ledger and the tagline: Lunesta. Sleep with the angels. Like Heath!
