Heath Ledger Autopsy Results

Heath LedgerApproximately two weeks after Heath Ledger’s passing, we now officially know the cause of death.  The 28-year-old actor died from an accidental overdose.

The initial autopsy finished shortly after the Jan. 22nd event proved inconclusive.  The New York City Medical Examiner needed to perform toxicology and tissue tests for a definitive answer.

“Mr. Heath Ledger died as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine.  We have concluded that the manner of death is accident, resulting from the abuse of prescription medications.”
