On January 22nd Heath Ledger, mostly known as Sir William Thatcher in ‘A Knight’s Tale’, was found dead in his apartment. When the news got public, people immediately speculated he committed suicide by taking an overdose of drugs. This turned out to be not the case.
Heath Ledger’s dead body was discovered by his housekeeper in his apartment in Manhattan on January 22nd. He was found naked on the floor. An amount of sleeping pills was found on his night table. The link between his death and suicide can be easily made. Though his close family said it is impossible Heath took his own life. “He was a very lively and high-spirited person who figured as a source of inspiration for everyone,” they say. He died at the age of twenty-eight.
After having analysed the circumstances of his death, the police stated Heath did not commit suicide. His death was an accident. He died, not on purpose, by mixing anti-depressant drugs and the sleeping pills found in his apartment. Combining these two caused an acute poisoning. Both the anti-depressant drugs and the sleeping pills have been prescribed by his doctor.
Police spokesman Paul Brown stressed that the police is not going to try and find out the true cause of Ledger’s death. The ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) is currently investigating his death.
